love everything by Douglas Adams as much as I did the first time no matter how often I read them
Untitled 1 week ago

I don’t know that there’s any way to ever truly mark this done, but I’m going to anyway. I still love Douglas Adams’ work. I don’t see that disappearing anytime soon. And this goal irritates me in its nebulousness.

So it’s done.



eat out less
Untitled 1 week ago

I went over budget the last couple of months on restaurant/bar spending. I’m doing okay on grocery spending, though. We eat at home a lot, but apparently not enough. Plus, one of the outings this last month was an expensive one. It was a friend’s birthday and so I went all out. Ouch, though.

So, next month, I’m going to aim for no more than one eating out experience per week (and that includes paying for coffee shop goodies).



get an instant camera
Untitled 1 week ago

I wanted to get and play with a Fuji Instax camera, but now I’m reconsidering in favor of a vintage medium format camera. We’ll see how the ebaying goes. If I get a good deal on a working vintage camera, I’ll drop this goal and focus on that camera.
