Clearly my New Year's Resolution does not involve having more discipline about the writing.

Who needs more discipline?

So to bring both my readers up to date on the past month's events, I offer the following list:

1) Finished the Mom's Christmas Present sweater in time for Twelfth Night. Haven't mailed it. I say this is because I distrust the postal service, but of course it's really because now that it's done I want it for myself.
2) Ditto for the Harry Potter Scarf I made for my friend.
3) Have tickets to see the Pretenders in about 3 weeks. I'll finally get to worship Chrissie Hynde properly.
4) I'm having a Replacements renaissance.
5) Got the entire series of Sports Night on DVD. Is roommate and I are starting to sound like dialogue from that show, and we're not really cool enough to pull that off.
6) My GayHusband got me a book called I and Claudius: Travels With My Cat for Christmas, and I highly recommend it for all disgruntled 20-something women types.
7) Diet Vanilla Coke is the greatest thing since Harpoon's Winter Warmer.
8) Neighbors are playing John Mayer CD too often and too loudly.
9) The Two Towers was all that I hoped for and more, but was long-- I'll enjoy it more on DVD when I can stretch my bad knee and go to the bathroom in between scenes. Not nearly enough surfing, either.
10) There is no #10, I just like round numbers better.

And there are two New Year's resolutions, of course. I tend to choose things that are fun for me. No dieting or quitting anything. Everyone else should follow my lead.
1) Improve my pool game.
2) Go to the movies more.
