River: goals for 2014
2014-01-04 09:44 pmIt'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.
