In Progress: let's take a look... Part 2

... from previously. Where am I actually at with all this "in progress" rubbish...?

#22. French books (1 / 5)

There are just so many good books to read in english! And then there was the whole 'learning spanish' escapade, during which any exposure to french sent me back about 18 lessons in spanish. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to read something in its original French ideally, rather than a translation from english. Light and fun is ideal... And short would be helpful.

#28. Self-portraits (24/33)

This is actually truly 'in progress'. I'm on track for the timeframe and look like finishing at the end of the list. To be fair, they're not all technically 'self' portraits. But my goal was to track what I kind of looked like, so mission accomplished. In the process of being accomplished. And no, they're not online. I'm shy.

#35. Laser (7/?)

I'm close, I think, to being less hairy. Forever. Cool. Just a leeetle more patience and pain and I'll tick it off as done. Too much information? Sorry. Deal.

#49. Cycling

Again with the not-very-specific goal. Do you think it's done? I took the velib' bikes in Paris on three occasions. And didn't die. Or even fall. Touch wood. The last trip was at night from one side of central paris to the other. But that was ages ago and it would be a bit anti-climatic to tick it off now. Let's say one more decent bike ride and it's done. I even have a 'cycling new york' map to use. As long as it's nowhere near another moving vehicle, or pedestrian, we should be fine.

#50. the Big Swim

I think this might have to register as my first Epic Fail. (I just wanted to say Epic Fail). Sad really. I did the swim for the first time about 4 years ago and loved it. Apart from getting sea-sick at about 2.2km and feeling like death for the last 500m or so. I really wanted to do it again with some decent sea-sick pills, but unless I'm back in Sydney for the Australia-Day long weekend next January, it's not going to happen. But let's not chalk it up as a fail yet. Don't think my ego's up to it.

#80. Home addresses (5/10)

My friends keep moving. Like, seriously, do not stay put for more than a few months. I'm sure I've collected at least 10 addresses over the last couple of years, but I'd be doubtful if more than one was still valid. At least I've now sorted out my Entourage/iPhone address book in a nice tidy way so that whenever I do collect an address or two I can keep it.

#95. Gimme Your Stuff

Cool concept, but this site has been down forever. It has occasional peeps of life, but never for long. I'll keep checking in, but it's looking shaky.

Et voila, the incompletes.

In summary, we have:

2 x could probably be considered done, will polish them off (new 76, 49)

3 x will be done in good time (new41, 28, 35)

4 x will show them some love and probably make it (22, new2, new52, new71)

1 x looking shaky, but will renew the effort (new44)

3 x epic fails (likely to be) (50, 80, 95)
