As noted elseweb, Happy The Internet Gets Stupid day! If you're still planning an April Fools gag, first consult this handy reference guide.

... cripes, it's been six months since I last poked at my 101 in 1001 list. Partly that's because I slowed down something fierce after about mid-October. Partly it's because I've plucked most of the low-hanging fruit. I dunno. It's still a useful referent / reinforcement, long as I remember to check in with it every so often.



101 in 1001 update (the list)

Completed:
2) [Travel outside the US] again, somewhere else. 2013-02-22, Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico
71) Dispose of unwanted games. 2013-10-07. Enough are gone that I'm willing to call this a win.
79) Convert my 401(k) into something that's useful in Canada. Deemed unnecessary 2013-12-08. Per Chris the accountant, this cannot really be done without taking the tax hit and penalty for early withdrawal. If and when we buy a place I'll liquidate it for a down payment; until then it can sit and earn, and pay out in 25-30 years.
94) Sort out my problems with Scrivener's RTF export/compile. Seems to have fixed itself; no idea what it was doing but it's stopped doing it now.

In progress:

24) See ten movies at the Vancouver International Film Festival. (5/10) 2013-10-10/11
31) Submit 100 stories to paying markets. (6/100)
34) Expand, revise, & submit "In the City of Memory." Out for what's likely the last round of feedback. Edits in May, and then submitting!
36) Write, revise, & submit story #4. Blood-mages. Moving forward, but still in progress.
45) Play an in-person game of Ogre. My copy has arrived!
47) Play or purge all the unplayed boardgames in my collection, except for Italia. (12/13) Sold TZAAR at auction, traded Di Renjie and Magna Grecia.
57) Go running or swimming three times a week for three months. 'Consecutive.' 1/3
70) Dispose of unwanted comics. 100 Bullets gone in a trade.
78) Stay under budget on discretionary purchases for six months. 'Consecutive.' 2/6
80) Get some financial advice from a financial advisor. Had a preliminary visit with someone at VanCity.
82) Determine whether it makes any sense at all to a) buy a place or b) move. Moving, yes. Buying, maybe but probably not.
85) Sort out my relationship to my parents, sister, & niephlings. I... may have gotten this taken care of? In my own head at least?
92) Reread the oeuvre of John M. Ford. (3/13) Read a pirated ebook of The Last Hot Time.

Abandoned:
43) Play each of the GIPF games at least once. (0/7) GIPF is an awesome idea that I will never have time and opportunity for. Sold the games at auction.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
