I was talking about my 101 in 1001 List the other day and I reminded myself that I�d better get moving on it. I forget that I have it sometimes, which is not really the point of it. I believe it�s supposed to motivate me, not continually remind me of my laziness. (I still haven�t painted my fingernails yet? How hard is that? Eh, I�ll do it later.) See? This is how my mind works. Lazy, lazy, lazy. But then again, I look over the list and realize that I have crossed off 28 things since I started on January 1st, which really isn�t that bad at all. I also have quite a few that are in progress or that I should be doing soon. Then there are the ones that may still be on there when my 1001th day hits, mocking and laughing at me. Here�s a list of where some of them fall:
11. Write and produce another play - All written and currently in rehearsals, to be performed on August 27th. If you�re local, give me a shout and I�ll give you the details.
14. Watch all of my unopened DVDs - Ha! Yeah, right. Instead of watching, I keep adding to them. Stop the madness! But then again, how can I stop when all of these TV shows keep being released?
15. Go back to Vegas - In talks for a possible April trip. Vegas, you have been warned.
39. Win more than $40 playing blackjack at a casino - I�ll be trying my luck at the tables on August 12th!
46. Use my Ronald McDonald drinking glasses which are currently sitting in a box, collecting dust in the basement - They should be in the rotation in December or January, depending on when I complete #57�.
57. Move out - Right now it looks to be some time around December or January, depending on how long it takes to find a condo that I like. We�ll see!
49. See 30 Seconds to Mars in concert and get up front to drool over Jared Leto - August 2nd. General Admission. Outta my way.
51. Attend a taping of SNL - I can�t even watch it now, why would I want to see the train wreck in person. This one did have the condition of �only if the show gets better,� which so far, not.
54. Sing in a piano bar to live out my lounge singer fantasy - This fantasy seems like it may remain in my head. Damn you, Fabulous Baker Boys! Stop giving me ideas!
61. Go to another midnight movie at the Avon Cinema - The next time they have a midnight showing of Office Space I am THERE.
84. Go to England - Excuse me while I choke on my lofty ambitions. CheeriNo!
90. Do 35 Grand in the Sand again - This is that radio contest that I participated in last year, digging in the deep, wet sand with 94 other morons and ending up with $1250 worth of prizes. Shovels go up for grabs on Friday for the dig on August 6th. Oh, I am SO there. (No more mountain bikes!)
92. Write a song about Green Eggs & Ham and incorporate it into a play - One of the bad auditions for my upcoming Ocean State Idol play will be singing this little ditty.
95. Play The Sims without using the money cheat - I haven�t looked up any cheats for my new PS2 Urbz in the City, so I�m going to attempt it.
96. Go shopping at Natick Mall - Soon. Before the summer is out!
97. Draw - I�ll be making huge signs and logos for my play!
So that�s where I�m at with some of those things � I�m getting there. I may not be getting to England anytime soon, but I�m getting there.

I forgot that Pimp asked me for a review of the new Harry Potter book. I answered him in the comments section of my Harry entry, but I just figured I�d give it the official thumbs up here. It�s pretty much a set up for the next book, which I want right NOW. My one complaint? Not enough Neville!
In other recommendations � run, do not walk to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp is fantastic, Freddie Highmore is adorable, Tim Burton is still a genius, and the movie just rocks. My one complaint? Not enough Augustus Gloop.
