Things To Do

[zeroguy]

Learn PHP, Ruby on Rails, Python and C#.

If you must learn the former, at least do it after some of the others, so perhaps you'll be less likely to start making all of your sites in that overblown templating language.

Get my great-grandfather's comic strips translated and online.

Dude, do want. (Well, maybe; I obviously know nothing about them)

Noted.

Dude, do want. (Well, maybe; I obviously know nothing about them)

My great grand-father being the first generation Norwegian-American that he was, the strip is, surprisingly, about Norwegian-Americans and their endeavors to adapt to an American way of life. The humor is parchingly dry for the most part, with the occasional slapstick thrown in, and much of it does not survive well with a literal translation, nor has it weathered the past ninety years terribly well. It's interesting, though.

Some people in town are trying to put together some Norwegian-American heritage museum type deal, and the thought is to publish the strips on their site to drive traffic. There are something like 800 strips. If I roll them out three strips a week, it'll run for over five years in online form.

Things To Do

-CLEAN ROOM - the fact that I am now cleaning it for the, oh, hundredth time in the past 7 months and have technically not finished once in all that time says something about how necessary this is [In Progress]

-Beg Mom to take donations to Goodwill

-Move books I don't want to living room so Mom can take them to the Friends of the Library [Done]

-Gather recyclables and harass Mom to take me to recycling drop-off *grumbles about AZ not being awesome enough to make recycling mandatory*

-Calm myself down after getting pissed that I cannot drive and realizing for the millionth time I am dependent on people who are not me

-Pick out 5 outfits for work and iron them. De-linting them will be done daily, as the dog's hair will just reattach itself if I try now [Done]

-Get angry at dog for making my entire room look like an Ewok or Wookiee if I don't vacuum all day

-Eat [Done]

-Fill the water pitcher w/ filter with water, so I have tasty -possibly through placebo effect- water [Done]

-Quit saying "I'll start in 15 minutes" and playing on Pweb so I can finally start, a whole three and a half hours after I woke up

[Young Val]

Things To Do Before The Move In October:

-Tell family [done]
-Tell friends [done]
-Tell roommate and find someone to take over my room in the apartment [done]

-Pare down my wardrobe and donate whatever I don't keep. If I haven't worn it in a year--IT GOES! [done]
-Shred and dispose of any unnecessary paper. Client manuscripts, any bills or statements from before 2007, etc. [done]
-Sell my bed for best offer. [done]
-Coordinate furniture with David and sell whatever we aren't bringing with us. [done]
-Get rid of all that useless crap I keep in those pretty boxes on my dresser. I know it's in there, even if I can't see it. Empty bottles and bits of ribbon way too small to ever be of any use. Get rid of all the junk! [done]
-Get my security deposit back [done]
-Move into David's studio for those three weeks in September. [done. er... moved in a bit sooner. clearly.]
-Pack. [done]
-Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. [done]

Undoubtedly much more to come!

[buckshot]

I did it ! Saturday am. at daylight. It was a little spookier than I planned it and I feel a bit betrayed as no one ever said a word. At least nothing heard yet.

[Mich]

I must prepare for my Ultimate Classic Disney Musical Cartoons marathon! In preparation I am asking around for copies that friends have, and here is what I have and what I think I'm missing:

- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
√ Pinocchio
- Dumbo
√ Bambi
- Cinderella
- Alice in Wonderland
- Peter Pan
- Lady and the Tramp
- Sleeping Beauty
√ 101 Dalmations
- The Sword in the Stone
√ The Jungle Book
√ Aristocats
- Robin Hood
- The Rescuers
- The Fox and the Hound
- The Black Cauldron
- The Great Mouse Detective
- Oliver & Company
√ The Little Mermaid
- The Rescuers Down Under
√ Beauty and the Beast
√ Aladdin
√ The Lion King
- Pocahontas
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame
- Hercules
- Mulan

Obviously I can't have and watch all of them, but I would at least like Hercules, Mulan, Oliver & Company, The Black Cauldron, Sword in the Stone, and Robin Hood. Maybe Snow White. The rest I've seen often or recently enough. Oh, woe is me.

[Syphon the Sun]

1. Learn to make bread pudding.
2. Learn to make a delicious fried chicken with secret herbs and spices.
3. Find another job. One that pays well, preferably.
4. Edit at least four writing samples to submit to firms in August (one employment law sample, one trademark law sample, one SSI sample, and one corporate law sample).
5. Send résumés and writing samples to at least twenty more firms by August 15th at the latest or before their deadline for next summer's associates if before the 15th.
6. Clean my home office, the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
7. Stop drinking soda. Again.
8. Balance our budget for the next six months.

2. Learn to make a delicious fried chicken with secret herbs and spices.
3. Find another job.

Sounds like a job at KFC is ideal for you.

[Syphon the Sun]

3. Find another job. One that pays well, preferably.

I had an interview last week and felt rather confident coming out of it. The attorney doing my interview had previously worked at the non-profit I'm currently at and was rather impressed with what I've been doing there, lately. So, cross your fingers that I can check this one off, everybody.

4. Edit at least four writing samples to submit to firms in August (one employment law sample, one trademark law sample, one SSI sample, and one corporate law sample).

I really need to work on this.

5. Send résumés and writing samples to at least twenty more firms by August 15th at the latest or before their deadline for next summer's associates if before the 15th.

Of the twenty firms I wanted to contact, I've already got my résumé out to the ten or so that don't require a writing sample up-front. After I buckle down and finish editing them, I'll be good to go.

6. Clean my home office, the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

Everything except my office is c-l-e-a-n.

8. Balance our budget for the next six months.

I'm putting this off until I find out whether or not I get the job I mentioned above. If so, I can actually pay off my student loans from undergrad this year and not pay a dime of interest, which would be stellar.
