Day one –
(1) Piano – Well, that was slightly depressing – something I could fly through at age 10 I am now lurching along “playing”. I guess that’s the point of this though. All good. Maybe I’ll be able to string more than three notes together tomorrow.

(2) Mandarin – Put in those dang Rosetta Stone CDs. I can hear the difference between boy and girl and airplane and car but not sure if this will enable me to order a coffee next time I’m in Beijing.

(3) Advance a business idea – one of the scariest things I’ve found is doing research on competition for ideas that I come up with/fall in love with. I’ve often allowed that to stop me. I did it today though despite the pain/fear.

(4) Advance a creative idea – I searched for a domain name for my apologies project. Also started the Drk2lt(Dark to Light) blog/twitter project. Go me!

(5) Find the love of my life – Competed an online chemistry test which somehow came up with me being a person of limited self control which is completely the opposite of who I am. (HEre is what is said: “ow self-control may diminish your effectiveness at work. Acting too relaxed can make it difficult for you to focus on projects that require organized sequences of steps or stages. Thus, your ability to accomplish may be inconsistent. Indeed, it’s possible that you might be criticized periodically for being unreliable or unable to “stay within the lines.” Nonetheless, you may still experience many short-lived pleasures and never be thought of as boring.”) Hmmm. Wonder what kind of guys I hear from (or not hear from) as a result…
