My Epic Quest

Did you see the new tab at the top of the page? The Epic Quest tab? I just added it a few days ago.
So what’s an Epic Quest? It’s turning your life into a video game. Each new thing you’ve always wanted to do, each quest, is worth 20%. As you do new things, and accomplish new tasks, you get to level up. So for every 5 things accomplished you get to go up a level. Yeah, okay, it’s basically a bucket list, but sounds so much cooler when you call it an Epic Quest.
It’s not my idea. I got it from one of my all-time favorite bloggers Steve over at NerdFitness.com. I love the idea. I’m a list person, especially a to-do list and there is nothing I like more than crossing things off. In fact I’ve made many of these kinds of lists in the past but always end up losing them. (When I was in New Zealand in 2000 I made a list of “100 things I want to do before I turn 100.” I’d love to find that list and see how many I have accomplished.)
So now I’m putting it on my blog so I won’t lose it.
I actually originally wrote this list last year, in a notebook. So I was happily surprised to see that in the past year I had crossed off two things from the list! And some goals were totally irrelevant now which I also see as a good sign (for instance one said “pass HSK 4” but that level is too low for me now, so the new goal is pass HSK 6.)
So go take a look at my Epic Quest of Awesomeness and tell me what else I should do. As I hopefully begin accomplishing the list and crossing things off, I want to add new things too. What do you suggest?
And my question for you is…what’s on your Epic Quest? And what level are you on?

100 Years of the CCP and All I Got was This Lousy Light Show

Okay, I click-baited you with that title. It wasn’t a lousy light show at all, it was quite spectacular but “…and all I got was this spectacular light show” isn’t how the t-shirt goes, so there you have it. So yeah, July 1st was the 100th anniversary of the founding
