3. Watch an entire season of Seinfeld

I hate Larry David and I hate Jerry Seinfeld, *almost* as much as I hate Charlie Sheen.

These two videos pretty much sum Seinfeld up for me...



...I normally end up asking myself...'which ones the funny guy?'

That said, I have only seen three episodes, and considering Seinfeld was dubbed the greatest television program of all time, I'd like to find out why. Seasons 1 and 2, signed, sealed and yet to be delivered!!



Its hard to believe this show started in 1989 and finished in 1998. My hopes are if the plot bores me, at least the fashions and trends should be entertaining!

Radiohead releasing a new album: A Tour is Nigh!

Radiohead have made the surprise announcement that they will release their new album this Saturday (19 February). In a message posted today on their website, the band provided fans with details of how they can purchase their eighth studio album, The King of Limbs.
The release recalls the way in which their last album, In Rainbows, was delivered in 2007. Then, the band offered fans a chance to pay whatever they wanted to download the LP as part of a bold experiment. Now, the Oxford five-piece are offering "the world's first newspaper album". This comprises a CD copy of The King of Limbs and a number of collectable extras, including "two clear 10in vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve, many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together".
This time, however, the "honesty box" scheme of In Rainbows has been dropped and fans can expect to pay £30 for the newspaper package, available in May. A cheaper option is available – £6 for a downloadable version of the album to be made available this weekend.
Little is known about the band's new material, with Radiohead drummer Phil Selway saying last September that they were working through 18 months' worth of material but the album was "up in the air". Previously, rehearsals had been described as "noisy and chaotic" by bassist Colin Greenwood, who also said they were once again working with producer Nigel Godrich.
The King of Limbs will be released on Saturday 19 February 2011

The List

According to popular movie database IMDB  ‘The List’ is a thriller movie from 2007, in which:

A sudden death tied to a list from the past leads to unimaginable evil.”

In many ways, this could be used to describe my list…

One cold and stormy night in January, while my sister was telling me about her 30th Birthday Bucket List, I decided (read: plagiarized) that I should do the same, considering that I was going to be reaching a milestone year of 25.

That was until I recounted and realized I would be turning 25 in 12 days. Some would call that a challenge.

I did not.

 So without further ado, I present to you, a comprehensive list of things I wish to do whilst I’m still 25! (learn how to count was a strong contender). In no particular order, the checklist of things I wish to complete in 2011:

  1. Sail the Greek Islands
  2. Do a fun run
  3. Watch an entire season of Seinfeld (I hate that show)
  4. Ride a hot air balloon through Cappadocia
  5.  Be adventurous with food
  6. Work (preferably paid) for a development NGO
  7.  Go sky-diving
  8. Read Don Quixote from cover to cover
  9. Follow an English Premier League team
  10. See Radiohead and/or Thom Yorke play live
  11. See a psychic
  12. Use a bicycle as a mode of transport
  13. Appreciate wine
  14. Try yoga
  15. Go to a dubstep club
  16. Have a Turkish bath in Istanbul (and eat lots and lots of Gozleme)
  17. Find some Banksy graff
  18. Ride on the tallest ferris wheel in Europe
  19. Watch a sunrise (on purpose, not following a late night)
  20. Go to a European music festival
  21. Draw a picture (and try to make it good)
  22. Tick off the top ten of IMDB’s top 100 movies of all time
  23.  Learn how to cook a roast dinner
  24. Go and see a band I have never heard of
  25. Make a blog about my efforts
