New Year’s Changes

Scott wrote this at around evening time:

Foremost in my mind as to changes for the new year is “Why are the various flames in the apartment yellow instead of blue today?” The stove, the water heater, the furnace, all of them are giving yellow flames today, which is a sign that they aren’t being properly oxygenated, and thus aren’t burning completely. I’m somewhat curious as to where my oxygen has gone. I was even more curious as to if carbon monoxide was building up to kill me in my sleep, so I bought a detector, and it is satisfying my worries by displaying a nice 0 on its display. The manual says that 0 means less than 30ppm, which I’m ok with. Also it’s generally a good idea to have a detector anyways, so now I do.

Secondarily, I think 2008 is the year I finally finish my Yahoo personals profile I started a few years ago. Occasionally I log on and reactivate my email address and look at my profile with it’s large blank spaces where a title and some sort of descriptive text should be. Then I draw a blank and go do something else. At least 3 times that something else has been to go find a picture of myself to use for the profile. Then somehow I lose it, and have to find it again the next time. I think I’m going to have to start remembering to take a camera with me when I go places, and then have someone take pictures of me with it, since I don’t really have any pictures of myself.

Third-idarily, I’m sure there is something more pressing I should be promising, but I think I’m going with purchase clothing which does not have holes in it, and throw away the pieces that do. I’m very attached to my old clothes, but at the point where the holes have lined up through several layers, that’s where I draw the line.

    I know what you mean about clothes. I still have flanel shirts I wore 12 years ago in highschool. Think it is time to get rid of them? I don’t know I really love that mauve one still.

    Try to have fun shopping. Find a clerk that is bored to give you advice. :)
