#292 – 100 Days Without Fast Food

So, I added a few more things to my list, most notably#292, which is to go 100 days without eating any fast food. I’m by no means addicted to it or anything, and I don’t eat it that regularly or anything, but I would like to eliminate it from my diet pretty much completely, starting with 100 days banishment from my diet. I’m counting today as Day #1, so this will continue until April 20th, 2008. Sweet coincidence that’s near my final days of school in Lethbridge!

Now, I consider fast food establishments where you do not get seated. So McDonalds, Arby’s, DQ, Burger King, Subway, etc. I can still go to a sit down restaurant on my anniversary or out to dinner with friends or whatever, so long as it is not fast food.

I will miss A&W Onion rings the most, I do think… and possibly Subway because mmmm

Relearn French – Quick Hit

I added a new 2008 resolution, which is to relearn French.

My goal is to listen to one French podcast per day, either simply podcasts in French or podcasts that aim to teach French.

My favourites so far?

Learn French by Podcast
French for Beginners Podcasts

I will also be using some of the old textbooks and workbooks I’ve accumulated.

Bon soir mes amies!

The Boring Life I Yearn to Avoid

These past few days have been nothing short of mind-numbingly boring. It is the only term to put to how I have felt. Thursday I went to my classes. My Medieval Violence looks to be good, but I ended up dropped the British History due to the fact I already took it at the University of Calgary. I have taken up a Anthropology of Gender course, which Adam kindly agreed to take with me. The only problem is that I lack the pre-requesites for the class and am still awaiting a reply to the email I sent her over a day ago. I have yet to take my History of Women course, which I know I will love, and my history of Napoleonic France.

Other than that, I have had nothing to do at all. I walked to Safeway yesterday and bought some more yams (see inset – yes I took a picture of the yams I just bought…). I cooked with yams for the first time on Thursday. Made a yam casserole of sorts (brown sugar, milk, honey, mashed with boiled yams and baked with pecans on top), and it was really good. I actually went to Safeway for margarine and cheese, but decided yams were worth buying more of.

Adam came over yesterday as well, for a little. We watched Home and Garden Television. We were planning on going to a movie, but couldn’t find anything worth going to see, sadly. We debated for a while, but soon the smooth house-hunting skills of Kristie and Phil on Relocation, Relocation took over, and we were laying around watching that. Such is life. He went home, and I went to bed, but woke up around 1am feeling naseous, dizzy, faint-y, and, oh lucky me, was hallucinating. So I gave Adam a ring and he came over and spent the night with me to make sure I didn’t die or anything drastic. I kept hallucinating about Dani Gore, and only thing morning did I find out who she was with the help of google. What a weird thing to hallucinate about. Jeepers.

Oh, I did start working on my passport application yesterday, which is the beginnings of #60 on The List and part of my 2008 Resolutions. I will hopefully be able to throw that in the mail by the end of this week so I can get on to travelling!

Surprise Bum Seckz!

So, I get to cross yet another thing off of my list tomorrow. My friend Keith surprised me with two tickets to the Calgary Sex Show, so I’m going to go with him and have a fabulous time! I love surprises, and sex, and my list. It’s a good combination.

Number 65

So tonight I went to work on number 65 – organize and produce the Vagina Monologues. We held out first round of auditions here in Lethbridge. It went alright, pretty low turnout though. Hopefully we’ll get more people in the next couple days. This one is going to take a few months, but it feels good to get another one started!

On another note, does anyone have any suggestions for things to add to my list? I’m not adding books to it or general unmeasurable things like “discover yourself”. I need concrete measurable tasks!
