To-do lists

[robinturner]

I frequently make mental to-do lists. Occasionally, when I'm feeling unusually organised, I even write them down. They fall into two categories: things I'd like to do to develop my potential (improve my Perl, Lojban, martial arts skills etc.) and things I need to do otherwise I'm in trouble (grade papers, get my tax number, clean the house etc.). However, I think it's time I had a frivolous to-do list. As Horace said: "Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans; it's lovely to be silly at the right moment." So here's my frivolous to-do list:

• Learn the chorus of the Ketchup song
• Do a handspring
• Learn the samba
• Make flapjacks
• Play Alice
• Write more silly LJ entries

The handspring part might be tricky, though.
