Failed to soccer today, and really pissed of Genevieve in the process. It's a bummer, because I was not only looking forward to it, but Labi seemed to be super jazzed that I would ask to play with his guys. Who look like they fucking know from soccer.

Today I cryptically implied that I would get to the root of the Evil Space Genius thing, and it boils down to this; I want to theme my Self Improvement Project for the year, give myself tangible, if strange, goals.


How does this affect my self-improvement project? What kind of goals does it give me?

1: Fitness
Fitness is a fairly unimportant trait for an Evil Space Genius, and yet they never neglect it. It's important to be in decent health so that you can survive whatever experiments you perform on yourself, and probably also as a willpower exercise.

2: Art
Supervillains love art. And literature. I don't, or at least not enough.
I can't help but think that this is a lack of proper exposure. I have the kind of mind that is supposed to appreciate it. And I did, in fact, get a fair amount of enjoyment from the end of my stint with Faulkner. Difficult is my bread and butter, so by the end of the year I'd like to have read books by Melville, Faulkner and Joyce, as well as completing Naporeon's self improvement list. Lastly, I need an instrument. For real. Guitar sounds nice.

3: Financial
Supervillains get rich by lying, cheating or inventing. I don't know if I'm up for any of those. I'll get back to this.

4:Educational
I would like to be able to make a computer do what I want. Learning C++ and Java are my goals for this, to some extent. I can be realistic. I need a backup computer in the short term- maybe tuesday.

I'll need to edit this later. Don't be lazy, Rick.
