get by

The Get More Awesome Plan (which brings to mind Kanye and Talib):

1. Get a pet: Mine is a Siamese Fighting Fish. He is purple and his name is Cecil.
2. Get your own place: As of August 1, I will live alone for the first time in my life. Apartment will be decorated with milk crates and cinder blocks.
3. Get a personal trainer: He is muscular and his name is Frank.
4. Get your learn on: I'm finally tackling "Crime & Punishment", which most of you probably read in 11th grade.
5. Get a new hobby: Mine is cross-stitch.
6. Get a new kitchen tool: Mine is a French Press.
7. Get an indulgence: Mine is semi-regular manicures.
8. Get rid of your bad habits: Mine shall remain nameless here.
9. Get an ashram: I'm visiting an ashram in NYC, yes, but an ashram nonetheless.
10. Get some perspective: I may not stick with all of this in the long run, but I'm on a kick to try.

Are you going to an ashram because you just read "Eat, Pray, Love"?

For me, it renewed my desire to learn Italian.

Al, you busted me!

Coke Bref: I am totally interested. Email me some .jpgs, maybe? I can convert them into a cross-stitch pattern and get to work!

For me, EPL inspired me to get a book contract to travel for a year and write a book. I'm thinking maybe Kansas, Korea and Kenya?
