Kate Chopin on Robin Williams movies and Half-Life 2

I need a new alarm clock--and not just because I can't seem to wake up on time anymore.

I feel like I've been sleepwalking for months now. Ostensibly I wake up each day, scurry about a bit and then go back to sleep. But it feels like I'm consistently missing step one. I keep waiting for something to snap me out of it. I keep expecting to just shake it off out of the blue one of these days. But I'm starting to think that's not going to happen.

This apathetic lethargy I'm experiencing is not going to go away on its own. I'm not going to just wake up. So I need an alarm clock. A good one. Fast.

On to the pro-active portion of this post, then. Generally I'm opposed to New Year's resolutions, but since it's already the middle of January I feel justified in making some holiday-free resolutions. I could just make these affirmations internally, of course, but I do that all the time, and look at me. If I say it all out-loud, so to speak, write it all down on this piece of electronic paper...I might just make good on my promises to myself for once. In that spirit, I, KT Prime, do solemnly swear to my blog-viewing public to do the following:

1. Go to class. (I really can't emphasize this one enough.)

2. Start writing again.

3. Go to the gym a couple of times every week.

4. Do my laundry tomorrow.

5. Call Direct TV on Tuesday.

6. Occassionally blow off my friends in order to be productive.

7. Sever the umbilical cord between myself and Facebook.

8. Become less apathetic. Become quite the opposite, in fact. (Which, I suppose, linguistically speaking ought to be "pathetic'... though that just doesn't sound right.)

9. Make the most of what is in my freezer. Soon.

10. Literally, buy a new alarm clock. The one I have has a snooze button. This is a problem.


So these are my resolutions, my campaign promises, if you will. Hold me to them, America. Shame me, if you must. If I fail, I will deserve it.
