modest goals for modest gals in modest gaols

Resolutions, 2006:

1) Be a better person.

2) Complain slightly less.

3) Figure out career ambitions, i.e., how not to let dad's pecuniary lamentations break my heart and convince me to go all corporate law to finance his entrepreneurial ambitions.

4) Write award-winning vanguard prose, but if that's not possible, then finish screenplay for The Rock ("Farewell, Jungle Rot") and fill my East Egg swimming pool with lucre lucre lucre.

5) Run a mile in under six minutes; run another marathon.

6) Maintain that weird feeling of being at ease, what my meditation instructor called, alternately, "lovingkindness" and "namo tasso bhagavato arahato sammasambuddhasa etc." Maintain this especially when the urge to slam open hands down on car hoods becomes overwhelming, especially when the desire to scream at cops in riot gear becomes irresistible, especially when you New Yorkers do the terrible voodoo that you doo so well. That is to say, fight less.

7) Cf. #6, fight less, but engage more.

8) Get the candy pop sound of the Heavy Pets off the ground.

9) Apply myself.

10) Play less Scrabble; read more novels.

To be continued...

poo vulva and poo head like mandy just the way she is... though may we suggest she smear herself with her own feces more often?

poo vulvahead, your name is disgusting but love you nonetheless. thank you for your suggestions. they will be processed through our customary processes and then they will be implemented if found suitable. but really, p.v.h., is it even possible to smear myself with my own feces more often than i already do?
