I must do more things! Before January! Things to do!

[hawkwing_lb]

While Christmas is a culturally-mandated celebration, it is not one I actually enjoy. I enjoy giving gifts. I just wish mutual gift-giving could be divorced from the religious mummery, lip-service to which appears to be required. Because the religious stuff feels oppressive and makes my insides hurt.

Anyway.

To-do list:

1. Write 2000 words of thesis chapter at least. 3600 would be better, but seems unlikely.

2. Write column for January

3. Review Touch.

4a. Read The Almost Girl.
4b. Review The Almost Girl.

5. Contact Ideo about spring reviews.

6a. Cardio session in gym.
6b. Mixed session in gym.

7. Write up last lot of this year's books read.

and it just makes my insides hurt because three-quarters of it is patent insincerity and the remainder is earnestness and obligation. There's no way to have a space separate from that.

It is difficult; you have to make one. If you don't have family and friends who will create that space with you, especially so. I don't argue with that.

And I'm probably over-sensitive this year, anyway.

Eh. Doesn't mean it doesn't still suck.
