tis odd

how often the world makes sense and your place in it crystal clear at 3 o clock in the morning. it doesn't matter where i lay. the sounds of the San Francisco street or my mother's wind chimes hanging in my home - after you finish fretting over the fact that you can't sleep, very large spots on your brain dismantle and unfold, picking up speed as the hours flow by.

quite lovely.

2006 limped to an end

my god, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. family emergencies, work crises, applying for school... and now we are in 07! woo-hoo! and medic!

as i do every year, i make resolutions for the upcoming. i will be keeping them on the side of this page, in order to keep myself honest.

one. read at least 50 books this year.
two. redecorate and make my apartment home this year. i mean, color. furniture, art. all. organization.
three. go vegan for 6 weeks. tweak my diet slowly, and be more healthy. cook more.
four. walk at least 10 miles a week.
five. see more live music, perhaps three new bands a month. in addition to the shows i would already see.
six. relax. don't be so hard on myself. life is too short.

i think that does it.
