Assistance Requested

Once again, I am at a loss for words.

My sister was the one blessed with creativity. I was blessed with.....I have no idea.

What I DO know is that I won't blog in the near future unless I get some ideas for subject matter.

Anyone ? Suggestions please.

Two Thousand and Nine?

I know, I know, I haven't been blogging much lately. I've been trying to turn off my brain and just take life as it comes. To refrain from thinking so much.

I've also been doing quite a bit of work for a friend's company. My most recent project was creating 250 trivia questions about the history of the Oscars. This was a fun task, since, as you may know, I love movies. While compiling this list of questions, it occurred to me how many movies I have never seen, nor even heard of, yet they won Best Picture Oscars.

I decided to create a fun task for myself - I will try to watch all of the Best Pictures from the last 80+ years. I created a list and crossed out those that I have seen, and I barely made a dent with 20.

Most excited to see = Midnight Cowboy
Least excited to see = The Sound of Music

I will give myself 2 years to complete this task - assuming that I can watch one every week or two. The liberry* will be my source of renting. Kudos to my friend Karen who has turned me into a liberry* fan. I borrow books and DVDs all the time now.

I also joined the Running Room's Learn to Run course in early January. So far so good.

Okay that's a lie.
It sucks.

The actual running doesn't suck, but running in sub-arctic temperatures does. Remember this goal that I set for myself? I am hopefully signing up for the Achilles 5K on March 15. Fingers crossed. This run is actually a cool one. You start and finish at the Steamwhistle Brewery and when you cross the finish line, they hand you chili and a beer. Nice.

I've also seen a load of movies that need to be reviewed. Check out my cheesy reviews within the week. They should be all updated by that time. My top 5 of 2008 will be included.

Having a car has given me my patience back. I'm no longer on edge the second I leave my building or my work. I enjoy the walk to the car, and I enjoy the commute, with or without traffic. I'd rather be sitting in traffic, in my own car, than on a bus, smelling someone at the front of the bus when I am sitting at the back. My nose is hound-like.

Annnndddddd, that's about all.

* yes, I know it's actually library. Karen and I prefer liberry since half of the world says it like this....and they don't even know it.
