Things I didn't do in 2010, that I want to do in 2011

(In rough order of likelihood.)

- See a show on Broadway
- go to an actual beach (that is, one where the water and sand were there before humans got involved. Grafton does not count. I can't tell if Taconic does.)
- Go to a couple of non-camping SCA events
- Take voice lessons
- Go to Readercon
- Go to Lunacon
- Visit the family in Michigan (this is less likely than the cons because I'd need to take at least 3 or 4 days off work for it to be worth the drive)
- go to Cedar Point
- Go back to school. (I'm actually looking into a couple of different "University Without Walls" type programs. They seem like a better fit for me than traditional programs.)
- lose some weight
- get a different job
- buy a house (this is much more likely to happen in 2012, but we might have enough saved by late 2011)

I notice these are mostly travel related.

The difference between music and noise

One of the music podcasts I listen too just played me "Summertime" by Kat Edmonson. A really beautiful version of the song, and I ended up putting the whole album on my Amazon wishlist.

Of course, the very next song is a New Agey, "my computer and synthesizer are babbling at each other"... thing (Crystal Under Brattleboro). Pretty, but as background noise, not music.
