I'm going to be out in CT for a few days while Doug travels. My duties include all household minutiae, as well as keeping an eye on the cats. They are getting way too fat, and so I have to hide the food at night and put hairball cream on Mozart's paws at night. He's almost 15 pounds, which apparently is too big for a cat. He even has to go to the vet on Monday.
Allow me to dork out for a moment: I'm sitting here at the computer, playing DJ, and I opened a CD case, thinking it was Oasis. Instead, it was Interpol's "Antics" and I freaked out. That album is one of my favorites and I hadn't heard it in ages. Even better, since I have the house to myself I can blare it as loud as I want...and it's a record that should be blared. I'm a sucker for strong and intricate basslines, and Interpol's got those down to a science.
I found last year's new year's resolutions. As much as I don't like resolutions, I seem to have done pretty well in 2006.
1. Find a way to move to Spring Street: Considering that I will likely leave the Gramercy Bunker in June, relocating to Nolita may be in the cards.
2. Find out exactly what is wrong with my back and fix it. Done and done. Dr. Boris had to stick me with a few cortisone shots, but I'm running again. I'm lookin' good and feelin' fine!
3. Keep up current good flow of writing work. 2006 was a great year for writing. I am definitely proud of everything I did for, among others, Men's Health, TheSimon.com, Sirens Magazine.
4. Be a better tap dancer. I am definitely a better dancer than I was a year ago, even with all the back issues I've had to deal with. Mission accomplished.
5. Learn to play that 12-string guitar I bought three years ago. Um, yeah. I need to get on that. But I think I'd rather have a six-string.
6. Go to the next level with my photography habit. Photos have definitely gone to the next level. I now give prints as gifts and people actually like them.
7. Remember singing? Remember performing? Yeah, get on that... Singing is a talent that I am not utilizing enough. Karaoke doesn't count.
