Just Living -- 101 in 1001

My mission is to complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days. Why? Because wouldn't it be the coolest to actually do a bunch of things I've always wanted but may never get around to doing if I don't write them down and focus? I thought so. I hope you will too. So here's my list and time's ticking away . . .

#36 Crossed off

Originally it read, "See a play at Live Bait." But that never happened and now it likely won't ever happen. However, when amended to simply read, "See a play." I can totally cross it off because I saw the Whooper Spring Players Christmas production and I saw the Garnett & Gold Society's production of The Wizard of Oz in Sackville. In Miramichi though, I'll also be able to see the TNB touring productions at the James M. Hill high school theatre. That might be a lot of fun.

Ch-Ch-Changes

Okay, so I moved and some of my 101 are no longer possible as a result. So I amended the list. SHoot me! Here's where we stand:

9. Become involved in drama, either theatre or film production, on a regular basis. (i.e. like join the film co-op or get into a theatre club, etc.)

This is something I've been thinking on for a long time. It's time to take some action.

37. Create something new to workshop with writers every month.

Being back on the river puts me in contact with my old writing group of peers. And we're going to start meeting again regularly. And I need to get on the ball and start producing some new stuff!!

61. Walk to French Fort Cove for a day of writing.

Originally, this was the hike to Silver Lake. French Fort Cove is much closer to me here than that was in Sackville. Still, it's far enough that I might be daunted. And it would be good for me.

66. Attend at least two of the Miramichi's many summer festivals.

Cuz I'm here and I haven't done any of this stuff. Sometimes you need to be the tourist in your own backyard.

Best Pictures & An Update

I've been slugging away at the Oscar-winning films list. Thoroughly enjoyed You Can't Take It With You. The common consensus is that it's not as good as It's a Wonderful Life, but I don't know. It's more screwball is all, which I kinda like.

Due to my move to Miramichi, I have to rethink some of my 101 things, the ones that were geared toward Sackville in particular. Need to think of new ones, perhaps goals that are geared to Miramichi in particular. But I need to think on that some more, before I edit the list. Soon.
