2011 list

First Fridays at the Natural History Museum

by
Every first Friday of the month for the first half of the year, KCRW – the radio station, is putting up a show at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles; DJ’s, live music, alcohol and dinosaurs!

It’s difficult for me to wrap  my head around that this has actually been a live animal!

I love museums, and I had never been to the Natural History Museum before, I will have to go back there to check out everything I didnt get a chance to see tonight!

11 Things to do in 2011

by

I’ve set up a list of things that I want to have accomplished by the end of 2011;

  1. re-design my website www.popnea.com. Not sure how, just know that I want an update.
  2. read 5 books. I am not a very good reader, and I usually get restless and don’t finnish the book. I think it’s been 5 years since I read a book.
  3. run three 5k’s. I enjoy running, but I’m lazy. This will keep me motivated to get out and run throughout the year. My goal is to run a 5k under 30 minutes, it doesn’t have to be this year though.
  4. visit a city in the US that I have not previously been to. Time to get to know the rest of America!
  5. go to 5 concerts (just go to the local pub or go see some friend of a friends band play does not count). I used to go see a lot of bands, then I moved to the US and I stopped, now I want to get back into it.
  6. camp out. I don’t know why I put this up here. I’m gonna be freaked out by the wilderness.
  7. stay up and watch the sunrise. This is another stupid thing on the list. I have stayed up to see the sunrise before, but I guess it’s gonna be done again.
  8. visit Catalina Island. An island 20 something miles southwest of LA, it’s supposed to be beautiful.
  9. take a beginners class in Spanish. After 5 years in southern California, it’s time to learn the language! Habla?
  10. visit 5 museums I have not been to. There’s a lot of interesting museums out there!
  11. volunteer for a soup kitchen. It’s time to give back!
