I'm doing 34 things
I also produced, starred in, and edited it.
This was my first film in a line of what I hope is many. It’s not Tarantino quality, obviously, but we must all make small steps.

I’ve discovered that having this as a goal is as useful as having “learn to be happy” on a list. There is no definitive point you’ll pass where you can see progress and know that you’re done. Instead, it’s a series of skills that you learn along the way.
As of this post, I’ve successfully cooked a score of Chinese dishes, and I’ve even gotten to the point where I can change the recipe around to suit myself. If that isn’t learning, I don’t know what is.
When I’m not knitting, I’ve been trying to read more often. It’s been hard, because I get caught up in other things. Or everything all at once. I’m passionate about everything at their own times. Anyway, I’ve finished a few, some mind candy, and a few good ones. Cat’s Cradle: excellent book. There was some trashy romance, the name of which I can’t remember. And I read Twilight. God. Somebody slap me now.
Unfortunately I’ve been on a book-buying binge lately. I’ve bought… many in the past month. MUST STOP!
