I've been reading a lot lately, and it occured to me that I should set some sort of quota for myself. Billy Merritt mentioned in class the other day that he used to try to watch a movie a day. He said it's always good to have an arsenal of stories in your head to use in improv scenes. I thought that was a good idea. I always watch several movies a week anyway, so I thought it'd be a cake walk.
To complicate matters, I've decided to also try to read one play a week, one short story a week and one poem a day. Perhaps I'll be able to tackle one short story a day, but I'm giving myself some leeway here.
I thought it would be an interesting undertaking. So I've made February my Culturalizin' Month*.
As my birthday is the 28th, it'll give me something worthwhile to celebrate (rather than one more year under my loosening belt).
And as my brother observed, "Way to pick the shortest month, jackass!"
*(I am not sure whether my movie picks will necessarily fall under the category of "cultural", but I'll make an effort)
