So far this week I've watched two movies on my list (and rented a few more to watch). First being Annie Hall. I remember reading somewhere that it was what When Harry Met Sally was based off of. The styles were pretty similar, but I think I liked Harry and Sally a bit more than Alvy and Annie.

Earlier this week I watched Lord of the Rings, which I HATED when I was younger but actually really enjoyed this time around. I even want to see the other two movies, and maybe attempt to read the series again...

Happy New Year!

I think its time for some updates and changes on my 101

Its been awhile...

but I have made some progress

10. Totally unexpected. A random boy asked me out on a date at a bus stop. Turned out to be a kind of adorable farm boy, who refuses to agree with me about anything. We are total opposites yet I'm somehow still talking to the dumb kid.... :)
29. Read Bridget Jones's Diary, currently reading Water for Elephants, kind of.
32. Got an actual debit card that automatically puts 25 dollars a month into my new savings account.
35. Have credit card, but still need to activate it
59. Ben counts as a new friend
91. Got this cute box/bin thing and it is perfect for storing all winter accessories under the bed

76.&78.&84.&85. Have decided to change these goals cause they are silly.
New Ones:
76. Paint 5 pictures I'm proud of
78. Get a new camera
84.-----
85.-----
Will decide later on the last two...considering its 4:11 am, and I'm finally getting a bit tired.

Day 2

I watched Chinatown last night, with Jack Nicholson, who was looking mighty fine in the seventies, I must say...

I really, really liked it.  Its a movie I think I'll need to watch again to understand all that was happening, but it was really intriguing.

I am also working on a mother bear!
