January update
Hello, I started my list on the first of January, I'm 26, from Australia and thought that by giving myself 1001 days to do 101 things I would be able to do something with my life instead of procrastinating about everything. So this is the first of hopefully many monthly progress reports.
Completed goals: 002
In Progress: 011
Failed: 000
Completed:
#21 Write a letter to myself to be opened in 10 years
This was so much harder than I thought it would be.
#69 Attend Sydney Festival first night
Sydney festival or in search of gramophone man
In Progress:
#8 Read 60 books
Book #01 - Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist ****
#10 Cook one new recipe every fortnight
#01 Chicken and vegetable pies
#02 Ricotta and Spinach stuffed gnocchi with butter sage sauce
#11 Finish all the video games I own but have never played (My pile of shame)
Finished: Ghost trick (DS), Bulletstorm (360)
Traded in: Final Fantasy IV (DS)
#29 Keep a my day in six words journal for one year
My month in six words a day
#50 Try 10 new beers

#58 Try 10 new hairstyles
#01 Fishtail braid
#59 Try 20 new desert and cookie recipes
#01 - Brownie mosaic cheesecake
#74 Donate 10,000 grains of rice through freerice.com
1380 grains of rice donated so far
#87 Spring clean my apartment. Throw away everything I don’t use to goodwill. Be brutal
Threw away an embarrassing amount of posters, and also cleaned out my closet donated unwanted clothing to goodwill.
#92 Memorize the phonetic alphabet
I had a chance to use the phonetic (spelling) Alphabet at work this week and totally failed. For starters I was so excited about being able to spell out a code for someone that I forgot the words. I ended up using D for Dog instead of D for Delta. Then I got the hang of things and remembered the rest of the words. Then I hit on another problem. The conversation went something like this.
Me: V for Victor.
Customer: Z?
Me: No V. V for Victor.
Customer Z?
Me: No, V for Victor. Victory. Villain.
Customer: ok whats next.
Me: Zero
After I finish reading out the code customer reads the code back to me and instead of V he used Z.
Me: No it is V. V for Victor.
Customer: Z? Z for Zebra?
Me: No. V. V for Victor. V for Villain (I was so determined to just use the V word from the NATO spelling alphabet that all other V words seemed to slip my mind.)
Customer: Oh. V.
Me: yes. V.
customer continues reading out the code and says oh instead of zero I think about correcting him but have just given up by this point. So never in my life have I thought the words. Victor. Victory. Villain have ever sounded like the word Zebra.
#99 Watch all of the Harry Potter movies
Six movies down. Going to try and watch the Deathly Hallows movies in one sitting. Mini reviews for the first six movies:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Right now I’m just watching for Alan Rickman.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: This seems to have the exact same chain of events as the first movie.
Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban: All of a sudden the good guys are bad the bad guys are good, rats are people and there is a glowing deer.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: David Tennant! The most creepy pervy bathroom ghost. Dragons shackled with the most flimsy of chains. A lot of shouting. Oh yeah and Ron is a douche.
Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix: Poor Snape. Luna I think there is something wrong with your voice. Helena Bonham Carter! No really, poor Snape.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: Draco looks super creepy in this movie. More so than usual. Every time they mention Tom Riddell I think of that horrible anagram from the first movie. Harry and his friends are so damn awkward. Was that wheat field always there? Seriously Draco is such a little bitch. Drugged Harry is the best Harry, he actually has a personality. And all of a sudden it feels like I am watching Lord of the Rings. Oh yeah, and maybe, possibly developing a crush on Snape.
