021: Learn Esperanto
I got my first lesson from Esperanto USA today. I have to do the lesson and then mail it out, but with any luck I’ll get a chance to do that tomorrow between practicals. Along with reading the Torah as I blanked on it until today. Whoops. There’s a local Esperanto group that I’ve joined, it seems pretty active so I may get a chance to hang out with some other speakers. I may also join the official USA group, but it’ll have to wait until there’s spare cash.

095: Send 101 postcards on Postcrossing
I sent out the first five today so there’s only 96 to go. I can’t get another five addresses until those five are cleared on the site meaning I probably won’t have them for another week or so. I sent one to Germany, one to the Netherlands, one to Japan, one to Portugal, and one to Finland. Two of those were bear postcards and three were DC ones. I almost sent all of them bear cards, but then I realised that it wouldn’t be the best idea to send a postcard of the WWII memorial to people in Germany and Japan.

014: Get a job (preferably at Red Door)
I had an interview for an assistant position (at Red Door) on the 15th.  I think it went well.  I hope it went well.  The woman I talked to was meant to call on the 16th, but it was inauguration weekend so they were probably packed.  I REALLY want this job.  Which leads into…
015: Decide on if I want to specialise in cutting or colouring or not specialise at all
Red Door requires their assistants to specialise in one or the other and I’ve still not decided. I ended up leaning towards colour during the interview, but saying that I’m open to doing either one.
069: Keep up with the weekly Torah portions
I found my Tanakh! It was buried under month’s worth of mail and things that have fallen off the end of the bed. Now it’s on the bookcase where it belongs and I’m going to start taking it to school to study during my breaks.
085: Find 10 gay films I can watch for more than just the hot guys and porn
This has actually been relatively easy. Trick is adorable, I love Edge of Seventeen, Touch of Pink is awesome, Breakfast with Scot is a great gay family film, and though Ma Vie En Rose isn’t technically gay, it’s still in the same general category and absolutely adorable. So that’s 05/10 already.
086: Buy said films on DVD
This has been harder. I’ve got Trick, Edge of Seventeen, Touch of Pink, and Ma Vie En Rose, but I don’t know that Breakfast with Scot has even been released. So 04/10.
095: Send 101 postcards on Postcrossing
I’ve got five written and addressed, I just need to buy stamps. I’ve been needing to buy stamps for nearly three weeks. Whoops…

Date: 01 January 2009
Progress: 001/101

Summary: It actually took me a week or so to finish the bloody thing so I’m feeling rather accomplished.  I’ve got a few on there that have been on previous 101 lists, but were never finished.  Mostly because my life has changed so much in the last two years that every list I started became completely obsolete within a few months.  Now I’m in a slightly more stable place so hopefully this one will last.

There will end up being a scrapbook page of just the list, likely done in a similar format to the current blog layout.  No picture just because…it’s a list, what exactly can I do with it?
