lists of lists

i've been making a list of the lists i want to make
would you call that meta-listmaking?
am i simply a project creator rather than a project executor?
  • the last 10 songs i've listened to and what i was doing when i listened to them (also associations)
  • a historical ethnography of western ave
  • the western bus - convincing chuck that it's not full of weirdos
  • places i dream of going and what i think they would be like
  • journals from traveling to those places and how they turned out
  • my favorite pubs in the city, ranking order, and why
  • the lives of my friends (a bit tricky - privacy issues)
  • poems about them
  • printmaking projects
  • which are linked to my desire to make architectural photographs of unlikely buildings in chicago
  • something that would reflect my approach to meaningful work (projects, service, academics, etc)
  • things i wish i would have done before turning 18, 21, and 25
  • my dad's obsession with family genealogy
  • i'm not quite as determined as i'd like to be to research the genealogy of my mother's family
  • taking oral histories of my family and friends
  • putting together an archive of them
  • but the archive
  • would live
  • and not gather dust

tiffany and mckenzie -- please tell me, was it borges or proust who made those long sensuous inventories of things?

here's the challenge: the napkin images won't behave. i'm having some photoshop genius girls come over now and help me. well i guess i should say they happen to be coming over and then can help me. they will be caught unaware. perfect.
