Beyond the usual world domination and ruling over the universe, naturally.
I’ve got a reading list that is thrice-and-a-quarter as long as my arm, and I want to get back into piano lessons in the fall (this means sitting down at the piano and banging away for a couple of hours each day and/or until the neighbours form a mob with pitchforks and torches to come after me). I’d like to learn more Spanish and Italian.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Don’t know how it works in Canada, but if you were here in the U.S., I’d suggest finding someplace to volunteer: hospital, park, library, charitable organization. You meet people you wouldn’t otherwise run into and make the world a little bit better.
Sorry – since I read the thread title as “I need goats this summer,” you know I’m not gonna be any help.
Well, you know, ol’ Baphomet and Beelzebub downstairs are getting pretty tired, with all these newbies… 
Two chicks at the same time.
Some things to do this summer:
Listen to French radio. Think of it as the ultimate dictée. 
Get a keyboard and practice with headphones on. That’s what I did, and so far the neighbourhood doesn’t have that excuse to go all pitchforky on me.
Learn to accept opera, and go to see Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen when it opens at the Opera House this summer. All 17 hours of it. (Actually, checking the COC’s site, I see that the Ring Cycle (not Tolkien) starts on Septenber 12th. But it’s 80% sold out! Act fast!)
Speaking of Tolkien, go to see The Lord of the Rings at the Pricess of Wales Theatre.
Visit every Tim Hortons in the city. Do not blow yourself up in any of them.
Go tree-planting.
Volunteer to help build houses.
I’ll think of more when I’m awake for real.
Well, if you’re getting bored of world domination and ruling over the universe you can always put a new spin on it.
For instance, world domination: with no hands! or world domination: while smoking a pipe and playing “Chopsticks” on the piano!
Now, there’s something to shoot for!
I’m guessing my summer goal of drinking beer while sitting in my big floaty chair in the pool as often as possible is not what you have in mind Kythie.
I know! Work the neighbors into a pitchforks and torches frenzy against another neighbor. That’s always good for some summer diversion.
I think we need to exchange eyeglasses, because I read it the exact same way…
A couple of goats would cut down on the need to mow so much. Just sayin’.
That is, however, a goal I can get myself into. Well, that and the aforementioned two chicks at the same time.
This plan has a lot of things going for it, but I think it could be better.
Get a small plastic kiddie pool, preferably with garish colors. See if you can find Spongebob or something similiar.
Place it in your front yard, in full view of the neighborhood.
Sit out there all day, fully nude save for a fishing hat.
When people walk by, pull soggy food from under the water line and eat it.
I can’t find the simpsons episode I’m thinking of right now, and snpp.com’s search is broken, but these are the main points. You may also try getting drunk in the morning. You can make a game of it. See how many drinks you can have before noon, and then try to break that record.
Thank you Easter Bunny! Bawk Bawk!
Eventually, you will be seeing how many liver transplants you can have in one summer. And then you can try to break that record!
Well, she’s got half of that covered already.
