North, South, East, West

Well...I headed East for a weekend in November and promptly neglected my blog. Now, I'm West of home (in Hawaii) and trying to start it back up again. Aside from lack of internet the next few days, I'm trying to keep up with writing. I'm also trying to fill up my 101 tasks before the end of the year, so that I can start on the list by January 1st. Let's see if all these things come to fruition. ;)

As far as Oahu goes...it's been pretty fun the past day and a half...despite the torrential rains and flash flood warnings. =P I just hope it lets up soon so that I can actually tour the island before we leave...at the very least...I need to visit one of those shrimp trucks I've heard so much about. Oh...and the Honolulu marathon starts in about 5 hours...so I hope the rains let up for the poor souls trying to run over 26 miles.

Alright...I must bid you all adieu before my internet connection runs out...maybe I'll buy more internet time tomorrow. Until next time...aloha. =)

Pretending To Be A Bookworm

Alright...so I'm not doing to well on the daily blogging thing. Can I blame it on being preoccupied with the election?

Next up in my attempt to come up with 101 tasks to do in 1001 days is my list of books to read...

10 Books To Read
The Bible (in chronological order)
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
The Count Of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
North and South by John Jakes
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
Silas Marner by George Eliot
The Sound of Their Music: The Story of Rodgers and Hammerstein by Frederick Nolan
Twelve Ordinary Men by John MacArthur

Again...nothing is set in stone until the list is complete...so if you think there's another book I should crack open and read...let me know.

Tomorrow (I hope)...10 things to make. =)

Time To Butter The Popcorn

Alright...it's been a few days. But, for the record, I wasn't feeling well on Wednesday and Thursday...and spent Thursday through today going to homecoming-related activities. Oh...and in the process I watched USC shut out a third team this season (56-0). This time it was poor Washington University. Hopefully they'll win at least one game before the year it out.

Anyway...after looking at several AFI lists...and my Netflix queue...here is what I came up with for the 10 movies I need to see within a span of 1001 days:

Citizen Kane
Lawrence Of Arabia
Vertigo
A Star Is Born
All That Jazz
Moulin Rouge
2001: A Space Odyssey
Ben-Hur
Grey Gardens
Our Town

Next list of 10...books to read...
