Hooray for Spring, List Time

Friday, March 12th, 2010

I’m drinking my last Hazelnut Latte today since next week I will begin my 101 things #93: No Starbucks Coffee for 2 weeks. This is a habit that will be hard to break since there is one that I stop into on my way to work. I’m confident I can do it though. It’s just coffee and there’s free coffee in my office, plus I’ll save some dough. I plan on putting what I would have used for Starbuck in an envelope and putting aside for something special.

Also, I can cross off #86: Say “Yes” to something you normally would say no to. I’m very particular about strangers asking for cigarettes off me and I never do it. I have my reasons, for instance, I really don’t like the idea of giving someone something that I know is bad for them. Yesterday, after work, though, I gave in. I was in a particularly mellow mood walking from the bus to the house and after exchanging ‘good afternoon’ with a passerby. He asked for a cigarette, and to his surprise, I complied. He looked like he had a rough day.

In other news, I’m house hunting. I’ve been very surprised at the amazing response from all of my friends and the help that looks like I’ll be getting. I can’t wait to start looking :)

I’ve had a wonderful week that kicked off with a warm Sunday porch sitting and later an evening at Cocoanut Grove, so I will leave you with a photo from Sunday Night taken by my wonderful friend, Kristen Leep.

Hope you all have a great weekend! I think I’ll be starting #56: Blog everyday for one month soon – Just to warn you ;)

Tue·amuse·day + List

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Pretty proud of myself! I’ve already complete 2 things off my 101 things in 1001 days list:
32. File all of 2009 paperwork (Competed 1/25/2010)
Did this last night listening to a couple of The Who records (which is part of another task for the next 1001 days!)
and
81. Buy a new phone (Completed Friday, January 22nd, 2010)
I bought myself the Motorola Droid, and I love it! Best smart phone for me, since I’m a Google geek :)

Here’s your Tue·amuse·day link:
I’m a big Gorillaz fan and their new album Plastic Beach is coming out this May (U.S.), I believe.
Here’s Murdoc from the Gorillaz twitter page :

Happy Weekend: 101 things in 1001 days

Friday, January 8th, 2010

I decided instead of having actual resolutions this year, I was going to do the 101 things in 1001 days (dayzeroproject.com). I haven’t made the whole list but I’d thought I’d share a few with you. :)

  • Join a punk band
  • Write a song
  • Buy a bass amp
  • Knit a pair of mittens
  • Take black and white photography of NY Graffiti
  • Organize the records alphabetically
  • Bake a cake
  • Go to Chicago
  • Donate monthly to the Uganda Skateboard Union
  • Take one double exposure with my lomo every day for one year
  • Do you have any things you would like to accomplish for 2010?
