what better way to come back
than with ny's resolutions!
1. drink more water.
hey, this sounds familiar... ok, just fwd all of last year's here.
next, i found this thingy i wrote a while ago:
"the nov resolutions:
go out and talk to strangers
blog
and draw at least 1 good picture
...everyday."
now, i would combine that blogging and drawing, and 2. have a comicblog. this serves to double as an updated folio of one-picture-one-liners.
then i found something along these lines, at thezeromovement.com:
3. when the sky's the limit, go for space.
in review:
i had a nice ending to the last year. a frantic rush for graduation, which ended, over, all so quick. not enough time to look for other-faculty friends for photos! moved house right the next day, salutes to lingje's auto skills. impromptu short tour for mom & dad before they left, and straight into the Cousins' Melb Meet. i love road trips.
we cruised down lake's entrance and went north, hide-and-seeking the coast. i took over navigating and enjoyed a midnight 1+ hour detour, making it to katoomba at 0130. not shying from adventure, we took on the blue mountain's 900 stairs, in 40 degrees c, and a grand total of 5km of Walk. made more exciting by having only the last cablecar back to our start point. well, Near our start point - "hey, only 10 mins away", i spoke to the murder in their eyes. sis reached sydney hobbling.
then it was a red christmas for me, fried by the midday sun at manly. a nice dinner with andrew, and it was the long drive home - a gundagai stop, with a red-cloud phoenix and Hales of Bay and the truck going to heaven and Grass as far as u can see with sparse stunted trees. i think god went lazy on such a big australia, he just plopped down those trees at random. we passed holbrook, a submarine town (the kinda thing u might see in FF!) and i observed with sadness as melb specked the horizon.
i saw new things in shotgun with the map. one-way and parking signs and hours and "no left/right" turns meant nothing to the pedestrian. hell, even Lanes meant nothing to the pedestrian. i read maps for real. i realized if turning left, u had to keep to the left lane, and i divined thus the secret to Navigating: 4. anticipating the future and diverting your course accordingly. this is, i think, a very good way of initiating a 21-year old.
thank u guys for having faith.
chuyee and boyko touching down thursday.
