1) Find a date for Valentine's Day, goddammit. (Not that I'm trying very hard to accomplish this, and not that I necessarily want to make this a priority -- but it would be a nice thing to have happen.)

2) Stick to my "diet."

AVOID letting the second half of my translation job get as regularly ilm'isdirected and ilx'ed-up as happened to the first half in Dec/Jan

1) Stop letting obsessions with boys take over and ruin my life (yes, I'm looking at you, Hilton)
2) Record a demo and get some decent solo gigs, and actually try to shop it to labels.
3) Work on not getting so wound up all the time

finish writing this damn album, and start recording it!

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 01:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Not feed the trolls.
Finish re-mixing these damn improvisations and start writing songs over the results!

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 09:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Cheerfully wave goodbye to The Wagon.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 09:32 (twenty-three years ago)

1) write some songs as good as the last one i wrote - this might be difficult.
2) stop spending so much time on the ilx and AIM

3. stop lying to myself
4. not fall over in the street

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 12:09 (twenty-three years ago)

You should also stop lying to friends and abusing yourself, if you ever do such things.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 18:31 (twenty-three years ago)

finish madame bovary
She's a fictional character, so can't be killed.

Finish To The Lighthouse.

Loose more weight.
Eat a big Dame Blanche (which of course ruins my chances of achieving the former).

― nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 18:37 (twenty-three years ago)

1) Don't get evicted (new management has threatened to evict anyone with pets, but seems to mean "dogs" not "the cats I paid a pet deposit to keep").

2) Don't get expelled (bureaucracy's left hand is starting to frown at me for exploiting the loophole bureauracry's right hand advised me to exploit to keep my loan from being revoked).

3) Finish paid writing assignments before continuing the having-fun-with-a-wouldn't-it-be-nice-to-sell-this-for-millions-novel.

4) In general, avoid the terrible. February has usually been my worst month, which makes me nervous when things like #1 and #2 rear their heads.

three weeks pass...

1. take the damn cisco exam already! (and, at least one hr study in the morning, and one in the afternoon)

:(:(:(:( complete failure at this. didnt even try it!

2. move house. or, failing that, get the current situation sorted

oh no! this is ongoing also:( haha

3. book flight to NYC

yay:) it is soon!

4. get the programs cd off matt (and the keyboard off ed)

got the keyboard, but matt is too busy at moment, when hes next in london apparently

5. go to the end, lost and electric stew

1 out 3. went to the end, but no one was going to lost, and electric stew kind of disappeared into the ether

6. drink less in the week/go to bed EARLY!

well, i went out a little bit less which is good, but didnt really seem to manage getting to bed any earlier

7. finish madame bovary

abandoned it! read after the quake instead, and now on behindlings

8. save £750

no! but hopefully when i get back from nyc, on next pay check

weird, i seem to have done quite badly this time around, i thought i'd done ok, till i read this. it actually feels like ive been very succesful. strange!

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 3 March 2003 15:12 (twenty-three years ago)

1. Get all the ILX comp CD's sent out. - Opps, got quite a few sent out though, C+
2. Make some sort of plan. - Didn't make any, but this was a stupid resolution, C
3. Be more serious, sometimes - I think you'll be hard pressed to find any stupid comments from me on ILX, A

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 3 March 2003 15:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, my. Time to review my list. I'd totally forgotten about it...

February:
1- finish January goals list
What was on there? I totally forgot. Oh, well.
2- adopt a more sexy strut
Check!
3- continue to focus all my energy on growing my hair out
Check! Think I might get a haircut next month, but nothing drastic. Just some sort of style for my now longish hair.
4- force my band members to actually have practices instead of just playing shows all the time
Nope. Didn't happen. And we're stuck in our current space another month. Blech. Both members are busy with their new houses, painting and what-not. Instead, I've been working on songs for 8-track, with my bf for a new band, with my other new band... Screw 'em.
5- buy a bunch of crap I don't need
Hmmm... Did ok with this one (bought a stripey shirt and sox, but actually that was yesterday and was thus in MARCH), but mostly I've been paying bills. *sigh* So boring.
6- have a good valentine's day
Was v nice. Got bf an ebow. Got lots of cool stuff from him too, including necklaces.
7- get my 2 broken amps fixed
Urh. Did not happen. I suck.
8- rejoin the gym
Nope. But don't know if/when I will. Instead, I've been walking more (it's been pretty out).

1) Stop letting obsessions with boys take over and ruin my life (yes, I'm looking at you, Hilton)

D'OH!!! Kicking and saying "I told you so" commences now...

2) Record a demo and get some decent solo gigs, and actually try to shop it to labels.

OK, at least I started work on this. We've played two decent gigs, and we've made a lot of progress on the demo, even though it's not finished yet coz we were too busy getting ready for the gigs.

3) Work on not getting so wound up all the time

D'OH!!!

Oh well, there's always next month. :-(
