Last year, I made a to-do list for 2009. Let's see how that went.
Write more and better stuff.
Check. Last year I wrote 115 posts, this year 197. So far. And if you ask me, there are a couple very good ones buried between the crappy ones.
Perfect my crème brûlée making skills.
Check. While I was pretty happy with my first attempt this year, the batch I made last friday was absolutely spot on.
I'm going to try to keep up the 'see at least one concert or other cultural event each month' schedule.
Check. 27 months and counting.
See at least one version of Tanz der Vampire.
Check. So I was going to see Dans der Vampieren in Antwerp last sunday. But then it got postponed until September 2010 at least. So I went to Vienna, and saw one hell of a version.
Finish my list of 100 things I want to do before I die.
Check. Now it's just a matter of crossing things off that list.
So that's five out of five. Not bad. Not bad at all.

A suggestion for number 72 on your list: now is the time. Cinemas are almost empty, especially if you choose a film that is at its last viewings.
And may I suggest "Kerkhof Tongerseweg" in Maastricht for number 85? A very old graveyard with marvellous headstones and a unique scenery. And when in Maastricht you can also visit the great "Selexyz Dominicaner" bookstore.
Haven't you done 26 already? http://www.evilnickname.org/weblog/2008/02/24/friday-night-at-lostfound/
No, I've got nothing better to do at this moment :)
Hi John. Nothing better to do? Hmmm, sounds familiar.
Re: 26 — I wouldn't call that one good myself. I totally screwed up the end. The people who invited me liked it, though. Also: that was before I made this list.
For #72: I went to see Coraline earlier this year at 3PM on a monday in a week when schools were in. And still there were two others.
#85: that might work. Maastricht is still on my list of places to visit one day. It's not that I'm in a hurry to get this list done, anyway.
