Because I am boring, this is all I thought of to resolve this year:
Watch fewer soap operas. It doesn’t matter if they figure out whose the baby is or who killed the Puerto Rican mob boss. My life will never be this interesting, therefore must focus on practical-yet-exciting personal situations rather than situations generated by network daytime TV.
Write more. In every situation: i.e. not just dissertation but also poems, letters (on paper) to friends, diary, angry customer letters to businesses, threatening letters to government figures, etc.
Start having more fun-and-amusing pointless crushes rather than depressing pointless crushes.
Play more music: on saxomophone, in the shower, in the car, in the office, while teaching, etc. Also eat more beans, as they are “the musical fruit.”
Train cat to use the toilet and to fetch coffee in the mornings.
Train neighbors not to slam the front gate and not to steal my Sunday papers.
And, as every other person in the world: save money, exercise, eat and drink less, read and study more.
Have less boring resolutions for 2006.
