Day Zero Project Update: Week 15-17

Instead of daily posts, I thought it would be a lot easier for me and you if I did weekly update posts.  These will track my progress each week.  I will highlight what I’ve done, what I want to do, and any interesting tidbits.  Sometimes I’ll add pictures and/or links.  Hopefully these posts will keep me accountable to me list…

What I Did

6. See all of IMDB's Top 250 movies  (10/250) -- All rewatches this time around. We introduced the boys to the Star Wars trilogy.  I'm happy to say that they loved all three movies.  Plus we started on the Indiana Jones trilogy (there are only 3).

  • 23. Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • 16. Star Wars
  • 12. The Empire Strikes Back
  • 100. The Return of the Jedi
  • 108. Die Hard
  • 190. Ratatouille

12. Watch all the James Bond movies (6/24)

  • Dr. No
  • From Russia with Love
  • Goldfinger
  • Thunderball
  • You Only Live Twice
  • Her Majesty's Secret Service

15. See 101 new movies (14/101)

  • Arthur Christmas -- Actually a decent Christmas movie with the boys.  I'm not planning on owning it or anything, but it was a good 90 minutes spent.
  • We Bought a Zoo -- Went last night with a friend.  Loved it!  A real feel good movie.

18. Make a list of 101 inspirational quotes (25/101) -- You can find them here.

19. Blog 1001 times (176/1001)

22. Keep a journal for this project — Obviously an ongoing goal. I got a beautiful black soft cover journal to use.  I am determined to journal at least a bit each day.

28. Reread all of the Harry Potter books -- I joined a Harry Potter reading challenge.  The plan is to read one novel a month.  This month I re-reread Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

32. Read my height in books — This week’s height: 3 in   (33.5/68 in.)

72. Complete "50 Questions that Free Your Mind" (20/50) -- Answers to questions #11-20.

100. Scrapbook 100 pages (58/100)

What I Plan to Do Next Week

More James Bond, more blog entries, more inspirational quotes.

Monthly Goal

January’s task is to watch all of the James Bond movies.  We have 22 movies to watch this month.  We're getting there.  One Connery to go, finished with the Lazenby, on to Moore!

Overall Progress
