Some Short-Term Goals

Well, this place is pretty bare! In this apartment there is a couch, what they call a 'burl' table (which is just a slice of tree...more BC than that and you die), and a massive clump of wires and machines for my 'wireless' system! In order to have wireless Internet on your laptop at home...they need to put a wire into everything else in sight! That's all that's in here, with the exception of a few empty boxes.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just fine! Mind you, I am looking forward to doing this place bit by bit. I'm quite comfortable and my friends Ann and Al have seen to that. I have to tell you about them (separate blog).

I've decided to have this livingroom in a natural-looking motif. I want some treelike plants in here. The hardwood almost demands that 'look'. I am getting a webcam and I'll take pictures and post them.

The short-term goals are as follows:

• A little urban gardening (various planters on the balcony) and some indoor plants
• To swim in the pool downstairs 30 minutes/day
• Poke around the neighbourhood here for some funky decorative things for the apartment
• Get myself a doctor and a dentist (cringe)
• Find a library and take books out (I think I was in grade school the last time I did that...and I think that was at gunpoint). I want to read some completely different authors. Any suggestions? Please spare me the romance novels, folks! I like Kathy Reichs, Ken Follett, Ian Rankin, and I am about to start my first Agatha Christie book. That gives you a little idea of the general area of the ballfield to which I tend to navigate. Merci.
• Oh, and get an mp3 player. Again, suggestions are certainly welcome (I have no clue on this one).

I think will do it in the 'goals department' for this month!

A demain et bonne nuit les amis!
