Ah Dan, your invitation was merely postponed, not forgotten. Making public such lists is something I’m very much into. Here goes.
This summer, I want to:
- Run an average of 1 mile each day (so far so good with 30 miles run in the month of June);
- Write at least the beginnings of 2 short stories;
- Record the CD that’s been at the back of my mind for the last 4 years (and that I just thought of a name for);
- Figure out how to use Logic Express;
- Buy a video camera and start those projects;
- Help my girlfriend learn the cello;
- Keep my house clean;
- Read at least 5 novels;
- Keep up on my reading of comics (Daredevil, Y: The Last Man, Fell, Powers, Astonishing X-Men, Girls, DMZ, etc.);
- Watch more movies, at home and in the theaters;
- Put in new kitchen cabinets and countertops, along with a new refrigerator (all already selected, I just have to get down to Home Depot to schedule it);
- Cure the raging headache that will develop while reaching the previous goal;
- Write that post about grades and what I will/will not do next year;
- Figure out semester 2 of English 4;
- Refine my blogging assignment;
- Have a margarita party with my girlfriend;
- Cook for my neighbors who graciously allow my cat over to their place every time I’m gone;
- Have a BBQ for my friends from work — with lots of beer;
- Get together with my friends at least once a week;
- Juggle 5 balls for at least 1 minute nonstop;
- Write at least 5 posts each month;
- Review Japanese grammar and vocabulary;
- Design that Web site for that organization;
- Create complete unit plan handouts and calendars for the first two units in English 3 and 4 by the beginning of the school year;
I’m sure there’s more I want to and will do, but those are the bigs on my list at the moment. What are your plans?
