  My Grand List of Geeky Goals

  Lots of bloggers have these things called “Mighty Life Lists” - which basically chronicle all the awesome things they would like to do in their lives. It all started with the incomparable Mighty Girl, whose list includes things like:

  • Stay in the ice hotel
  • Visit that church made entirely of bones
  • Make butterscotch from scratch

  Others, like my girl Sarah Von over at Yes and Yes, make lists based on birth years - so this year she’s doing 34 New Things and last year she did 33 New Things. Get it? Her current list includes things like:

  • Go water skiing
  • Read ‘The Sun Also Rises’
  • Watch 'Rear Window’

  I am a fan of lists, so this idea is something I’m definitely drawn to, but I wanted to make a list that was more “me” and reflected my goals in life. And I also think that at my age, I probably don’t know everything I want to accomplish.

  Therefore, I introduce to you:

  My Grand List of Geeky Goals

  1. Read the entire Sherlock Holmes Anthology
  2. Attend San Diego Comic-Con
  3. Show a film at Sundance
  4. Show a film at SXSW
  5. Take the Leavesden Studio Tour
  6. Take a tour of Highclere Castle
  7. Back up (and continue to back up) all my writing and photos
  8. Create an ongoing animated series
  9. Go knock on the door at 221B
  10. Watch every episode of Doctor Who
  11. Build a piece of furniture, from scratch
  12. Watch every Pixar movie (including the shorts!)
  13. Write for Wired
