The things I get up to

The Comic Strip Project

I will watch every episode of The Comic Strip Presents in order and comment. I'm done with everything but the extras - the dvd was gouged by one of my machines.

The 1912 Project

I scan and post the ephemera from my Great-Grandfather's trip to Europe. This is on my secondary blog, Ants in Your Plants of 1941.

Buying the New Yorker

The first go through (Buying the New Yorker 2006) was my idea to find the answer to the question, "If I were to buy absolutely everything advertised in this issue of The New Yorker, how much would it cost?" Now I am using the same format to look at every ad in the issues that came out every decade prior to my first issue. It isn't as complex as it seems.

Lyricblogging

I take a song and put up a post of commentary for each line of lyrics. I've only managed to do this once. It's hard to find a song that will hold up.

Reading Hitchcock

I read the source material for every film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Listening to the World

I listen to an internet radio station from every country on the planet Earth. (Of course, if you can find others I'll happily listen to them too.)

Breaking Down the Nervous Detectives

I watch and comment on British action television. Luckily, I have no set agenda for this one.
