Some things I like right now:
1) The Neo-Futurists' Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind. Some of the most energetic and interesting theatre in town. They perform (or try to) 30 short plays in 60 minutes. Sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't. But you won't care one way or the other; the joy is in the journey, not the destination.
2) Gus Fink. This is an artist I met in Atlanta when I was down there for Dragon Con (don't you judge me). Anyway, his work is cool and disturbing and I bought several pieces of it. Not for nothing, but I really like his drawings. I'm certainly not saying you have to run out and buy me some . . . but if you wanted to, who am I to stand in your way?
3) This fuckin' weather. When was the last time you were outside in January in New York and thought to yourself, "damn, I wish I'd worn shorts today"?
4) Working on my writing sample. Sure, this is a major pain in my ass, but I'd forgotten how much I enjoy doing research. It's like putting together a puzzle where you first have to find all the hidden pieces, then put them together to make a picture.
5) My iPod. Best. Gift. Ever.
6) Losing weight. Or more to the point, wearing clothes I haven't fit into for a while.
7) Cooking. Today was Mexican Chicken & Chayote Soup for lunch and a really good Tuna Pasta Salad for dinner. Tomorrow, maybe Chili or Chicken Stew. We'll see.
Things I'm Not Really Digging:
1) The assholes with their car stereos blaring and their windows down outside my apartment. While I have nothing against Middle-Eastern hip hop or whatever the hell it is, I don't want to hear it at 3 a.m.
2) The fact that Restaurant Week falls during my "no eating out" January. Meaning that I will be eating out. Bollocks.
3) Drunk assholes who sit halfway on my lap on the subway and don't have the good manners to apologize or move. Bitch, if I wanted a lap dance, I sure as hell could find a hotter guy than you to give it to me.

I'm listening to some sort of Spanish music right now, being played at top volume in the apartment across the hall. Someone was banging on their door about 30 minutes ago but it doesn't seemed to have helped. (and it's 3 a.m.)
Glad the resolutions are going well. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with your progress.
TMLMTBGB -- wow. They were doing that in Chicago when I lived there 16 years ago. It was so much fun. Do you still roll dice to see how much your admission is?
Bob: Yep, it's the same as it was back in the day. In fact, it's been running continuously in Chicago since Dec. 1988.
Just say no to Restaurant Week, it will be back soon enough, and you'll be slimmer so you can reward yourself with it.
