20. fly a kite Today, we headed down to the park today with two kites. One is a very cheap kite reminiscent of the one I remember from when I flew my first kite (and wound up chasing after in an overgrown field) and required a little tweaking before it would fly and a inexpensive [...]
Without further ado (considering this is already 5 days late :P) I present my third and final attempt at … 101 in 1001 The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days. The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or [...]
Okay the plan is to restart the 101 in 1001 list on Thursday, so I’ve been working on a revamp of the list. Sadly, this has ended up in more items being removed than added – it would be nice to have an abundance of tasks to pick and choose from. So here is the [...]
It’s time I had a rethink about my 101 in 1001 list. It’s due to end in just over a year and I’m not confident that I a) could complete all the tasks on it and b) that I want to complete all of them. That being said, I do have an update to make [...]
It’s a good thing I decided to redo the 101 in 1001 else I wouldn’t have discovered there’s a 26 Things project happening this month. It’s a basic premise – given a list of 26 words/phrases take a photo that illustrates that word. The list is: neighbour unfamiliar mess information change everything company twin warning [...]
As mentioned earlier, I’m redoing 101 in 1001 starting today. This time round I’ve made the tasks less rigid so in the event of total craziness they’re still accomplishable and I’ve also added in the dreaded “fill this in later” tasks as I now understand how useful they can be. Imagine waiting almost 3 years [...]
Hi everyone I’ve been avoiding posting anything recently as I wanted to make today special since it’s the first day of the calendar year and a wonderful time to start afresh. Over the past few weeks I’ve been slowly mapping out my goals for 2009 and I decided to restart my 101 in 1001 as [...]
Hi there, November brings in the beginning of the 10th NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which is an event celebrated by the feverish pounding of keys around the world. From a naming perspective, the opposite of the World Series I guess. Don’t worry though, whilst doing NaNoWriMo is on my 101in1001 list, I haven’t given [...]
So I’m in the midst of catching up with my reading. Since I last reported back, I’ve read: Wyrd Sisters – Terry Pratchett Pyramids – Terry Pratchett Deadly Decisions – Kathy Reichs Fatal Voyage – Kathy Reichs Grave Secrets – Kathy Reichs Bare Bones – Kathy Reichs Can you tell I rediscovered Kathy Reichs work? [...]
Well I think we can successfully say that I’m not doing great at this but on the other hand with over 900 days to go I’m not doing as badly as I thought. I come across as being really negative in assessing the tasks below but I’m not that cut up about it – just [...]
