Day Zero Project Update: Week 32-35

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…

  • Imagine Dragons "It's Time"
  • Punch Brothers "Dark Days"

5. Make a playlist of my favorite 101 songs -- I started sifting through my 9400 songs on iTunes.  I'm only in the Ds, so this will take a while.

What I Plan to Do Next Week

12. See all of IMDB’s Top 250 movies  (10/250) -- I really need to get moving on this.

16. Spend an afternoon in the park reading -- There are some great parks around here.  I need to start scouting.  And with a bike, it will be much easier.

32. Finish 30 reading challenges (7/30) -- Hope to knock out a few this next session.

35. Join or create a book club -- I found a couple on Meetup for the area.  I sent a join up email and am waiting to heart back.  I hope one of them is a perfect match for me.
