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) (20/26)
- Alex Clare "Damm Your Eyes"
- The Lumineers "Ho Hey"
5. Make a playlist of my favorite 101 songs -- in progress
8. Have a Pixar marathon -- ongoing
- Wall-E -- A's pick
- Brave -- I loved it! A great new Pixar movie starring a girl!
9. See 101 new movies (50/101)
- Rio -- Fairly decent kids movie
- Brave -- Amazing!
- The Amazing Spider-Man -- Great movie!
- In Time -- so so
- This Means War -- I could have done without the romance angle. Would have been better as a buddy cop movie.
- The Last Legion -- pretty boring retelling of the story of fall of Rome and Excalibur
- One Night with the King -- a badly acted version of Esther's story from the Bible
- 9 -- Great children's flick with an interesting message
- Crazy, Stupid, Love -- Amazing movie with Steve Carrell and Ryan Gosling. A Must See!
- Bright Star -- This story of John Keats has been on my list forever. Grabbed it from the library. Good, if a little moody.
- Unknown -- Liam Neeson being Liam Neeson. Better than I thought it would be, but not really great.
- 30 Minutes or Less -- Not the best...
- Mirror, Mirror -- Loved that Snow White wasn't a damsel in distress, but the rest was a bit jokey.
- Casa de Mi Padre -- Amazing Will Ferrell movie! Loved the little touches.
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes -- Better than I thought it would be...
