Not that I really understand the scoring, but I know how to play!

Goblin Ball - August 2017

Marked 9 goals as done today. Yay

I don't like the new interface for adding notes. That is all

Added 2 Coraline posters and the Atlas of True Names (etymological map of the world)!

Changed a handful of goals today on my 101 in 1001 list to be either more measurable or more in sync with what I want now.

This is approximately 1 book every two months.

This is approximately 1 book every two months.

This one needs to be changed.

Weak. This one needs to be changed.

Josh has mentioned that a trip to Alaska by train is something he's always wanted to do. This will have to wait till the later days of this list, though.

Need to get levels checked and set goal. Discuss with doctor how to achieve this.

Subtasks: pick three recipes and make a shopping list; go shopping.

Gonna count mom's ice cream for her birthday, too. It was a little thing, but it made her happy. :}

Buy four comfortable long skirts that I will wear.
Buy two pairs of comfortable, well-fitting pants.
Buy a nice coat finally.
Buy a custom corset.
Buy some fancy clothes (for gala).
Buy comfortable slip-on shoes. (Not sandals!)

Intention is to extend to 7 days per week and ramp up to 64 oz. Starting at a more achievable level.

Every list needs one gimme. This is mine.

Bought 3 skirts, 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants online today. We'll see how comfy they are when they get here.

Added Annie Wu JLA postcard and Hyperbole & A Half "License all the things!" meme by my nameplate. Half way there!

Went to Liberty Union last night! It's not even officially open yet

Success! Made peanut butter ice cream for mom's birthday tonight. It's smooth and creamy and delicious. I'm sure she'll love it

I have never had that sort of motivation and passion...

My brother's Christmas gifts and my Reddit Secret Santa gifts count, I think. Two down, four to go!

Feeling Good and Holiday Happiness count! Two down, ten to go.

Have ice cream maker. First attempt failed.

Marking this COMPLETE. I've found a good rhythm and feel confident that I can keep it up.

Getting this DONE this week. Day one DOWN.

Wonderful!

One week down. I was on time every single day this week, including the early meeting yesterday. One week to go.

The hope is that if I can do two weeks straight, I can carry those habits out beyond that. So far, so good!

Planning gathering for MLG Providence finals on Sunday, 11/20

Went out to The Drafting Room in Exton with Scott, Rebecca and Justin tonight. Tasty beer and pork schnitzel!! Very lovely time, though there was a lot of background noise because they were very busy, so it was sometimes difficult to hear.

Tried (AND LOVED!!!!) Mort Subite Kriek. Delicious cherry lambic, on tap at The Drafting Room. Lovelovelove.

Even if it was take-out, Kamita in Oaks is worth mention. Tuna tata... Mmmm!

Though the javascript which works on chrome does not work on IE. Not sure how much effort I want to put out figuring out why.

I know it says "domains", but I'm not wholly sure what to do with cleverkiller.com right now. That said, phirefly.com got an update last night! It might not look like much, but it included a content and stylistic update which makes me seriously happy.

Updates mostly go to the LJ site, FYI. Once a week... ish.

Crumby though it may be as far as dates are concerned, I'm counting the day trip to Culpeper! It was some nice quality time :}

Had *delicious* tuna, which Justin cooked, over the weekend. Soooo good.

Shared a Creme Brulee Stout Southern Tier?) with Rebecca on Thursday! It was very tasty, though the aftertaste was a touch too bitter for me.

Had a Five Guys burger for the first time on Monday night. It was okay, but messy. I think I prefer Wayback.

Went to RHPS at the Colonial on Saturday! It was a lot of fun

Finished http://www.radiolab.org/2011/may/31/. It was awesome.

Failing at this.

Double date on Saturday. AND we'll be going out with him this coming Saturday, too.

Need to buy more to keep handy, less to drink immediately. Bought three bottles this week, but only have one left, and I don't think it'll survive long...

This month is Mount Hope's 25% off cases sale, though, so we might buy a full case!

Pretty good this week. I cooked two meals!

Had lunch with Scott last week after not seeing him for over a year!

Having a rough time with some of these. Gonna need to change 'em up a little. Less daily/weekly, more... just starting at all...

Listened to Radiolab, Season 10, Episode 2: http://www.radiolab.org/2011/aug/23/

Haven't cooked any soups, yet, but I've been investigating and collecting recipes!

Session 2 complete!!

Watched this little one today:

Justin did this on Saturday. Put on a whole new knob. Yay!

Had mahi mahi Sunday :}

And this one, too: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_on_our_buggy_moral_code.html

http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_of_our_own_decisions.html

Watched (and loved) http://www.ted.com/talks/devdutt_pattanaik.html

Also watched a cute performance from last year's TEDxPhoenixville.

First session was awesome! Next is scheduled for 9/24. Lots to do between now and then.

Posted my first weekly update to http://phirefly101.livejournal.com/.

Added subtask for this one! Every weekday, I'll review five goals and make subtasks for them. Starting from the top! 1-5 today.

Put http://i.imgur.com/FfDmr.png above my laptop.

Downloaded f.lux which should, in theory, help me comply with my bedtime as my computer screen with be dimmer in the evenings. It's going to take some getting used to...

Further investigation into the system my company uses suggests maybe it just has a meal planner without any ability to maintain a food journal. I'm better at recording than planning. But I contacted my coach. We'll see how it goes...

Just realized that I can do this through my employer, too, and when I do it with them, I can get savings on my health insurance contribution. It just... feels less anonymous that way. But, it also provides me my own personal health coach online. Hrm.

Satisfied with the list. May come back and tweak it as time goes by, but calling it done for now.

Set this up to happen automatically with my bank. Requires no further effort from me unless my financial situation changes.

Put in $20 today, first for my gimme (#101) and also for #66. That one might be premature, but... I set it up to happen automatically, so it doesn't require any additional action from me.

Started an account at myfitnesspal.com. Started logging meals today. This should be interesting...

First session is scheduled for 9/10.

Started sub101 lists on RTM for 'body' goals: get triglyceride levels checked, buy a scale, sign up with food/fitness journal service with mobile app. Completed that last one already, too.

First attempt faltered. I grew dissatisfied with some of my goals, and instead of just setting those aside and fixing them while I kept on with the rest, I put everything on pause... and then didn't start up again.

Finally have the list looking good. Workable, anyway. Second earnest attempt starts Friday (9/2/11). I'm ready this time.

Finally, way late, finished revising. New start date for my list is FRIDAY! (9/2/11)

Need to rework a few of the other items on the list. The due date for this is 6/1/11.
