You know, I just can’t seem to get things done in a timely fashion. Just to kick my bum into gear, I am going to write up the things that I have been knocking off of my 101 list, starting with these things:
Learn to tango.
Learn to make excellent risotto.
Find a hat that looks good on me.
Visit a friend who is far away.
Eat a mangosteen.
Grant a wish.
Write my Senator.
Write my Congressman.
Find a rockin’ pair of glasses.
Go a week without wearing make-up.
Storm out of a room, dramatically.
Get to 400 blog entries.
Learn the Presidents, Vice Presidents, and a few bizarre facts about each.
Have a conversation with a stranger.
Spend an entire day in my pajamas.
Read 5 books that I own, but haven’t read.
Finish 5 books that I have started.
Watch five movies that I pretend I’ve already seen.
While some aren’t, most of them are completed. And bitches, I’ve got the photographic evidence to prove it! That is, on some of them. So by the end of next week, I will have completed my list of things on another list that I am to document.
I am asking this in a completely non-disparaging way: What are the teabaggers protesting?
I have been seeing pictures on the news with gatherings of hundreds of people. Some were calling for revolution while others secession, all carrying signs targeting the President and his administration. Were they expecting that all of the economic troubles that began years ago to disappear within the first 86 days of the new Presidency? Or maybe it has something to do with the unregulated bailout money doled out under Bush.
Let me start off by saying that I am not what you would call an early adopter. I am not one to look for all the bleeding edge apps, and I could care less if I get the first post on the reviews. With that said, here is a list of the apps that I am using constantly. By the way, they are all still free.
Yeah. I know. Everyone and their mom is griping about the new facebook layout. Add mine to the pile.
Just like everyone, I am annoyed by the twitter-like feed. It is a completely valid complaint. Figure this: when you send out a tweet, you do your thing and are on your way. I can see what you’re up to, maybe a link to a blog entry, or even a picture. Sure, you might send a couple of @messages, but as a follower I can easily block that out. That’s that. No more.
I was in class this evening and decided that I would take notes with my beautiful green pen. During our break, I went grab a couple of handouts from the teacher’s desk. When I returned, my pen was gone. I looked everywhere. My bags (three), my notebooks (two) my pockets (eight, it was an overall day), all turned up sans green pen. Needless to say, I was devastated.
Fast forward to now. I was getting ready for bed when I discovered my pen safely nestled in my ponytail. I’m a genius. A genius with a green pen.
While I love making lists, it is on rare occasion that I put them to use. Shopping lists end up in the wrong bag, to do lists end up on the first page of unused Moleskines, and my 101 list seems to be going nowhere.
On New Years Day (okay, yesterday), I looked over to see if there were any that I might check off. Happily, there was one:
