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) (18/26)
- Kindness "House"
- Birdy "Just a Game"
- Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros "Home"

5. Make a playlist of my favorite 101 songs -- in progress. I am currently working through the Js.
6. Watch all the James Bond movies (22/22) -- Finished!
8. Have a Pixar marathon -- ongoing
- Up -- started with the saddest one, but a good one
9. See 101 new movies (35/101)
- Super 8 -- Great story. Could have done with the Abrams patented lens flares.
- Like Crazy -- Awesome quiet little story of love. Most of it was improvised dialogue between Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin.
- One for the Money -- Ugh! Thank goodness this was a Redbox movie. Crap!
- Secret of My Success -- How have I not seen this awesome 80s Michael J. Fox farce? And we even own it.
- Haywire -- Good action sequences, blah storyline...
- The Three Musketeers -- Overly hyped and stylized. Just didn't get me at all. I was laughing at the ridiculousness.
- The Woman in Black -- Very predictable. And hard to see Harry Potter as a widow with a young boy.
12. See all of IMDB’s Top 250 movies (11/250)
- Up -- Always makes me cry
14. Choose an actor/actress and see all their films (1/ 22) -- I picked Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. One movie complete this week.

72. Complete “50 Questions that Free Your Mind” (20/50) -- Have the templates ready, just haven't answered them yet.
Monthly Goal -- July
My day in 6 words. Ongoing for the next three months.
Take 26 photos of things that inspire me (one for each letter of the alphabet). I am going to try and complete this goal this month... Maybe the bosy can help me think of things.
Overall Progress
