Then there are the end-of-year book and movie lists that are always fun and frustrating to read and inspire me to make my own.
I recently came across this listicle, "The 5 Most Important Self Evaluation Lists," which inspired me to create my own interpretation. I'd like to focus less on end-of-year achievements and try to keep my list current—more a goals / inspiration / aspiration list:
What about you? Inspired to make a list of your own? Use these? Use the 5? Now's as good a time as any to get started- Aspirations. What are you working on to improve? What can you change? If you can't change it, can you forget about it and move on, accept it, incorporate it somehow?
- Getting better all the time. The things that are working—keep it up! Keep learning, keep reading, keep your eyes open.
- Inspiration. What makes you happy, feeds your soul? Look at art more. Keep in touch with friends, swap ideas—even sharing theories on silly television shows counts ; )
- Plans. Without too much pressure, continue to push yourself towards goals for your art, your family, your life.

I like this. I'm going to wait till I'm in a slightly better frame of mind and try it myself. We have not had a fantastic week here with the all the water and flooding in NJ. At least our firemen are attractive.
I love trading theories on our TV show although it may be silly in a way I think our show is not that silly. It's pretty amazing how well acted it is and how it makes one think about larger issues. Ben alone is a study in good and evil and whether those are relative or fixed terms. I love his character and I love that the show gives some much time to him and the other less than perfect characters. I also like that even the beautiful characters in the cast are complex, thoughtful and flawed.
Oh and about Sayid - total sadness - I just keep saying to myself it's not him but a zombie that took over his body.
There's a lot going on for me too, but I ope to start working on these goals.
I agree about Sayid. He died in that pool. He is totally a zombie. I think Claire is, too. Do you think there is some part of their old humanity left? Somehow I think Claire may have a chance to come back, but I think Sayid is lost, lost lost.
Ben I think, and hope has turned a corner.
I think the show, if it's silly, is silly like life is silly. They may be in "paradise" but life is not exactly easy for them. How many shows have such issues of faith or philosophy to debate? I love it. Thanks so much for pointing me to this show!
