"Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature." Tom Robbins

Only two months left until Oktoberfest!*

Who says we need New Year's for resolutions? I made a resolution in September** to stop making fun of this one guy in public (and in private, so far as I could help it). I'd also made the resolution to continue making fun of this guy, which I'd fallen behind on as of late.

My resolutions usually stick.*** This is because I don't make any that I wouldn't realistically keep. I never said I'd quit smoking on January 1; I never resolved to stop eating good food on January 1; I never said I'd stop making fun of this guy on January 1. In fact, I didn't even resolve to start working out on January 1.

My current resolution will be to subscribe to three new magazines over the next three months. (I'm open to suggestions for which three will be the winners.) I'd say, "I resolve to have a job by September," but that ball is not in my court.

Speaking of which, I've got an interview on Monday. Wish me well.

Notes on the above:
*Oktoberfest: Octoberfest is October 8-16. Who's coming?

**a resolution in September: Guess you could call it a Jewish New Year's resolution since it did fall around Rosh Hashanah.

***My resolutions usually stick: For example, New Year's 1996: No more eating those terrible scones. Status: successful.

But getting to K-W is half the fun. Especially if you go on a big yellow schoolbus full of Engineers. And when you get there it's like you're in a whole other world where all the female staff wear dirndls and all the male staff wear cheap lederhosen, and there's oompa music and gambling and big tasty pretzels . . .
