No Things achieved yesterday or today, apart from watching Chariots of Fire and North by Northwest and painting my toenails bright pink. I'll get back on the wagon and report back tomorrow.

Also, I really like this gentleman friend of mine. Did I mention him ever? He's just a big ball of squeezable charm and humor. I like riding on bikes with him.

I'm so tired I can't even type to you about Thing Ten. It's food again, but it has associated adventures. And I could also share the recipe. But it's all I'm going to do to be able to finish this sentence: lemon chicken.

Maybe this sounds lame, but I feel it was an accomplishment. Today my Thing goal was to make peace with my roommate ( Read more... )

I've been working on this for a little bit, but put in most of the work this evening. It's for a wedding announcement I'm designing - the girl wanted a damask pattern. I could have copied one, but I wanted the challenge of creating my own. I did copy some elements from two other patterns but it was a lot more than just auto-trace - plus I drew a ( Read more... )

My 30th birthday is in two weeks. I've been trying to think of ideas for a party, and have almost put it together and sent out invitations like 3 times, but I keep getting self conscious about my ideas so then I don't. And I just now thought of having a Totoro themed party and was about to organize it again, but I realized what the weird thing is: ( Read more... )

I didn't do any great meaningful Things today, though I did go to the gym and then afterwards cooked broccoli and tomatoes ( Read more... )

Today my thing is reading in Spanish. Spanish is something I learned once but, out of neglect, have forgotten much of. I can still understand it pretty well but I have a hard time saying things.

Now, being the person who studies how to study languages, I will be the first one to tell myself that reading in Spanish will not help you speak in Spanish ( Read more... )

I'm sorry thing five is food again. Abby told me that all I ever write about on facebook is food and I was like "it is not." But maybe it is.

I did a lot of things today, but the only new, non-routine thing was making pudding.

I've made pudding like 4 times in the past two months. But I've never been satisfied. First time, I found a recipe for a ( Read more... )

Today I was all "work! job!" and then I was all "come home and cook!" and then Hot Sauce and I went and had dinner with my Chinese homegirls and then we went to campus and checked out a movie viewing room with a giant TV with our friend Charlie (they have movie viewing rooms to check out?) and we watched Tokyo Godfathers which was totally fantastic ( Read more... )

Today I actually sat down and started a thing. A thing unrelated to anything I was supposed to do for school or work or to nourish myself.

Only thing is, most of my projects like that are not things that I will finish in one day. Can this keep counting on other days?

Today I started an illustration I want to do - 16 by 20 to start with but I'd love ( Read more... )
