When I start feeling out of sorts, making lists helps remind me of what I want to do and where I want to go and how I want to live.
- Join the gym and incorporate working out into a feel-good routine – be able to do 50 pushups and 100 sit ups without dying.
- Get a china cabinet and fill it with strange and beautiful things.
- Find a fibery art person to publish a podcast with.
- Take a figure drawing class.
- Get a quality DSL-R and learn to properly use it (preferably before we have any kids, so that I could take amazing pictures of them- there are so few baby pictures of me)
- Become familiar with different wines and pair them with food.
- Collect and read more art books, and classics.
- Wear what I want to wear and feel less self-conscious.
- Wear more red lipstick.
- Fill up the 120G iPod I’m getting next week with new and interesting and moving pieces of music.
- Be absolutely glamorous once in a while for no reason. Better yet if there was one.
- Learn Photoshop.
- Scribble in my sketchbook and fill it with images that fascinate me.
- Visit all the major art museums in the world.
- Read more poetry. Cover my walls and the insides of my eyelids with it.
- Actually do the Artist’s Way course, instead of just reading the book.
- Make a new friend.
- Finally get my piano.
- “Win” NaNoWriMo
- Get up earlier to be by myself to enjoy my coffee, read the news, write or knit a little.
- Listen to more varied genres of music that interest me – classical, jazz, world, ambient.
- Finish my Tree Jacket
- Join groups on Flickr and take more photos.
- Sew cushion covers for my couch, new curtains, wall hangings with interesting stitches.. anything to make our place seem more ours.
- Learn to play the violin.
- Drink way more water (maybe order a pretty sigg bottle so I’m not freaking out about BPA and stuff).
- Subscribe to Spin-Off and Spin. And Vogue. Shut up.
- See Iceland.
- Get a penpal I don’t necessarily know and spill our guts to eachother on paper.
- Float away in a hot air balloon.
- Watch all of the Elegant Universe, and the Planet Earth miniseries.
I’ll keep going later. This is enough for my brain for now.
