Top 10 things I’ve had on my “to do” list for at least one year.

#10.  Dust, clean, & repaint all baseboards in my house.  Yawn, I know.  But an evil necessity.  (One that will probably be on the list, unfinished, ad infinitum.  Baseboards suck.)

#9.  Follow one bloody recipe from start to finish without getting creative, defiant, or angry.

#8.  Buy all new underwear.

#7.  Finish “Headhunter” by Timothy Findlay.

#6.  Go to the grocery store and buy at least four of those exotic fruits I don’t even know how to eat.  Then figure them out and eat them.

#5.  Break down and watch “Empire Records” (which my friend swears is the BEST film ever produced… but she also walks around saying “Do you choose CAKE or DEATH?” and she returns lipstick after she’s used half of it and she walks through malls doing very LOUD impressions of Tom Jones “It’s not unusual to be loved…”).

#4.  Spend an entire day writing (sans interruptions)… I might have to go to Iceland to pull this one off.

#3.  Wear false eyelashes for absolutely no reason.  And then flutter them all day long.

 <–These   (Not these—>)

#2.  Walk into Tiffany & Co., pretend I can afford the bling and try the biggest, gaudiest, most expensively extravagant rings on. 

All at once. 

And the #1 thing that’s been on my long term “to do” list is to spend an entire day in a Starbucks in a big city and secretly scribble all the conversation bits I hear.  I know it’s weird.  And freakishly voyeuristic.  BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE THE JUICE????  

Juicy Writer Site for today:  http://www.agentquery.com/  This one is a must visit.  It’s probably already in your faves list but sometimes the obvious is a good thing.
