Day 238

34) Have a game night every other week for 3 months (0/6) 10/13/07, 10/27/07, 11/11/07 - interrupted

I failed to have a game night this past weekend, probably due to both Trin and Zack being out of town. I want to start having more variety to those who attend too. Maybe invite people from my acting class and from yoga. It might be better to wait until the holidays have passed though...

39) Receive acupuncture 11/09/07, 11/21/07

I had my second round of acupuncture last Wednesday and got a whole new mixture of herbs to take. With the herbs in my system I have little tolerance for sugary foods which presented digestive problems on Thanksgiving and my B-day (which went wonderfully BTW). I really enjoy the peace and relaxation that the acupuncture itself provides but any effects on my acne have yet to be seen.

Day 228

10) Master 10 dinner recipes (0/10) Baked Chicken Breast with Honey Mustard Sauce (4); Stir Fried Chicken & Asparagus w/Seaweed Rice (1); 15 Minute Salmon with Mint Salsa and Minted Carrots with Pumpkin Seeds (1); Homemade Chili (1)

On Halloween I made a batch of chili from scratch... though the beans were canned... but they were organic. Trin and Zack had some and loved it, so I consider it a success.

17) Take Acting for Camera class enrolled 7/4/07

I've been getting all A's in this class, but it's scared me away from ever trying to act professionally. It really requires you to go for it heart and soul and it's impossible to give it real effort and keep a steady job, so you'd need someone supporting you at the start or have saved enough to support yourself.

34) Have a game night every other week for 3 months (3/6) 10/13/07, 10/27/07, 11/11/07

Sunday the 11th, after much conversation and story reading, Serena, Zack and I sat down for a game of scrabble. I didn't have a chance against these two, and was very sleepy, so I left the game early for bed while the two of 'em battled it out. Serena eventually won, though Zack claims it's because he got tired.

39) Receive acupuncture 11/09/07

Friday the 9th I received acupuncture for the first time, the focus being on curing me of acne. Needles were stuck in various parts of my body and I lay there with them for a half hour. I did feel random tingles and itches and my right hand went through something brief but painful. All and all it was relaxing, particularly the massage that followed. I was given some herbs and made another appt. for this Wed. Cross your fingers for my cause I really don't want to take Accutane.

53) Volunteer 50hrs (26/50) Food Bank 4/18/07, Homeless Children (2) 5/2/07, 6/20/07, Sprucing up the Botanical Garden 5/19/07, Breakfast for Abused Children 6/2/07, Fixin' Feral Kitties in Oakland 9/16/07, SF Green Festival 11/10 & 11/11/07

The weekend of the 10th and 11th I volunteered at the Green Festival. On Saturday I helped with the Numi tea stand and was given a bunch of free tea. Very good tea, might I add, being organic, plus fair trade certified. On Sunday my job was to get people to "register" by filling out a form asking for their name, phone #, e-mail, and mailing address. Clearly this was for marketing purposes so I felt awkward, particularly because they had to fill one out in order to get a ticket. Around 4pm (my shift was from 2-630p) they moved me to a little room to scan and pack donated books. I made out like a bandit with all the freebies for volunteers, the most mentionable being organic cotton shirts and organic chocolate.
