I know I haven't posted my 101 in 1,001 list here but since this is, in a sense, a blog of resolutions I figured this would be the place to post my modifications to some of my goals. I'm hoping this clarifies the intent behind the original statements making it easier to follow through on them.
I'm still having problems teasing out clarifications on a couple of other items. For "have a geeky sleepover" I need to define what this constitutes because a night spent at a friend's house might count but this feels like it should be more than that. Similarly "make a permaculture plan for the yard" underscores my desire to learn more about permaculture but seems to be somewhat of a waste of time since it isn't my yard and too large in scope on top of that. Reworking this is a priority.
A few other goals are problematic mostly due to the way my life is currently situated. Along with the already mentioned local food goals which I've made less specific, there's "host a game night". And there are a couple of goals I'm not too interested at following through with at least for the moment, particularly since I'm not sure what I originally wanted to get out of the experience. In particular, "record a chapter for librivox" and "vlog once a week for a year". And finally, there's "write a letter a week for a year" which I was doing until it became tedious and stressful, the exact opposite of what I wanted. I'm going to have to rework this so that I'm still keeping in touch with people but more in a way that feels less like an obligation and more spontaneous.
