Day Zero Project Update: Week 25-28

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

3. Listen to 26 new bands (one for each letter of the alphabet) (8/26)

  • Cake "Mustache Man"
  • Fun "We are Young"
  • Of Monsters and Men "Little Talks"

  • GoldenEye
  • Tomorrow Never Dies

9. See 101 new movies (23/101)

  • Swimming with Sharks -- Awesome Devil Wears Prada-ish story before DWP and with evil boss Kevin Spacey.  Loved it!
  • Catch-22 -- One of J's favorite movies and I'd never seen it.  Alan Arkin was just amazing.
  • The Hunger Games -- OMG!  Had to see it.  Loved it, even with the changes from the book.

17. Reread all of the Harry Potter books (3/7)

24. 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.

  • Rosicrusian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, CA

100. Scrapbook 100 pages -- 10 pages this week (68/100)

What I Plan to Do Next Week

The next couple of weeks are going to be very busy with vacation and readying to move to California.  I probably won't get a whole lot checked off of the list, but I'm going to try.  I won't do another update post until the end of April...

Monthly Goal

I am going to start my "Day in 6 words" challenge.  I have a "One Line a Day" 5 year journal, so I will just modify that.  I might also keep a running tally on my update posts...  And I swear we are going to finish James Bond Month(s) soon.  We only have a few to go.

Overall Progress

7 / 101
