+ start a band (finally)
+ write my novel
+ update the make-out party website
+ re-learn silk screening (photo emulsion)
+ start a new zine (reviews, interviews, etc.)

i feel pretty good about this list. i believe that this time round i set realistic goals that i can meet. however, i've decided that because i'm starting all of this goodness in less than a week's time that i am allowed to be a bad girl until then (aka: not going to the gym this entire week). that's my present to myself. wahey!
