Day Zero Project Update: Week 67-71

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

5. Make a playlist of my favorite 101 songs (8/101)

  • Damien Rice "Amie"
  • Goo Goo Dolls "Iris"
  • Orgy "Eva"
  • Sarah McLachlan "Adia"
  • Barenaked Ladies "Alcohol"
  • Cake "Short Skirt Long Jacket"
  • Cowboy Mouth "Love of My Life"
  • Five Iron Frenzy "Oh Canada"

9. See 101 new movies (100/101)

  • Lincoln -- Daniel Day Lewis better get the Oscar for his performance!
  • The One -- Jet Li vs. Jet Li being completely badass.  What's not to love?
  • The Final Countdown -- 1970s scifi at its best.
  • Real Steel -- Good, if a bit melodramatic in a few scenes.
  • Nine -- Not the best musical, but definitely evokes a certain time period in history.
  • Priest -- Silly action movie...
  • The Queen of Versailles -- Documentary showing extravagance.  Very interesting and appalling.
  • Friends with Benefits -- Much better than No Strings Attached, but cheesy at times.
  • Taken 2 -- Liam Neeson kickin' ass for an hour and a half. Perfection!

20. Reread all of Jane Austen's novels (3/6)

24. Keep a journal for this project

27. Make a list of 101 inspirational quotes (69/101)

28. Blog 1001 times --  99 posts this period  (808/1001)

32. Finish 30 reading challenges (27/30)

  • Seasonal Reading Challenge
  • Fantasy Reading Challenge

63. Host a homemade pizza party -- We had a great little party with our Indiana friends Tori and Alli.
