That's quite a lofty list. You could economize and multitask by combining Nos. 6 and 4. And also Nos. 6, 12 and 19. No. 2 will segue nicely into No. 11 and could possibly contribute to No. 1. And I would totally read your book. Here's to a stellar '09.

Whoops. That second combo should be 5, 12 and 18. Not that you couldn't enjoy tickling a llama with a ukulele.

Here's a better list for you:
1. write the book
2. write your name a million times on a piece of paper so that you can be ready to sign autographs at the book signing party
3. Work with a trainer on your pecks, neck, and deltoids, because those are the muscles you'll see on the book jacket.
4. Get caller ID so that you can filter out the calls from the "little people" like me.
5. Buy a bigger tv. (I think that's what guys like to do, right?)

I think that 4, 5, 6, 12, and 18 could be combined quite well. Dinner AND entertainment, what more could you ask for?

I enjoyed your list, esp. the french tickling part. Good luck with your book! (I need to get started on my own, but how does one begin? I need help. Ahhh ...

Here's another one for your list Augusten: Go on a book signing tour of the west coast -- starting at the Chapter's Book Store at Robson and Howe Street in Vancouver. I will be waiting for you.

Thanks, everyone!
Daryl - thanks for reading, but I'm not Augusten. He's just kindly syndicating my blog on his.
Cheers,
Drew

Why resolve to lose 10-15 pounds and go to Australia to drink and eat steaks in the same year? Sounds counterproductive. Change it to gain 10-15 pounds to make it a happier year.

Eat a llama? Why would you want to do that? They are big and furry and kind creatures. Actually, I'm just bullshitting this. I don't know what kind of animal a llama would be. But please don't eat them. I would be very sad.

Dude, i'm from Oz and I'm a prolific meat eater and beer guzzler, so I'm happy to show you around. (This sounds like a blokey comment, but alas, I'm a chick with an androgynous name).

Hey Drew,
Love the list. My list is not near as exciting but funny enough, it does include a llama, but alas, no ukulele. Now a teaching a llama to play the ukulele would be quite the feat. Keep up the blogging Drew - you're hilarious.

To quote Full Metal Jacket...This is my blog. There are many like it but this one is mine. My blog is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my blog is useless. Without my blog I am useless. I must blog my blog true. I must blog straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must blog him before he blogs me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my blog and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.
