The sidequests for this week included doing a power pose for 1 minute, watching my favorite movie of all time, and writing a one page letter to myself for 1 year from now.

Power pose was simple – set a song that was a little over a minute and maintained the stand up straight chin lifted posture the card recommends. Knocked that out early on.

The second was also fairly easy. My favorite movie of all time is The Thing. I own it on DVD, but in this day of too-lazy-to-pop-the-disc-in, I finally decided to just purcahse it streaming since the alternative is that I rent it every other year to watch. The effects are great for the time, the writing is excellent and the story is well put together. Some of it gets slow, but it builds the paranoia of the situation perfectly. I’ve also watched the old version before, the newer prequel, and have read the short story it is adapted from. Although I haven’t done any of those for awhile, so perhaps I should revisit them this next week as well?

The last one wasn’t difficult, but there were so many things that happened this past week that I was waiting on answers to that I waited last minute to write the letter. It’s kind of more interesting that way, I guess – to not know how certain things will turn out while writing, and seeing your thoughts just before any confirmations. I sealed the letter in an envelope, dated it, and stuck it at the back of my weekly planner to place at the appropriate date when I fill in my new planner for next year.

All in all, this week turned out pretty simple.
