Day Zero Project Update: Week 59-62

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 — Narrowed down to 101, prepping posts for January.

9. See 101 new movies (84/101)

• We are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists — Awesome documentary chronicling the history of hacktivism with an emphasis with Anonymous.  Beautiful piece of film.
• Tim Minchin: Rock n Roll Nerd — J absolutely loves him and has been wanting me to watch this documentary about him for awhile.  Very entertaining and poignant.
• The Five Year Engagement — Not so great.  A little too awkward weird.
• Seeking a Friend for the End of the World — Beautifully uplifting for an end of the world movie.
• Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter — Pretty disappointed as I loved the book.  I updated my book review to include a movie review.
• Safety Not Guaranteed — This movie was great.  I loved the mystery of it.  And the characters were amazing.  Must see.
• The Campaign — Very relevant look at our political spectrum told with laughs.
• Skyfall — Amazing Bond film!  A must see.  Really enjoyed all the nods to the previous films.
• Wreck It Ralph — Took the boys, a very good animated movie!

24. Keep a journal for this project

28. Blog 1001 times 39 post this period.  (659/1001)

30. Finish 100 creative writing prompts (8/100)  — I joined Michelle @ Stories Inside for Sit Down and Write 2 (ending today).  This allowed me to focus on my writing for two weeks.  And of course, I failed miserably.  Being away from home and back in Indiana distracted me with everything else.  I only got 4 prompts completed…

32. Finish 30 reading challenges (17/30)

• Shakespeare Reading Challenge

Overall Progress
