#22 - The Safri Duo
Wow. I found out there are quite a few CD's out by the Safri Duo. But I don't think all of them are available in Canada. They are a Danish group...
So I bought two of their CD's last night. Episode II and Safri Duo 3.0. They are Fantastic!!! I love this music!! I will call my collection complete when I have Safri Duo 3.5.
Check them out!

#23 - This Week: Waiting for Godot
I figured I'd start with a classic and get obscure later.
I liked it a lot. I'm not usually one for absurdist theatre, but this one is really good. It took me longer to read it than I thought (mostly because I read in bed at night and end up falling asleep).
What a great show! Someone needs to put this up around here so I can work on it! If I would have known this show in high school, I would have done Lucky's monologue in my drama class! I found it hard to follow at first, but then I started to read it out loud... What a fantastic ramble! It's a beautiful collection of words that make little to no sense. I loved it!

#81 - Find Garrick
Backstory: Garrick is a friend I had in highschool. We went to summer camp together and got to be really good friends for a few years (nothing romantic). Over the years we've simply lost touch, and I haven't even thought about him until I started making this list.
So...
This actually happened Tuesday (Day 1!).
Adam and I were having drinks at the Act. As usual I was meeting people I'd never laid eyes on before. And I met Garrick's brother! [insert my shocked face here] So we did a little bit of childhood-memory sharing; apparently Garrick is married and has a kid now. Good for him!
His brother said he'd pass on my number. I really hope he calls. I would love to talk to him again and just see what happens.
I think I'm off to a great start!

Getting Ready to Jump!
O.k. so I haven't posted it yet...
Or finished it yet...
I've been busy. Sorry.
But I have set a start date! Tuesday, May 10th!!
(Of course, if theatre has taught me anything, it's that nothing is ever set in stone, especially schedules)
That means I have until February 5, 2008. Which means I'll be doing about 40-odd things February 1-4, 2008. ;)
So I'll finish up the list this weekend, and be on my way to doing that stuff that I've always wanted to do! Woot!
