1. I'm listening to Slaughterhouse Five on audiobook. It's read by Ethan Hawke. He sucks. He should not be allowed to do audiobooks. He's making one of my favorite books boring.
2. I was looking at other Vonnegut audiobooks and one of them (God Bless You Mr. Rosewater) is read by Eric Summerer, who is the co-host of The Dice Tower, which is one of the boardgaming podcasts that I listen to.
3. As a rule, I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I might change that this year. What's more important than making the resolution is coming up with a plan to achieve the resolution, because I remember reading something that says that people are, like, a billion times more likely to achieve a goal if they write it down and develop a plan. The resolutions will be: Lose 60 pounds, complete my German lessons, Study and play more bridge (I have to come up with a way to measure this), log all boardgames played like I used to, and get better at keeping on top of reports and such at work.
4. I also want to work with Susan to buy a whole steer and a whole hog by the end of 2010. This will require us to get a bigger freezer, but I think it will be good for (a) our pocketbook, (b) our desire to eat more cruelty-free, and (c) my desire to cook things I've never cooked before. I read an estimate of $1826 for a whole steer (420 pounds of meat) and $564 for a whole hog (165 pounds meat).
5. I'm looking forward to our impending journey to Wyoming for Christmas. Booford is going to have a blast, unless he hates it.
