To do (or not to do) list

I have given myself a four-day weekend, so in order to make best use of my time, I’m making a to-do list. I’m normally not that organized or proactive, but sometimes I can pretend to be (somewhat). This weekend I need to:

1. Sleep in (mission accomplished there).
2. Clean my apartment. Funky may be good for music, but not for living spaces.
3. Rethink my lesson plans for the next few weeks of my adult school class. This semester, unfortunately, a couple of my students are having a great deal of difficulty keeping up. Hand-coding HTML pages is not an undertaking for people who lack even basic computer skills. I feel bad as I look upon the bored faces of my other students as I stretch Week Two’s lesson plan into a second week, and then a third…
4. Buy a new suit. No man’s wardrobe should be without one, but mine is. You can alter a suit when you drop two inches off your waist, but not six. My little brother is now the proud owner of my over-sized Brooks Brothers cast-off.
5. Visit the Gates exhibit in the city. Although, I will very likely save this one for next week. Tomorrow’s weather will be unpleasantly brisk. For now I will be content to enjoy this high-res satellite photo of Central Park and this one with Tony Danza.
6. Attempt to implement sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) on one of my sites (perhaps here). sIFR is a brilliant standards-compliant hack that embeds nicely typeset, fully selectable Flash-generated text headlines into a web page without sacrificing usability. [found via CSS Vault].
7. Create (or begin) at least one piece of visual art.
8. Do some serious thinking about the next three to four months of my life. Ironically, the day after I made the decision to accelerate my future plans, I found out that one of the three major factors which led to this decision might soon no longer be a factor. Now I have to decide whether to fall back to the previous timeline, or make another life change that will up-end things even more. Stop the world; I want to get off.
