Today’s task was to “boycott something today.” I chose two things: chopsticks and boycotts themselves. Theoretically, that should cancel today’s task but what would be the fun? Boycotting chapsticks was unfortunate as I just bought sushi for dinner without reading today’s task first. How am I going to eat it like white civilized people emulating the Japanese? But then I…
Today’s task was “to expand my vocabulary.” I chose to use the alphabet for this and then look up random words starting with the letters. I won’t burden you with the whole alphabet but some gems instead. The selection was to randomly put my finger while my eyes were shut on the dictionary: D- Duenna: elderly woman chaperone (since I…
Today’s task was to “write an opening sentence of your future novel.” Well, I consulted many before I wrote mine. The one that won is the one from Tolstoy for one of my favorite books “Anna Karenina.” It’s the only book I brought with me when I moved to the US. I am sure there are many others with great…

Today’s task was to “Parachute. Make and test your own parachute today.” So, seeing how I don’t have access to a roof or don’t want to climb a tree I opted to jump from a bar stool (which is higher than a regular chair and has time to open the parachute). Now to constructing one. At first, I thought I…
Today’s task was to “go on a one-man protest.” well, for me it was “one-woman’s” At first I thought I’d just make a sign “I deserve better” and stand on a corner of my street. But then I thought what if someone reports it to my HOA. Really don’t want to deal with them as the last time I dealt…
Today’s task was to perform striptease (in private). OK so private went out of the window as I have all my window shades open because if they are not I get claustrophobic. But my neighbors across keep them shut so I guess it was somewhat private. (Note: I have no idea how people live in small boxes without natural light).…
I am reviving the “This Book Will Change Your Life” tasks. Today’s task was to “save the life of an ant.” No ants could be found in this cold weather but because it is raining all the worms are out and of course, there are spiders in my apartment and I mean a lot of them. So, I decided to…
Today’s task was to “sabotage Hollywood”. I decided to share a quick reviling of the ending of a movie. Here are the ones I watched. 1. Appolo 13 — They don’t make it to the moon but returned safely. 2. Forrest Gump — Forrest’s mum and Jenny die but leave Forrest with a baby. 3. Karate Kid — Daniel wins.…
Today’s task was to “buy your own grain of sand in the Bahamas.” Apparently, there is a price range: 1. Grain of sand near the beach toilets – $1 (convenient but no. there will be so many people stomping on it) 2. Grain of sand under a palm tree – $2 (tempting as it is hot but don’t want to…
