River: goals for 2014

[mdlbear]

It's a pretty low-key "party", so I'm sitting here watching most of the guests playing scrabble with Colleen and thinking about goals for the new year. I don't do resolutions -- I'm totally irresolute. But a couple of things to shoot for? I can do that.

• Get back into recording. I don't think I can manage a whole album, but I can probably manage a lot of scratch tracks and a few complete mixes, and maybe build up momentum that way.
• Eat better. I may not lose weight, much as I'd like to, but nothing says I can't have more salads for lunch.
• Similarly, walk more. I've gotten horribly out of shape, but my new office is farther from my preferred bus stop than the old one. (The 70 stops only a block away, but I'd have to stand around at 3rd and Pike waiting to change busses. I'd rather walk.)
• Get the medical bills taken care of. I've been ignoring a lot of them. My sign-on bonus will probably go for that and taxes, mostly.
• Bring some better order to my motley collection of blogs and web sites, with as much of the content as possible deployed using git hooks.
• Write more! Songs, fiction, essays, whatever. I haven't done any writing to speak of for, what? Two years?
• Sell the Starport.

May it be a glorious new year for you.

And easy where not specifically engaging.

I am, as I mentioned, intensely jealous of the greatroom and the spiral staircase. And thanks for the chance to sample the Corryvreckan!

Here's that monologue I wrote about Murkworks North that I told you about. People found it entertaining at the time.

Thanks for coming! I'm afraid there weren't a whole lot of people, but it was great having you over.

Yeah, right after the holidays is a rough time to try to throw anything - most people are pretty partied out. Summer is the big party time here regardless - and with those balconies and that greatroom, it'll be a fantastic hosting space. Thanks for inviting me!
