10 Thing To Do Before Summer Is Over

Another favorite website gawker.com posted this list of "10 Things To Do Before Summer Is Over" and I was very pleased to discover that I had covered many of these!

1. Wear White - I wear white all year round and I used to get harassed by a coworker who complained that I wear white t-shirts, tanks and shirts all the time.  Here's a tip - I always carry a Tide to-go stick since it's not a meal until I've spilled something on myself.
2. Go Swimming - I spent last weekend in the North Fork of Long Island at a friend's parent's place on Orient Bay.  The weather was beautiful so we swam in the bay and lounged on a giant inflatable island-thing and watched a sailing race in the distance.  I miss the floaty island.  
3. Watch Things Explode - Saw Inception the first weekend it was released and although I have the attention span of a flea, this movie managed to have me transfixed.  When did the kid from Third Rock From the Sun become so hot?
4. Eat Corn on the Cob - The weekend prior to the Long Island weekend I was at another friend's parent's place upstate New York where her brother grilled some delicious local corn.  Completely worth all the flossing!
5. Call in Sick - Did that except I was sick.  Does that count?
6. Eat Ice Cream for Dinner - I have surprisingly not done this!  Last year I remember a couple Pinkberry dinners but so far this summer, frozen treats have been reserved for desserts and snacks. Can't wait to do this - yummm!
7. Read Something Stupid - Hellooo I have a freaking subscription to US Weekly!  This was a result of some trickery at the checkout at Best Buy, but it was one of the best mistakes I ever made.  
8. Have Sex Outside - Not sure I can pull this off since I'm usually in the city and would have to recruit a partner in this mission.  Being in the city, where would one be able to even do this?  Some quick research online and I found this 2008 article from Time Out New York Magazine's "The Horny Issue".  I'm pretty grossed out at the prospect of just walking through an alley in the Lower East Side let alone having sex!  Stinky garbage, rats and drunken passer-bys do not exactly set the scene for seduction.
9. Watch Sex Inside - This is a much more reasonable task to execute than 8).  The article recommends one of the slew of celebrity sex tapes that were released this summer including, Kendra from the Girls Next Door, crazy Danielle from the Real Housewives of New Jersey and Montana Fishburne, crazy spawn of Morpheus.  None of these particularly interest me.  I would prefer to see one the classics that I have missed such as Pam and Tommy Lee or Kim Kardashian and Ray J.
10. Get Drunk at a Baseball Game - I've been to several ball games this summer even attending a Yankees/Blue Jays game on the fourth of July while proudly wearing my Jays cap in a stadium full of Yankees fans.  But I have not been drunk on any of these occasions (no Lady Gaga moment for me). At one Mets game, before game time, there was a qualifying round for the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest where I witnessed Tim Janus (also known as Eater X) consume 42 (I think) hot dogs in 10 minutes!  I get drunk often enough without sullying my baseball watching experience!

So I've scrapped the sex outside thing but maybe I'll kill two birds with one stone and download One Night in Paris and hunker down with a pint of Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked ice cream!
