Do tell.

1) Get some discipline such that i spend more time at the library.
2) Learn to live comfortably with minimal AIM use.
3) Finish the instrumental overdubs on the 'Telepaths recordings, and perhaps even master them if i'm feeling especially efficient.
4) Learn to let the war affect me less. Honestly, theres always been heaps of injustice and war, so I'm not sure that its valid that this one's upsetting me so much more than any other war ever has.
5) Same as last month.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 31 March 2003 09:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Jel, I saw him do some freaky thing where he like pulls someone's internal organs or something. But then they're *magically* alright. My friend Dave does the funniest impression of Derron Brown. This is proven by science.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 31 March 2003 09:12 (twenty-three years ago)

6. finish 'ulysses'

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 31 March 2003 09:21 (twenty-three years ago)

When you say 'finish' do you mean read all the words or do you mean *finish*? Ulusses was on the Senior Freshman English Lit course at Trinity. It scared me, and still does.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 31 March 2003 09:33 (twenty-three years ago)

1) Try hard NOT to be neurotic and let things with HSA take their natural course.
2) Read less silly novels, and read more Headucational non-fiction.
3) Quit music journalism and mean it.
4) Keep up exercise routine and do not let it slip because it's nicer to lie around with HSA instead of going for long walks.
5) Look like I'm paying attention/give a damn so I don't get in so much trouble at work!

''When you say 'finish' do you mean read all the words or do you mean *finish*? Ulysses was on the Senior Freshman English Lit course at Trinity. It scared me, and still does'.''

oh, read all the words. Though I can't understand everything I love his writing and its a much better novel than 'Portrait of the Artist'.

Once I finish I intend to read it again sometime later (towards the ned of the yr, I don't know)

I'd hate to read books as part of assignment. raeding for pleasure is best.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 31 March 2003 09:58 (twenty-three years ago)

1) do what i resolved to do but failed to do last month

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 31 March 2003 10:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Coo what a swizz. I though James Joyce was supposed to have finished it ages ago.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 31 March 2003 10:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha!

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 31 March 2003 11:04 (twenty-three years ago)

When is the ned of the year, Julio? I ask merely that we may check up on yr progress later on.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 31 March 2003 11:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned of the year = just after the DaveQuinox.

I'm not bad. I probably will not need surgery on it, I just need to do some physical therapy.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 31 March 2003 13:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Could that involve some light jazz dance? I'm glad that you got good news.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 31 March 2003 13:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes indeed! Hurrah for no surgery, which should be the case! :-)

My resolution:

1. Mail out the taxes
2. Just finish the damn revision already! (6000 words to go)
3. Ponder duly.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 March 2003 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

You have to make a resolution to ponder?

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 31 March 2003 13:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, it strengthens my resolve.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 March 2003 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

yep Lara, Derron is scary! But he has inspired to me to come with another resolution:

Also jel this is the dog you're looking for.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 31 March 2003 14:25 (twenty-three years ago)

wow! Ronan got the power.

Though, playing guess the card with Lemmy is going to be too easy: It's the Ace of Spades! (haha, I deserve my own BBC1 not-very funny comedy show)

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 31 March 2003 14:27 (twenty-three years ago)

heh, he could flip the card as the cue for a stupendous performance of the song.
