Today’s task was to indulge yourself. Following Oscar Wilde’s quote: “Anyone who lives within their means suffers from the lack of imagination” I proceeded to the list of items I was supposed to indulge myself with. Here is the list: 1. Caviar: Tsar Imperial beluga = $1,500 a lb. Nope. Could not find it on Amazon anyway. Could have had…

Today’s task was to “found an entirely new city.” Every city starts with a single brick. According to instructions, I was supposed to find a brick and then a field to lay it in (preferably by a river as it will make your city a trading port in the future). Finding a brick was easy as my condo came with…
Today’s task was to “wreak havoc on a microscopic scale.” The task is as follows: 1. Shake hands with someone and spread armies of staphylococcus — It’s raining today and my freakazoid doggo won’t go on a walk unless I drive him somewhere where he has no choice but to walk during the rain. Thank god the roads are OK…
Today’s task was the emergency button day. We don’t have emergency buttons in the US (the book is from England) but we do have fire alarms.

Today’s task was to learn a ballet step. Even though the book said just one I decided on 3 because I am an overachiever. The first I learned is Arabesque where you have to extend your leg directly behind the body in a straight line. I did it because I liked the name. This was one of the easier ones…
Today’s task was short — “kiss mother Earth.” However, it was not easily achieved as we got like 10in of snow so I had to dig deep and then be afraid that my lips will stick to the earth just like tongues to poles in Alaska. First thing first, I don’t have a shovel. What to do? I guess I…
Today’s task was to do a World Domination day and make your plans in advance in case you need them.

Ni Hao) Capital: renamed after Your pet (totally. Opee needs a…
Today’s task was to sing Wagner’s Ring Cycle in the shower. I had to do some research and turns out it is three operas under the name. Naturally, there is no way I could bellow three operas so I had to look up at least one that lists the lyrics. Although the book provided a musical score there is no…
Today’s task was to “pick up litter in the street today.” So I had to research the lifeline of the litter with the book’s help. Here is what I found: Banana peel — 3 to 4 weeks (5 picked) Tin can — 10-40 years. (1 picked) Aluminum wrapper — 200 to 500 years (10 picked) Disposable diaper — 500 to…
