Since I'm all cheerful and rainbows and sunshine lately, I thought I'd continue with this whole chipper death topic by posting my bucket list. It's pretty damn short. Not because I have little motivation to do more than sip cappuccino and write and well, sip more cappuccino... but because I think I there's a lot of stuff I want to do and accomplish that I just don't even know about yet. So here are some of the things I'd like to do before I die... that I know of now:
1. Write a book
2. Become fluent in Russian
3. Police ride along
4. Re-create The Hangover without losing any teeth
5. Visit Pike's Place - the original Starbucks store
6. Swim in the Married with Children Fountain in Chicago
7. Get lost in Times Square with a camera
8. See a UFC pay-per-view live
What's on your bucket list?
looks like a pretty good list.

Looks like a good list. My cousin learned Russian because he went to live there for a summer, it's hard but sounds hot.
I def want to learn Spanish because I feel it's the 2nd most necessary next to English and I'd like to know when people are talking shit..cuz you know they are ;)

If you make it to Seattle, you have to let me know! (I went by the store this weekend actually.)
As far as my bucket list, I'll have to give it some thought.

I can help you with #6 at Blogher. Oh, and #7- even though I am a native New Yorker, I have no sense of direction!!

#4 I'll slip you a rufie @ blogher. Just let me know when you're going to put your drink down -- ha! Chicago's not Vegas, but I'm sure you could find trouble and not remember a thing. :)

I can tell you, having been to the original Starbucks....meh. It's interesting in the fact that you can tell it was a very old building and space that was retooled for an old-style French/Italian coffee place, but beyond that.....
You can miss it. I promise.
Now, at Pike's, the fish throwers are who you want to see, especially with your camera.

Cool list. I've actually done 1, 5, and 7. Once I sober up from these freakin' cappuccino martini's I'm posting my bucket list on my blog (wherever it is).
Oh fuck. The text is moving. Make it stop! Make it stop! AEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

I'm a regular reader of your blog. Introduced by my sister who also regularly reads your blog. You make me laugh and I relate in a lot of ways because I also have 3 youngs boys. I live in Seattle and I notice that you want to visit Pike Place market to visit Starbucks. Fun! It's so wonderful down there. I'm very willing to show you around the city. You'll love it. Right now it's soooo busy with tourists. October would be a wonderful time to visit. Or late September. Geez, come for a long weekend - you can accomplish a lot here in a weekend.
Seriously, I'd love to show you around. Think about it.
