106. Go to a real desert and see sand dunes

This is the coast of Baja California.

292. Go 100 days without fast food

Pretty self-explanatory.  It also turns out to be surprisingly easy if you're a six-hour plane ride from the nearest fast food joint.  I didn't manage to avoid fast food when I lived within walking distance of several fast food places.  I think my favorite fast food is the canteloupe juice at Quickly.

49. Read War and Peace

It was an alright book, kind of a lot of characters to remember.  One girl, Natasha, reminded me of a character in Tale of Genji.  I don't remember if the girl in Tale of Genji had a name; lots of them are called "the plum-blossom lady" or something like that.  But the girl in Tale of Genji wrote a poem that went "Not to one mortal only, but to all that in this dark world dwell, that word I must accord."  If I told you what they had in common, it might spoil the book, though.  You are going to read two 1000-page novels, each hundreds of years old, right?

142. Go to a foreign country with no hotel booked

I went to Vancouver and stayed at the hostel closest to the Amtrak station.  I can't really recommend it.  There was only one women's bathroom for the whole floor, the shower water didn't get warm enough, the single, bare lightbulb in my room was broken, and there were bedbugs.  So gross.

407. Create or help edit a page on Wikipedia

Well, I've edited spelling and grammar on quite a few Wikipedia pages--not all of them, but when I feel like it.  I couldn't tell you how to put in footnotes or start a new article, though.

596. Sell my own jewelry on Etsy

I make friendship bracelets out of cotton embroidery floss.  They're similar to ones you see for sale in Mexico.  They consist of large numbers of clove hitches and lark's head knots, and an overhand knot at the beginning and end.

182. Spend 24 hours naked

No picture, shockingly enough.  I had to put down all the blinds and not go outside, but I wasn't as cold as I thought I would be.  Of course, I lived in a studio at the time, and could turn the heat way up.
