after graduation

• knock a few more things off the to-write list
  
• THAT RIDICULOUS FANFIC that wants to be a queerfeminist novel when it grows up
  
• turn Alternity into ebooks
  
• read ALL OF ALTERNITY
  
• get the to-read list in the e-reader back below 50 (I KEEP BUYING BOOKS this is the problem) [as of July, I've got it from "over 100" to "back below 75"...] [in July I then acquired another 25, whoops, but as of mid-August it is down to 54 & I am taking a break to read some dead-tree books on loan from CK] Achieved, as of September 7th! (Actually I have 50 pages of novella left, but shhh.)
  
• Edinburghhhhh
  
• go and infest noldo for a couple of weeks
  
• head down to Cornwall for a week or two to visit grandparental

• sort out coherent feedback to the people waiting on feedback on their writing from me (JO-from-DW/LJ, JO-from-FB, R, possibly the other R)
  
• my various half-started patches, many of which are effort-minor so REALLY won't take long once I've got to grips with git (I've acquired more, of course!)
  
• feeds documentation & user-facing frontend for DW
  
• maybe languages-in-profiles for DW, if I'm feeling REALLY enthusiastic
  
• THE COOKBOOK
  
• essays/fic for people from Lashings fundraiser

What else should I be putting on this list, my lovelies?
