Guilty Pleasure

December 8th, 2006 by Larry Smith

What a pleasure it was to stumble upon Daily Guilt, the blog of Melanie Orndorff, a multimedia documentarian and blogger in L.A.
Melanie’s documenting her own version of a project started by the folks here at Triplux. Mission: complete 101 preset tasks in 1001 days. It’s like a Life List meets a to-do list, a little less climbing of Kilimanjaro, a little more learning to play bocce ball*.

I got lost in her list (#9. Take a DJ class at Scratch DJ academy; #91. Pay for the person behind me at a fast food drive-thru) and will be following her progress for the next, oh, couple years (only 624 days 13 hours and 12 minutes left). Maybe when she’s almost reached her goal Oprah will invite her on her show (#47. Attend a taping of Oprah). Now that would be win-win.

What’s on your list of late?
