101 update
101 update
Recently my list was rediscovered here on PNN by suzannethemom and I remembered my list. To be honest with all that's been going on the past few months I've forgotten about the things on it, although I haven't forgotten it existed. So I thought I'd go ahead and go over the list again and see what's been accomplished since last I looked.
18) Do a sketch I like with Copic markers (no pencil) - I actually did one one night when I was bored...and then we moved and it got packed before I got the chance to scan or photograph it. But I actually did do one.
23) Edit an image really well in GIMP or Photofiltre - I sort of did this one, depending on your definition of editing. I altered some photos in Photofiltre on a whim, but they're different than I was thinking for this Thing To Do. I still think I did pretty good...
38) Post comments on 5 blogs I've never commented on before - I have already put one on there called hole in my pocket, but recently I've been exploring PNN more and are following more people. (That's how I got 4 comment cups in like a month. Mugs, sorry. I meant comment mugs.)
41) Reply to the emails in my inboxes so that they're both empty - this has only somewhat happened, but when it did it felt good. One day I spent hours just opening and replying to emails, and almost got one of my inboxes empty. It wasn't quite there, but it was a heck of a lot better than it was and it felt GOOD. Since then both of me boxes have gotten scarily full, but still for that one evening I was doing good. So I guess this doesn't count as being fulfilled yet but oh well.
51) Read (at least) 10 books per year - I'm not at the end of the 1001 days, but for 2009 I've gotten over 10 books read. For me, graphic novels count.
79) Photograph some signs for fun - I haven't taken any photos like I was thinking when I first wrote the list, and I probably won't. But they have turned up in some of my pictures and they were either the focus of the picture or part of the focus, and that counts. :)
80) Watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua - I did! It was cute! I know it's a kid's movie and critics didn't like it or whatever, but you should know that I like kiddy things and animated movies and that's just the kind of person I am.
88) Take the bus - When we had to get a tire, the car was at a car-place far from where we were, and luckily we were able to catch the bus. I think it's some kind of bonus that we took it on my birthday (I for some reason have developed a strong liking for public transit of all kinds. Not really because it's greener than cars, but for other reasons. I don't know what they are.)
92) Ride on a swing - I was swing deprived as a kid. My elementary school refused to have swings because they thought kids would run in front of them and get kicked over. Yeah the kids there were stupid but not THAT stupid. I mean, they had hang gliders for pete's sake. And tanbark. And that boring circle-swirly thing. All those can get kids killed too. Anyway, we recently went to the park for a bit and I was able to swingy swingy swingy. :D
95) Try a new flavor of Ben & Jerry's - I'm not sure when I tried Half Baked, but it might have been after I started this list. Actually, I think it was. Yay! (Btw, it's a good flavor.)
So yeah...that's how I'm doing so far. :P
