Motto: The Clock is Ticking Towards Summer

 

 > Usually when I write a column there is an inspiration which gets me going. Today’s muse is a list of “important things to do” that I found in my Sound Film notebook when preparing to study. I think I might have already had a few of these items on a previous top five… but not all of them. So check out my Top 12:

 

 > Okay, here’s an idea I just had for a game. You and an opponent each have a computer (laptop preferably) and are hooked on to the same speed internet connection… you start off at Wikipedia homepage (or anywhere you want really, wikipedia is just the easiest) and you think of a thing or person, say… Gandhi. Then you say “go” and you race to see who can find a picture of whatever your topic is first… without using the keyboard. You have to find a way to get from any article, to Gandhi… then, when one of you wins- you can pick out a new topic and start from the Gandhi page. It might be really stupid, it might be really dumb… but I think it could be fun if you were bored enough.

 > I want to live a more healthy lifestyle. So that, when I’m 28, I’ll still be able to go on American Gladiators and at least make it through the eliminator. Oh, and by the way, I watched American Gladiators yesterday. It’s on NBC on Mondays at 7 or 8 or something… I really recommend it.

 

 > Once again a semester went by where I bought books that “were required” for class and never even cracked them open. Next year, I’m only going to buy books that I’m sure I will use.

 > If you are bored, after reading the top 12 and the quote, go to Wikipedia’s homepage, try to find a picture of Jim Carrey without touching your keyboard. You’ve got 10 Minutes. Go.
