Several serious milestones over a short period of time

2008-05-12

The Gods Must be Crazy from Botswana was the 49th country in my "films of the world project", so now I`m getting near the biggest milestone I had intended to reach ASAP - 50 covered countries. What will be the 50th country? I don`t know yet but currently the main choice is between New Zealand, Lebanon and Pakistan. Popular countries, aren`t they? Another milestone was also reached last week - I finished covering music records from my disc number 40, so with "Ummagumma" I entered the 5th ten of the records, and that`s certainly a lot more than I believed I could achieve when I started this mission.
Finally I`ve submitted my tenth article to DELFI about history of football in different Latvian cities. So today or tomorrow here I`ll reach the number 10 of published articles - another round number. I`m not so sure that I will make it to twenty as I`ve lost most of my previous interest in this kind of "entertainment" lately but I still hope that I can make it after all as I don`t give up that easily (luckily there`s only around 20 cities that I theoretically should cover + a couple more that I already have enough materials on but that are not essential).
Anyhow by the end of the year the minimum numbers I want to achieve:
Discs from the collection covered - 50 (maybe 55)
Articles on football history published - 20
Films by country covered - 75
If possible - to reach the 2000th entry in the factoid (that does seem unlikely though).
