Oughts and Ought Nots

I recently bought tickets to a Passion Pit concert ... in 2010. It freaked me out a little, because the idea of the year 2010 seems so space age-y. Shouldn't we be commuting on hovercrafts, alongside intelligent androids, while downloading information straight into our brains?

But, here we are, just a couple months away from 2010. The Oughts (the Ohs, the 00s, the 2000s, whatever) are almost over. God, time flies. Doesn't it feel like the Millennium was yesterday?

Well, 2009 (aka Year 30) sure passed by in the blink of an eye. The list probably won't get completed, but ... hey, if people can roll over their vacations days and cell phone minutes, I can roll over list items. Year 31, here I come!

To add:
28. Get plants, keep them alive
29. Kiss someone under mistletoe
30. Learn to drive a stick shift

To cross off:
21. Finish reading 'The Grapes of Wrath'
Finally! And it didn't appeal to me any more than when I was 16. I don't think I'll be cracking open 'The Scarlet Letter' or 'The Crucible' anytime soon.
