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.
