Ugh, I really need to make a to-do list. Not that any of you would care, but I have to keep reminding myself…
- Get a haircut.
Sorry J, but long hair is more of a nuisance than anything else. I really should get it done more often (last time was around Christmas), but I hate getting my hair cut. I hate my awkward attempts to make small talk. I hate trying to answer ‘how do you want it?’ when I have no real clue or preference. I hate being touched that way.
- Get an eye exam and new frames.
It’s been a long time since my last exam and although my vision hasn’t deteriorated much, if any, it wouldn’t hurt to get the prescription up-to-date. And it’s way past time to ditch the aviator frames. I may be an uber-geek, but there’s no need to broadcast it so blatantly. :-P They’re getting fairly warped and beat-up anyway.
- Get new shoes
It’s probably a bad thing when there’s a hole worn almost all the way through the sole… I really should put more effort into finding a *good* pair of shoes though, that won’t completely fall apart within a year. I’ve traditionally gone with Reebok walking shoes, but the construction didn’t seem all that great on this last pair, and I’ve heard good things about the Rockport ‘World Tour’ shoes.
- Take the Class 7 permit exam
A Class 5 may be a ways off yet, but I should at least get the Class 7 redone just to start the timer on the probationary period, if nothing else. Now I just need to find the time to study and take it…
- Clean up and organize around the apartment a bit more
Miraculously enough I’ve managed to keep the place reasonably decent, but there are still a few things to take care of. In particular are bunches of things like CDs, manuals, DVDs, etc. that get shuffled around from spot to spot a lot, often winding up just sitting on the floor by the desk. I need to clear out some more closet space for the manuals and get some racks for the discs, at least.
- Buy some new jeans.
It’s almost comical just how poorly my current pairs of jeans fit me. I could probably shelter homeless people in them. It’s hard enough just holding them in place long enough to get the belt looped.
- Restart the diet
Hovering around a point is perfectly fine, but finishing off that last 15-20 lbs first would be even better.
- Shoot myself in the head.
For not already taking care of this stuff regularly at my age…
I just got my hair cut today!
As for shoes, get yourself a good pair that’s comfy to walk in. Matt could give you some good suggestions – he’s got some *really* good pairs he’s had for ages!
In regards to your “Shoot myself in the head” to-do item….
Use a NERF gun. :-) Between Fluffy’s sociopathy, Binky’s… well, being Binky, and Jenn being all girly and sane, I count on you for level-headed insanity. If you shoot yourself in the head with something decidedly “non-NERF”, you will inadvertently offset the balance of ludicrousness in this plane of reality, and everything will go straight past hell (for some say it’s already there) right into heck, blazes, and beyond.
And we just can’t have that. :-)
It’s Nerf or nothing? :-)
Yeah. That’s the ticket. :-)
