As my parents left the driveway with their car full of "four shopping carts worth" of stuff, i stood in the middle of the living room, considering what had to be done. Because of course something had to be done. A lot of people had been doing a lot of moving, and it wasn't fair unless i could at least join in a little bit. In short, the "Army Brat Wanderlust" came on hard and fast, and i completely rearranged the furniture in the living room -- after dutifully storing the Christmas ornaments and curbing the empty tree, of course. I also did some minor tweaking in my room, to the point that most of the analog media is now stored in a more permanent fashion, and I have finally got a mirror back in my room after a really long time. But i've got some things that i would like to hang up out in the open instead of in the closet. Hmm...

2003: Resolved.... Most of my resolutions this year have to do with that which has recently come into my possession...

1. Install a more permanent gate to the back yard, for Mercy's sake.
2. Fix the wicked seam in the driveway, which will get more wicked by the month unless it's attended to.
3. Be a good landlord to my roommate(s).
4. Continue to leap like a gazelle in the tundra. (right, Tom?)
5. Ever increase in hospitality, including parties, poker games, and potlucks galore.
6. Maintain a willingness to learn from those who i trust, and maintain a willingness to teach those who have found me trustworthy.
