So I have been thinking that one of my resolutions for 2011 needs to be to spend less time in front of screens, and more time playing satisfying, edifying music.

The other day my eyes were burning a couple hours before I went to bed, and I realized barely a moment had passed in the day when I hadn’t had my eyes on a computer screen, the TV, or my Blackberry. Not good! I don’t want to be that person. I don’t want, in my thirties, to need a parent who limits my daily screen time. Must do it for myself.

I have to be on the computer for work, but I don’t need to play on it as much; I certainly don’t need to watch as much TV as I sometimes do. So I think starting in 2011 I need to read more books and play much, much more music around the house.

I am totally with MamaKitt on the wanting to play showtunes more frequently, as we both once did, so that’ll be part of the plan; I also, as I’ve said, need to actually check out some of these people and groups who interest me. And I need to learn about more new people — I used to really pay attention to new stuff, and don’t so much any more.

Ah, 2011. We are resolved to make you grand!

And I am resolved to get on the road for my holiday first thing in the morning, so this will be the last you’ll hear from me for a bit. Enjoy your own holiday, reader[s]! Check you on the flip side.
