In a move that coincidentally occurrs in the same time period as the arbitrary switching of Gregorian calendar years, I have decided not to drink so much for a while.
I'm telling all of you so you can mock me when I eventually post about being hungover.
my ex is doing the same.
are you drunk yet?

There is no alcohol in my house now. Strange, isn't it. I hope
they don't come back while I am sober.

I've decided to leave the cactus alone, and stick to bourbon...Though not frequently.

Well, I wish you much success with that. I'm going to try to lose some weight. I've been a skinny schmuck for most of my life but it seems like right around when I turned 32, my mouse-like metabolism gave way to regular metabolism. That and I'm married to a good cook.
Resolutions are for suckers and sissies.
I prefer to live with the smug self-satisfaction that arises when one knows that one's own bad choices will be one's eventual undoing and decides to just not give a fuck.
I don't really have a resolution...I guess my goal is being productive, creatively. Actually making the comics and stories I have in my head/in Word files.
My new years resolution is 640x480
I resolved to sell my collection of fine condition 1896 Edward Weller Maps of the Ancient World, on EBay.
Not a resolution, but I'm starting a new diet. It's called the Apocalypse Diet and the goal is to only eat food that I could reasonably have stockpiled, and foods that I can easily acquire locally. There will be a blog, and it will last until March.
I'm still working my way through leftovers right now. The blog starts when the leftovers run out.

I was waiting for this.
I'm not drinking either.
...As soon as I get rid of the last of the mead in my fridge. It's not a lot, but it has to go.
I'm also giving up coffee as soon as I can get a decent amount of money for food shopping so I can get a good amount of tea and a water filter. My damn tap water tastes like anise. This bothers me.

:potd:
It's the only way.
Ive decided that the reason that resolutions fail is because people set such lofty goals.
So instead of a new years resolution Ive decided to set New Months resolutions.
The first ones will be simple, putting the correct shoes on the correct feet, brushing my teeth, ect. and I will slowly move up to the big ones like owning a major fast food chain or world domination(see previous).
Exercise routine, so I can (re)start my martial arts training routine.
Oh, and I'm learning how to contact juggle, because everyone calls me elf or glefling already:
(http://didier.arlabosse.free.fr/balles/clip/papillok.gif)
I have a friend who does that compulsively and it's just about the single most annoying thing ever. Like, only slightly less annoying than when people say things like "in all honesty", "frankly", or "to tell you the truth..." as though they had obviously been lying to you up to that point.
That sounds really cool Nigel, do you grow any vegies or herbs?
Also: I'm losing 40lbs.
I'm not TRYING To lose 40lbs, I _AM_ losing 40lbs. And it will be done by the summer. Enough of this bullshit. I'm sick of this hate weight I put on.

The hangover part is the only reason I am considering to ease up on drinking.
*hates the yuk feeling the next day but loves the yay feeling the day before*
Oh well.

Oh yes. Oh my, yes.
I am a compulsive hoarder-for-the-end-times and have been growing and scavenging food since I was an impoverished and hungry urchin.
I grow almost everything. Herbs, veggies, fruit. It would be a long and boring list were I to try to spell them all out.

It only hurts when you stop.
My resolution is to stop eating questionable food.
examples:
-chinese food from the back of the fridge that's been there so long that I can't remember how long ago it was I had it, then when I check my bank account to see when I bought it I shudder, then eat it anyway
-spoiled 3 week old macaroni salad that I doused in hot sauce to cover the funk (that one actually made me sick)
-grey roasted chicken
-molded bread
-sticky things off the floor covered in cat hair
-things off other people's plates when they weren't looking
-candy from 2 halloweens ago
-crunchy peeps
-eggs 2 months past the use by date
This madness just needs to end.
nigel, to help the theme
I suggest you limit the number of days
which your allowed to buy anything during the three months

Surely the peeps and candy are fine? And eating stuff off others' plates--if you were there when they put it on there, again, no harm or foul.
As to the other things...eh, yeah, in moderation if anything.
And I resolved to not have any resolutions, but damn all those holiday pix of me show how much this heifer needs to lose. Suu, I'll see you your 40# and hope to gawd we both win. I'm so tired of tight clothing but refuse on principle to do anything else but squeeze. :lulz: /am a dork so what?

I've resolved to lose 200+ pounds in dead weight this year. May he live happily with the new me out there in California.
I will be divorced in 2011. If it kills me! :argh!:

You know what contact juggling was originally called? Michael Moschen's act.

I agree (I had some very interesting conversation with the couple who owns the juggling shop here in PDX about Moschen and the new bullshit "Fushigi ball" gaaah, the drama that the Fushigi has caused....). I find that it is also a very very good Chi/Ki exercise (one of my primary motivations), as it is teaching me "loose hands", or "soft chi manipulation".
Great background on the historical pre-cursors of Moshen's art here: http://www.ministryofmanipulation.com/articles/history-ball-contact/
