Okay, so I don't actually do most of the to-do list items. They're usually just things that we think most normal people would enjoy doing. My usual to-do list looks something like this:
1. Coax computer into producing notes for article that mysteriously disappeared when computer last crashed.
2. Realize that notes are gone forever and will have to be reconstructed. Scream silently. Refrain from killing self.
3. Realize am late to meet friend for drink. Run out door, grab slice of pizza (dinner), go to meet friend at WD-50 dive bar.
4. Go to schmoozy media party. Drag friend. Gossip about industry with other drunken hacks. (Other drunken hacks preface conversation with "you're not going to put this on Gawker, are you?")
5. Go to dive bar with other drunken hacks. Drag friend.
Wash, rinse, repeat. It's amazing that I even have friends left to drag. (Then there's the also popular 'alternative to-do list': 1. Work. 2. Work. 3. Work.)

That said, it's been pointed out to me that there are several other events tonight that I MUST MUST MUST put on the to-do list.
1. "The future of the Democratic Party" discussion at the 92nd Street Y with Walter Mosley, Lizabeth Cohen, Josh Hartnett, Janeane Garofalo, Danny Goldberg and Mark Green, moderating. (You may stalk my publisher at this event. He says he's going.)
2. Hear Page Six columnist Ian Spiegelman read from his new novel, "Everyone's Burning" at the Astor Place Barnes & Noble. Anything that's previously appeared as a Gawker post usually makes it to the to-do list. If you're planning to go, I highly suggest you read Ian's interview at Moby Lives, which has already been savagely parodied by one of the usual suspects. See also the MobyLives "letters" page.
3. And stuff I'm actually doing: Jen Bekman's closing show (early). The Gothamist/601 happy hour (late). Dinner in between with a bunch of drunken hacks writerly types.
