Some resolutions:

  1. Be in better shape than I am now
  2. Pass my departmental prelim
  3. Contact friends and family every month
  4. Do something creative
  5. … I need a fifth resolution here. Perhaps something involving sexy lady types. :)

2011 Redux

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Did I accomplish all of my goals for this year?  Did I accomplish any?

  1. Get down to 172 lbs. or 12% body fat
    Fail. Damn. I thought I’d set the goal at 175. Even then I failed. I got down to 177 for a while, but it turns out I just have a bigger frame than I thought. I got to the point where I exercised every day for three months, counted calories, and maximized my protein intake, but it just wasn’t enough to overcompensate for the heavy, regular drinking.
  2. Start and maintain a podcast
    Ambivalent. I have many things to upload and many things to work on,
  3. Maintain my Sarah Project
    Success! Sort of. I messed up last week.
  4. Maintain my secret Sentence Project
    Fail. I simply cannot keep up with projects. I think I should stop.
  5. Pass my departmental prelim, write a chapter
    Fail. This has not happened. It will by April, though. It has to!
  6. Super Friend Bash 2011
    Success! Oh no!
  7. Finish writing my microfiction
    Fail. Though I did start the @puntitled account. That was kind of fun.

Why Jiffy Lube is wrong for America

Hay Gauys!

Would you like to buy a used Honda Civic Hybrid? I just replaced the electric engine and got new tires.

Unfortunately… it has 145,000 miles and the transmission is shot– Jiffy Lube tightened it up too harshly and cracked it. To replace it is gonna be $1800.

Also: I am broke and sad. :(

Can I have your moneys now?
