Thing #41: Learn to like these foods
This Thing is about trying eating new things and see if you like them or not. I am not 10 anymore and eating broccoli isn't a torture anymore (don't think it ever was) so this is a relatively easy Thing to complete. In fact most of the 'awful' things I actually like - lettuce, carrots, peas etc. So growing older has some good aspects too after all!

Thing #48: Watch these movies
I was coasting on the information highway (this thing called the Internet) and I came across a post with a list of films. Apparently, if you have watched more than 85 movies in the list you don't have a life. I thought to give it a go instead of using the list provided by the book. And the sum was... 89, which is good enough to prove I don't have a life. Well, we already knew this, as I have spent more than a year on this blog right? Actually, I would have scored MUCH higher if the whole Star Wars saga was included in the list. Anyway, having watched more than enough films, I think I will continue my endevour of doing something interesting with the my remaining of my life - before I get too old and too boring.

Thing #81: Research Your Family Tree
Finally! I got around to do a bit of research and come up with about 80+ family members spanning 7 generations using a software programme I installed on my PC a few months ago (always proactive eh?). These cover about a time frame of 130 years, albeit most of them are as expected in the second half of the previous century. Still, it was interesting to see the past unfolding in front of me, even if this only involved scratching the surface. Good enough though to claim Thing #81 done!
