101 in 1001 List

Considering there are around thirty of my items that cannot be completed yet, due to time specifications, I feel like I'm doing fairly well. My entire list can be found here.

051. Listen to PC session once a month throughout 2009 and 2010. I didn't listen in January, February, or March, at which point I declared that I had failed. Previously, I had considered that if I missed just one month, I could listen twice in the next month, because the point was to listen periodically, not necessarily by the calendar. In the end, it was a somewhat unrealistic goal and if I were rewriting the list now, I wouldn't include it because it's a little too much focus on something that might not even happen. How's that for cryptic? I don't feel horrible about it, though, which tells me it probably wasn't actually important enough to me to get on the list.
