Day 184 progress

5. Get a tattoo: I came up with a design that incorporates a Nietzsche quote in German and written in a high German font.  I haven't set a date to get it done, but my sister and I will probably go together, since she has much more experience with this whole process.

 

22. Build a home studio: I finally got a new office chair.  I got it at Ikea and put it together in about 15 minutes.  It is far superior to the chair I was using before, and looks a lot better too.  I still need to get my art on the walls.

 

25. Listen to every one of my tracks on iTunes: My progress is 1985 tracks of 5903.

 

38. Eat at least one serving of fruit everyday for one month: I made it for 17 days in a row before I messed up and forgot to eat my fruit one day.  And so, I have to start over.

 

39. No fast food for 90 days in a row: I've made it to day 82 of 90.  I don't plan on eating any fast food even when this item is completed.  I'd rather pay a little more, with a longer wait for better quality food.

 

40. Refrain from ingesting alcohol for 90 days: So far I have made it 23 days out of 90.  This item isn't difficult, but I do want the occasional beer or drink now and then.

 

51. Save $1 cash each day for 1001 days: I put aside another $6 for a total of $256.

 

71. Ride the entirety of the DART rail line (COMPLETED): Claudia and I rode the DART rail on 8/24/07.  We started the morning at the Parker Road station and rode the train to the Westmoreland station.  We then took the red line train back to 8th and Corinth, jumped on the blue line, and rode it to the Ledbetter station.  Then we rode the blue line up to Mockingbird station where we got off the train and at lunch at Margarita Ranch.  After that we got back on the blue line and rode out to Downtown Garland.  From that point we rode back to Mockingbird, got back onto the red line and rode it back to the parking lot where we left the car.

It was a pretty fun trip, and it ended up taking a lot longer than I had expected.  The neatest parts were seeing all the area of town that you would never see when traveling by car, and getting to see the gradual transitions from the various sections of town.  I also liked seeing the different people on the trains.  Whether it was people going to work, kids taking the train to school, people going shopping or to the zoo, it was a bit of an education in observing other people going about their daily business.

 

95. Complete 100 expert level Sudoku games without hints: I completed 10 more games over the past few weeks for a total of 60 games.
