New Year’s Resolution for 2011

New Year’s Resolutions: A year in review

I only remember one of my 2010 resolutions: Do a better job of staying in contact with friends. On a scale of 1 – 10, I think I managed about a 3, unless you count Facebook, which we really shouldn’t.

One resolution only. That’s pretty bad.

I checked my last year’s blog entry and here is my list and how I’ve judged my success:

1. Be a better friend by staying in touch. Results: 3.

I started out fairly strong but by the end of the year I was reduced to holiday postcards from Tokyo.

2. Socialize more. Results: 5.

My success on this front is reflected in how much money I spent at restaurants, coffee shops, and venues, and how many check-ins I have on Foursquare. Of course, by the end of summer, I lost mayorships to everything but my dentist and [...]

Early New Year resolutions

By ~LS~ On December 10, 2009 · Add Comment · In The Quotidian (yadda yadda) and tagged Tagged With: Goals, Holidays

Even though I’m exactly three weeks early, I’m declaring my resolutions today. It’s never to soon to get started on positive changes in your life, right?

In no particular order:

1. I resolve to be a better friend. There are so many friendships I have let slip away. Drfit is a natural thing in friendships, of course, but I seem to be quite good at letting people disappear for no real reason other than friendship laziness. Facebook has made this point abundantly clear to me by bringing people back into my life. Still, all I do is click on the lick button or drop a comment. I’m not good at calling people, sending emails, or much of anything else. This is something I will try to change. Christmas cards, however, are still pretty much out.

2. I resolve to socialize more. According to the Myers Briggs test, I am an [...]

1. Except for what people post on facebook, I haven’t read Huffpo in a long time.

2. I am probably a month behind on lolcats.

3. Someone at school rewrote the final exam matrix thereby borking my entire finals week.

4. I am behind on grading and other work-related deadlines.

5. My Gender and Communication class proposal will likely get rejected, so I will be stuck teaching public speaking forever.

6. I’m really frustrated about my final exam schedule since it impinges on getting ready for my trip to Rome (poor me).

7. The faculty senate is an ineffectual, disenfranchised lot of folk who like to “match stories” rather than do anything (with a handful of exceptions). Consequently there’s a lot of horizontal hostility and some bitter resentment going on there. Very unproductive. If any of them are reading this (which I doubt would ever ever ever happen), I hope [...]

Valentine’s Day

By ~LS~ On February 15, 2008 · Add Comment · In Pop Culture and tagged Tagged With: Holidays, Movies

Yesterday was a great Valentine’s day. I looked forward to it for two weeks and I wasn’t disappointed. First we woke up at 6:30 AM (gawd) and baked our usual v-day cookies. Then that evening we went out to eat steak at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse. Which was yummy. Last, we went to see another Bollywood movie, Jodhaa Akbar. I had been looking forward to this movie ever since they started showing the previews for it three months ago.

Essentially, Jodhaa Akbar is a love story between the Muslim Mughal Emperor and his Hindi wife in 16th century India. It stars Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan), who I think is terribly beautiful. The movie was widely anticipated, and we didn’t get good seats because the theater was so full. The film showed at Grand Cinema, which has taken over the Hindi movie niche from the closed Siegen movie theater. Steve and I have [...]
