Things to Do

Just to remind myself of some things I want to do.

• Learn to ride a motorbike (check ... doing a course this Saturday).
• Buy a motorbike. Either a V-Star 250 or Virago.
  
• Do some more writing.
  
• Start a group writing thing ... had this idea of a bunch of people writing a serial. Maybe something like Lost for Blogs ... each writer, takes the perspective of a character (helps explain differences in style) and writes a regualr piece, with the only rule that it has to end on some cliffhanger twist and the next writer takes that twist as their starting point and runs with it.
  
• Write a comic. Which means finding an illustrator. Current ideas include a Spaghetti Western set in space ... think Clint Eastwood on Tatooine. Lame, but comics mostly are. And I mean, Warren Ellis gets away with in WolfSkin, which is an amalgamation of Conan with samurai fiction.
  
• Start a regular roleplaying group. I haven't done this in years but it could actually be kind-of cool, particularly with some dramatic thespian types rather than number-crunching nerds. But still ... a bit of a strange idea, I know.
  
• Related to that, have a games night. More with the nerd. Risk, Memoir 44, BloodBowl, Chess, Go, whatever.
  
• See some theatre.
  
• Go to the opera.
• Practice the drums more. Started getting back into the swing of practice.
  
• Start an nearly-all-girl post-rock orchestral sound experience spectacular. The nearly-all-girl is mostly facetious, but I have been hanging around in male bands since I was 17, and I just think it would be good to be the token boy for a change (I mean, I've been in bands with girls, of course (ended in tears, but that's my fault) but mostly a lot of the cock-rock, if you know what I mean). And regardless I would love to be in rollocking Godspeed You! Black Emperor band. I have a cellist, accordion player and pianist in mind already (not that they know it yet).
  
• Go to the Grampians, stay in the Y Hostel, take over the massive kitchen and cook up a storm. Possibly also go outside for long meditative walks. Of course this is much more fun with Point 6 taken care of. I should definitely add a Point 6.5: Cooking and Wine Drinking Partner.
  
• Go to Brisbane to see the family.
  

That's all I can think of ... there was something else, I know it.
