Update

24) Stay off Facebook for a week - DONE (17-24/01/10)
I'm not going to stop there, I plan to have many more Facebook-less weeks coming up.

32) Get a 1st in my degree - In Progress
Well, my January exams are finally over. The exam periods each year seem to get longer and longer but I'm glad I can relax...for 2 days before next semester kicks in. These exams were the toughest so far so I'll be happy if I average a 2:1 over the 4 modules. Got to get my arse into gear next semester though.

49) Finish a large Pizza Hut pizza in one night - DONE (24/01/10)
Didn't eat anything after dinner (that's lunch for any southeners reading) in preperation. Had half a large cheesy bites meaty BBQ and half a large stuffed crust 7 sins pizza. Pretty straightforward but thought I needed to try it at some point. The disappointing bit (other than the medicore meaty BBQ) was the fact I didn't have any leftovers for morning pizza. Gutted.
58) Watch 100 films I haven't seen before - In Progress [3/100]

• Mongol - alright, didn't live up to it's hype.
• Zombieland - really enjoyed this one. On par with Planet Terror methinks.
• The Wicker Man - strange but not bad.

67) Buy 10 scratchcards - In Progress [1/10]
Bought my first ever scratchcard...and won -£2! Oh, wait, it doesn't work like that does it?

96) Get a double chicken burger with cheese from Geminis - Almost
I had to create a new 'Almost' category just because of this. Coming back from Footage, all psyched up for my first visit to Geminis in a long time (too long), I ordered the beastly chicken burger. Good ol' Ali even threw in chips in the burger leaving me to attempt to dislocate my jaw to fit the burger in my mouth. Well, after eating about 3/4, I noticed something terribly wrong. There was...NO CHEESE. NO CHEESE dammit! Looks like I'm making another trip to Geminis at some point. Maybe it's not such a bad thing after all...

Update

20) Finish writing this list - DONE (23/01/10)
Finally...only 11 days since I started writing it. I can see myself making some changes soon (punching a whale seems unlikely). Then again, I could just leave it on and there's a guaranteed £2 to charity. Well, make it £4 since seeing Newcastle Utd in a final seems just as likely as me sparring with the ocean giant.

24) Stay off Facebook for a week - In Progress
Started on the 17th and it's nearly been a week. And it's been...easy. I mean, really easy. In 20 years time, looking back, I don't want to remember the 'good ol' days' by tagging photos, liking statuses and writing on people's walls when they're a mere phone call away. I want to remember going out and living my life. I remember using Facebook in '07 (yes, Facebook has been around for more than a year...) just to keep in touch with relatives. Simple. There was none of this 'rushing back to the laptop to check if my crops have grown' or "Ooh, I'm gonna put this on my status as soon as I get home" bullsh*t.
The ironic thing is that I'll be using Facebook to advertise this blog. Well, I guess that's where everyone will be.

Update

Just an update on what I've done so far:

12) Get fit - In Progress
At least 50 reps and 20 sit-ups a day (to start with).

32) Get a 1st in my degree - In Progress
Unlikely if I don't get some revision done soon. Oh the irony.

65) Cut someone's hair - DONE (13/01/10)
Well, I might have slightly cheated with this one and put it on after I did it...but it was something that i've wanted to do - and Harry let me do it. It was a laugh, and my plan to shave off one half then just leave him almost worked. He now looks like a bowling pin with sideburns. It's true.

76) Get photo taken with 3 famous people - In Progress
Another slight cheat this one, met Bill Bryson at my sister's graduation today (he's the Chancellor of Durham Uni) so thought I would attempt to mingle with the celebs (yes, I know he's not that famous...but it still counts).

77) Make a blog to keep track of this - DONE (15/01/10)
Big tick for that.

So after seeing someone post theirs on Facebook, I decided to start making a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. Needless to say, I was doing revision at the time and this came as a welcome distraction. And 4 days later, the list is still unfinished but I thought I may aswell record my progress in some sort of a blog - I mean, why not? People blog about useless crap everyday. At least mine will be (slightly) productive ;)

Without further ado, my list.

Start date: 12/01/10
End date: 09/10/12

Let me know if you can help me with any.
Cheers!
