Okay, So This Is A Bit Of A Cheat, But...

...that's how you do a "one-post-a-day month" without even trying.

Anyway, I've been seeing this "101 Things In 1001 Days" thing at The Mission101 LiveJournal Community, and it kinda looks like a good idea, a far better idea than your usual crappy New Year's Resolutions (which I rarely, if ever, manage to keep)... however I don't think I can come up with 101 objectives by tomorrow. I can try and make a start on it, with a view to officially kicking off on it before February 1st, but tomorrow I have my "first art of the year" to prepare - which I complete and sign when the bells ring, as I've done since I don't know when. Pity that, quite often, it's the only art I manage to produce all year. Hmmm, maybe there's one thing to do already.

I may post again later, to "make it official". If I can come up with a decent number of objectives by midnight - say 25 meaningful things I can genuinely achieve - I will actually go ahead with it. Yeah, that would be fun, especially when my world might be about to change substantially in the next six to twelve months, cutting some old ties...

And That Just About Wraps Things Up...

Headline News... Yes! Sir Patrick Stewart! And about time too! You can say the same about Francis Rossi (OBE) and Rick Parfitt (OBE) of Status Quo, as well! Shame about Joanna Lumley, who should have been recognised for her work fighting for the rights of Gurkha soldiers - and I'm sure there are many working for charity, or other noble causes that will be viewed as criminal oversights by some, but come on, do we really have to go through the "outrage" EVERY year? There are a whole bunch of scientists and academics on the list, who're hardly "celebrities" - and let's be totally honest; there are people doing "charity work" who should be most thankful they still have jobs...

Meanwhile... Okay, I'm going for it - 101 Things In 1001 Days. I currently have a rough list of 33, and I'll try to have a finalised first 50 list posted in the next week or so, by which time I will have started several of my objectives. Stay tuned for the latest news!

Oh, and Happy New Year, dear reader. Have a good one, get home safe and well, don't be an idiot...
