Go Get Some Zen

Maybe it isn't exactly zen, but the fellas in yellas (Tibetan Buddhist monks) are at the Crow Collection of Asian Art to make some mandalas:

"NOT the Three Tenors"

Not the three tenors, indeed, but wouldn't it be rockin' if these guys put out a single together??

BMTT day 2

Wow, two days in a row!

Amusing side note, my ex-boyfriend was once in a band called "One in a
Row". Heh.

So anyway, on with the categories:

ornament & tree squarage, 0
packing gift for sister's dog, 10, have completed 100% of sister's dog's
gift packing tasks
cat poo picking up, 10
cat beating, 0, did not beat cats as they are much too fast
working late, 5, not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing,
actually; bad since it isn't one of my goals, but good since getting
work done keeps me employed (kind of important to me)
studying, 0 so far but the evening isn't over
tracking down the revised reference books for the exam, 6, mostly done
(just need the money to purchase)
exercise, 0, still as slothful as possible between slave-driving periods
and such
diet, 6, very good except for 3 little cookies (lost some points there)
drinking, 10, awesome, perhaps need to drop this category since it
really isn't much of a challenge (usually)
smoking, 10, also awesome, see comments on drinking, above
sleep, 7, stayed up late last night looking at blog templates and such,
then abused the snooze bar repeatedly in the a.m.
blogging, 10, outFREAKINstanding

No particularly deep thoughts today. Sorry. Perhaps tomorrow?

Now this is an interesting blog. Reading it is like finding little post it notes from your inner guru who gently reminds you how to be your positive self.

BMTT

That's short for "Blog More Than 2004". Clever, eh?

Today's ratings:
laundry, 8 points, processing smoothly (still need to fold yesterday's
load, but dried and folded the sheets, washed jeans and put them in dryer)
diet, 4 points, poor (but eaten with gusto)
exercise, 0 points, nonexistent
putting away ornaments and taking down Christmas tree, 0 points, abysmal
studying, 0.001 points, considered but not implemented
drinking, 10 points, exceptionally virtuous, no alcohol intake since
Saturday
smoking, still not, and enthusiastically so, 10 points,
blogging, 6 points, fair (posted several entries of mediocre (or worse)
quality; however it is a start and I think working in the nested
parentheses (not to mention spelling it) should qualify me for bonus
points that might make up for some of the other shortcomings), with 2
bonus points, which ties "blogging" with "laundry" for the lead among
real categories that are not "drinking" or "smoking".

Blogger Still Incredibly Slow, But Crucial to New Years Resolution

Blogger is still annoyingly slow for publishing posts, and it's
especially annoying when editing and reposting an entry. Simple little
modification, 30 second wait or more each time you re-publish. I know
blogger is an amazing tool, and it's free, and I am grateful for that.
I just wish there was a QuickBlogger or something that made the process
quicker or simpler or something.

I like the post via email, but I have yet to figure out the best
combination of settings on the various machines and email programs I use
to create the least goofed-up looking entry in Blogger. I can't seem to
get the line breaks in the right place, and haven't used any method
consistently enough to determine the most successful pattern.

Still, I suppose I half-ass have a resolution to Blog More in 2004.
Ugh, dammit, wrong year. Maybe Blog My Life in 2005? More like
Blog'n'Jive 2005. Heh.

Anyway, I have semi-resolved to well, blog more. It is rather
unfortunate about about that 2004 thing not working anymore. It
shouldn't be that difficult to blog more than 2004 (eureka!!), since for
the whole month of December 04 I had about 6 posts (maybe even less; I
don't have the window open to check).

And now, without further adoo, may I present Blog More Than 2004.

One thought behind this is to consistently set aside time to evaluate my
daily progress on various things like my studying progress for the PE
Exam. That's right folks, I got my official loser letter today from the
esteemed Texas Board of Professional Engineers in Austin.

I thought about making categories for the things I am trying to improve
on or achieve consistency on, like blogging, laundry, studying,
exercise, organizing things, unpacking the remaining pile of boxes,
other household tasks, reading books, catching up on correspondence,
checking the smoke detector battery, what-have-you.

But then I realized blogger doesn't have support for categories so I'm
not sure if I want to incorporate some of these things into the post
template or what. It would be a lot to put in one template and I would
end up deleting most of it for the vast majority of my posts.

Another thing that occurred to me is that basically no one cares about
any of that stuff, but let's be frank here, odds are no one cares about
anything I'm putting on this blog anyway and most people that read it
landed here by the "next blog" button on the blogger toolbar.

To you, them, others, and anyone else, too, I say, so what. Impervious
to criticism and yes, even apathy, I shall exemplify steely resolve and
consistent blogitude as I Blog More Than 2004.
