3 days, 4 books

Another year, complete with all the good intentions and resolutions that accompany new years. Writing more is one of mine, and this is one way to achieve it. Since one of the things I do the most is read, it seemed like a nice gateway. I'm on my fourth book of 2007, if that is any indication of the sheer volume of my reading. I'm pretty democratic, however; I read just about everything. So far this year I've logged a hard-boiled lady P.I. novel, a memoir of a young girl's life on the street, a taoist meditation-for-the-day book, and a sort of fantastical Mexican prison novel.

Woman does not live by books along, though, and I find myself sometimes in danger of completely falling into my books and ignoring the world of action and people. I intend this also to be a record of the things I do, such as they are. Another resolution of mine this year is to do more. More exercise, more outdoor activities, more Pilates, more massage, more improv, more performing, more time with friends and family, more making new friends. More things I will think of later, I'm sure.

Everything starts somewhere, and this is a good a place as any.
