How's this for "Reality" Internet. Follow along as I try to have the most exhilirating Spring Break ever without even leaving Raleigh ... Introducing the Spring Break To-Do List. Each day I will attempt to mark something off the list, and if necessary, write a little bit about the activity. This is an ambitious project, therefore following-through with this will be item numero uno. (Note: The period during which I will be spending my Spring Break outside of Raleigh does not qualify as it will obviously stand on its own merit considering it will be time spent with my better half.)

The Spring Break To-Do List

• Follow through with overly-ambitious, totally pointless weblog gimmick


• Wash car (again), but this time, don't wimp out on cleaning the inside - people are starting to notice the smell. Ok, not starting, they already did. I'm starting to notice the smell!


• Catch up on emails. (Keep names private to protect the innocent. You know who they are)


• Send long overdue package to someone far away. (No, not you. Yes, you)


• Finish project for former boss of friend (or is it boss of former friend?). Negotiate for a yacht, settle for long-sought-after "extra" monitor money


• Consider using any extra money earned during break to pay off credit cards instead of buying extraneous materials which only breed laziness and dorkdom


• Continue reading The Purpose Driven Life


• Read at least 1 novel, try to fit in 2. Knock out the one by that novelist from North Carolina. Don't share author's name to preserve manhood.


• ... If name slips, retort with "well this was his experimental 'suspense, thriller' novel". Don't mention the titles of the other books you've read by him or movies you seen that go along with aforementioned books


• Build and implement RSS feed system into ScribNotes so David will "shut up" :)


• Give girlfriend a kiss.


• Continue thesis literature review.


• Figure out a way to get an M.S. degree in the IE program without doing a thesis.


• Memorize verses


• Find out about getting a watch battery. Don't make the mistake of setting up an appointment with watch maker (little joke, think about it)


• ... lobby for pity chuckle from audience


• Make one wild and crazy but relatively inexpensive purchase just for kicks


• Cook steak on the grill and give them to Sammy and Elby (family dogs). Exclude spoiled Sally because she's fat.


• Make self stronger than at the writing of this


• Simulation project proposal


• Pseudo redesign of a certain website


• (Added 03/05) Go eat barbecue with former roommate (and current ones) and wait for those wonderful words; "Y'all college students."


• Add to list as needed

Feel free to make predictions each day as to what I'll do, what I won't do, whatever. Play along, it will be fun. Well it will be for me anyway.
