My 6-year old iPod finally kicked it last weekend (what a trooper though, eh?), so I was suddenly very nervous about my music collection. Although my computer still works almost perfectly, it's also ancient (c. 2003) so if it crashed I would have no way of retrieving my files. I finally bit the bullet and bought a 1TB external drive. I copied over all my music (5000+ files) and videos, as well as photos and docs, and I barely even made a dent in that thing. It's cavernous!
001. Eat at 25 new restaurants - (03/25)
I am more than a little ashamed to say, in spite of the fact that
a) I am forever and always lamenting the scarcity of good Mexican food in Rochester
b) I live down the street
I had never been to John's Tex-Mex. I KNOW. That was finally remedied yesterday, though, when I popped in to grab an absurdly large pork burrito with rice, black beans, sour cream, cheese, and pickled jalapenos. My only gripe is that there is no way to eat their burritos with your hands... they're too big and are not very well wrapped, so it's a strictly knife-and-fork affair. But I got over that pretty quickly (like, the instant I took my first bite). I took it to go, but I wouldn't mind going back and eating in. It's a super-tiny space and I always find those cozy and adorable (as long as you're not vying with 50 people for the 6 tables).
040. Try 25 new wines - (02/25)
I am definitely a red-head when it comes to wine. I don't dislike whites, and I tend to drink a lot more of them in the summer, but I always find myself drawn to the rich, juicy reds. Yesterday I tried Silvertop Malbec from Argentina, as I'm trying to branch out from the Californian and French labels I normally choose. It was definitely bolder and deeper than the reds I normally drink, closer to a Merlot, and therefore perfectly suited to the little cold snap we had to endure this weekend.
044. Take a picture a day for 365 days - (010/365)
Speaking of reds, when I was picking up the external drive at Target yesterday I wandered down the hair care aisle and on an impulse decided to add a little copper to my hair for the spring. I did it last year and liked how it turned out, so I thought I'd give it a go again. It's not dramatically different, and in the photo it's brighter than normal because I hadn't shampooed yet, but I'm a fan.
And, as I'm moving out in 2 months, I've been somewhat inclined to take photos of my apartment. Here are my bookcases, which look like they might need a new friend soon. Or maybe not because I might just spend the rest of my life reading World Without End... (I'm 733 pages in, which is like 2 books already. 250ish to go... another book. SO. LONG).
006. Take the FSOT
I'm trying to study for this today, but I'm finding myself constantly distracted by the shiny internet, or snacks, or things happening outside. I only have about 10 weeks (they haven't opened test date registration yet but it'll be sometime in mid-June) and have barely begun revising American Government & Politics, let alone History, Economics, and Psychology. I think I probably should come up with a study schedule. Arf.
