Update!

7. Watch all movies on AFI's top 100 list (22/100) - in progress

I watched Double Indemnity last week, which was about a man who helps a woman murder her husband for insurance money. It was OK... it was in black and white, which I didn't expect because I didn't pay attention to the year it was made, and that kind of threw me. But it kind of played out like Law and Order, so it gets a six maybe.

8. Read 50 books (19/50) - in progress

I read "God, Dr. Buzzard and the Bolito Man" by Cornelia Bailey, which reads like a memoir of her time growing up on Sapelo Island in Georgia. I read it because I thought I was going to tour Sapelo and meet Cornelia when I was down doing research for my thesis, but that ended up not happening, and in the end I don't really mind because her book was so interesting. I liked it a lot.

13. Complete a soundtrack to '09, '10 & '11 - in progress

I updated from this summer, but I only have a few songs, so that might be changed... I think I have ten or fifteen for the year right now.

27. Follow Virgina Tech and Steelers teams for a full football season - in progress

Wrote all the Steelers & televised Tech games into my calendar... I really wanted to watch the Steelers/Redskins preseason last night, but I don't get the NFL network... which is all just as well, because they lost. Oops.

37. Own a plant for at least a year without killing it - in progress

An orchid plant came into my possession August 13, 2009. It was from Chris... sometime during my sophomore year, I think... but I had taken it home over Christmas and forgotten about it. So I brought it back to school and I'm going to mother it. We'll see.

42. Try 15 new restaurant (13/15) - in progress

Went to Moe's when I was in South Carolina, which was a lot of food, and good in that sense. But I'm not such a fan of fast food mexican places -- Chipotle, Qdoba, etc. But Moe's was alright.

56. Exercise 2-3 times a week (9/143) - in progress

A no-go for the past two weeks. I worked out on Monday but I didn't do it again this week. I'm here at JMU now though, so I have UREC.

--Till next time
