new years resolutions

5 days, 23hrs and some odd minutes into 2009 and i thought it'd be a good time to making up some resolutions.  mind you, i don't really like new year's resolutions, so i hope you don't mind but i shall aptly call these "january 5th resolutions", which by name gives no indication of required length or prescribed dedication.  i will stick to them as i please.

1. either a) stop licking my lips before/while i am outside in the cold and/or windy chicago weather or b) invest heavily in many many tubes of blistex so that i shall never be more than an arm's length away from chapped lips relief.
2. once and for all, learn the difference between chow mein and lo mein and remember which one it is that i prefer.
3. take care of my toes.  this includes: bandaging appropriately so blisters are not to form on top of previously popped blisters, cutting my toenails regularly so that they don't just fall/rip off, painting my toenails in a hue that disguises any bruising/blood pools underneath, moisterizing.
4. stop leaving my tv on in my apartment when i leave.  always ensure my tv is tuned to a "safe channel" when i leave the apartment - this means no channels that inevitably turn from a benign "mtv cribs" or "who wants to be a millionaire?" to soft corn porn after 10pm 8pm sunset 12noon.  this means no mtv (omg, have you seen "a double shot at love?!), lifetime/women's channels, network cable, espn, special interest channels, disney, nickelodeon, and especially none of those movie channels.  my neighbors, who can clearly see into my apartment and tell what's on my tv, must think i'm one of the 17 sex offenders that live in my zip code.  for the record, i'm not.
5. eat more salt.  drink more water.
