I rarely make new year's resolutions, but I’m giving them a shot this year. I resolve to: (1) get to bed on time; (2) stop using the snooze button in the morning; and (3) meditate more regularly. It’s worth a try.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lawnrrd&ditemid=399126" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/399126.html status public 0 https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398813.html Wed, 03 Jan 2018 05:47:19 GMT https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398813.html <ol> <li>Agatha Christie, <i>The Murder on the Links</i></li> <li>Agatha Christie, <i>The Mysterious Affair at Styles</i></li> <li>Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, <i>Le Petit Prince</i> (in French)</li> <li>Niall Barr, <i>Eisenhower’s Armies</i></li> <li>Agatha Christie, <i>The Murder of Roger Ackroyd</i></li> <li>Jim Butcher, <i>Storm Front</i></li> <li>Agatha Christie, <i>Poirot Investigates</i></li> <li>Melanie Swan, <i>Blockchain</i></li> <li>Jim Butcher, <i>Fool Moon</i></li> <li>Jim Butcher, <i>Grave Peril</i></li> <li>Jim Butcher, <i>Summer Knight</i></li> <li>Jim Butcher, <i>Death Masks</i></li> <li>Jim Butcher, <i>Blood Rites</i></li> <li>Herman Melville, <i>Moby-Dick</i></li> <li>Mikhail Bulgakov, <i>The Master and Margarita</i></li> <li>George Pendle, <i>Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons</i></li> <li>Rick Wilson, <i>Everything Trump Touches Dies</i></li> </ol><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lawnrrd&ditemid=398813" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398813.html books public 0 https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398370.html Wed, 03 May 2017 03:56:56 GMT https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398370.html I just brought my <a href="http://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/396963.html">list of books read</a> up to date. I'm on a pace to double last year’s count, which was itself the highest since I started keeping track. (I think.)<br /><br /><br />It feels odd, though, to think of the books at the beginning of the list. I read them only a few months ago, but it seems like such a long time.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lawnrrd&ditemid=398370" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398370.html public 0 https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398281.html Mon, 01 May 2017 16:48:12 GMT https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398281.html Like many who are troubled by the updated LiveJournal terms of service, I have created an account on Dreamwidth and imported my LJ. Posts should appear on both sites, and if you still happen to be reading this, feel free to comment on either site.<br /><br />This is especially galling because I bought a permanent LJ account many years ago, but it's not as though I post often anyway.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lawnrrd&ditemid=398281" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://lawnrrd.dreamwidth.org/398281.html events public 2
