Decidedly NOT Listless
Things I Really Really Want to Do:
Finish this book I've been editing for-freaking-ever.
Go to a horse race.
Travel back in time to cure the plague.
Not be so goddamn tired all the time.
Be a play-by-ear person instead of an I-need-sheet-music person.
Bang a gong (get it on).
Make short films about nothing in particular set to kickass music.
Impress y'all with my knowledge of obscure foreign films.
Stop biting my nails.
Haven't you ever been to a horse race? Ask the man in the basement... I'm sure he'll take you.
And if you cured the plague, that would alter history so greatly that there is NO WAY you would exist. you'd cure yourself out of existance.
Get a manicure every week. Expensive, yes. But that's what got me to stop chewing my nails and cuticles. (Besides it's summer and you deserve pretty fingernails.)
Alas, I have no fingernails to manicure. I'd go into the salon and the lady would be all, "Uh...so what do you want me to do with those?" I'm thinking of gluing on mittens or something. That should do the trick.
You don't even KNOW how much I want to be a play-by-ear person. I can pick out the melody line, but that's it. So sad. It's funny, though. The people that can play by ear typically wish they could read music. I guess the grass IS always greener...
