My flossiest resolution for 2009 is to learn origami. It’s taken me a couple of days but I think I’ve finally mastered the crane (practicing at my desk at work has helped), and now I want to learn how to fold some flowers. If I get really good, I want to do origami flowers for my upcoming wedding. It will symbolize how important the day is and how much work it took to get there.

If you get yourself to Louisiana, I’m in.

Watch the six months’ worth of Jeopardy I have recorded and not watched and take the damn contestants’ quiz like I always intend.

My resolutions:
- Read every issue of mental_floss ever printed
- Crochet three baby blankets for friends and relatives who have buns in their ovens
- Watch all of my DVDs based on their inner-connection (for example, I would watch Batman Begins, which stars Christian Bale, and then I’d watch Newsies, which also stars Christian Bale. From there I’d go to Leatherheads because Max Casella is in both)
- See my blogs-columns in print rather than on my Facebook page
- Move to Chicago and take the Devil in the White City tour
- Try to think of better resolutions

My resolution is to memorize all the ingredients in a Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pocket and recite them in under 30 seconds (there are over 70 ingredients).

Completely pointless, but a good party trick none the less.

My resolution is to find an interesting article and send it to someone new every day. It could be from mental floss, but the rule is that it has to be an article that I genuinely think the person would find interesting. I think this is a great resolution because it will expand my circle of reading and will make me think more about the people I spend company with.

2 – Learn something new

3 – Learn to Homebrew – and brew a beer or wine!
