Problem #1? Killing me.

April 16th, 2008

How can I expect to achieve goals this year such as volunteering, starting a garden, or.. I dunno, LEARNING SPANISH (well, starting to learn Spanish, not be fluent or anything), if I can’t even make it through Brewsters Millions?

We’ve started it 3 times, and each time Riki and I have both fallen asleep at the same part, about a third of the way through, you know, the part where John Candy makes his 80th terrible joke. No disrespect to John C., may he rest in peace and all that. I know it’s a family film, he had to do what he had to do.

This weekend Brewster, you’re mine! If there is one thing I do, it’s finishing something that I set out to do, or publicly declared on a blog that I would do.

That’s not entirely true. But I won’t give up, I’ll fight my way through it!
