Today, I completed NoBloPoMo--National Blog Posting Month. Not quite as official as NaNoWriMo; it happens every month. But I completed it! Which means that goal #82 has been completed!
I also finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the other day. A re-read, but very good. Now I'm on to American Gods, by Neil Gaiman.
I also changed up a couple more goals, so my major disadvantage. I took out a couple of goals that I had "in progress," and replaces them with goals that haven't been started yet.
The new goals:
47: Learn to throw a frisbee properly (replaced: Learn to read Tarot cards quickly and accurately)
51: Learn to start and maintain a campfire
52: Learn to Cross Stitch and complete a (small) project (replaced: Learn to recognize 10 local bird calls)
53: Learn to whistle with two fingers (replaced: Learn to recognize 10 constellations/stars)
Also, as of today, I have:
21/101 goals completed
23/101 goals in progress
57/101 goals not started at all yet.
I'm proud of myself.

Watchmen
I just realized that I didn't count Watchmen as a book when I finished it in March.
So... yeah. I'm adding that now. :)

Joy!
Joy! I just learned that the MacBook Pro that I'm saving up for (goal #56) not only went down in price, but the default RAM doubled! It's now 4gig instead of 2gig, and it starts at $1,699, rather than $1,999! This makes the goal much more reachable. I'm very excited.
I'm also going through and updating my list after I finish posting this. :3

Updates and figures
So, I've done a bit in regards to 101 in the last few days.
I went and saw Star Trek the other day, with John. I might have already written about this, but just in case, that's movie 17/50 for goal #22.
I also figured out how much it'll cost me to buy a brand-new Macbook Pro. With Apple Care, and minus the discount from my boyfriend's sister, it'll be about $2,136. Which is.. a lot. That's figuring in tax, too. I emailed my dad earlier today, asking him about matching me to help me pay for it, since it'll be great for school etc. No answer yet, but my fingers are crossed. If he does, I'll only need to pay $1,068. Which would be.. awesome. That goal (#56) is now in progress, by the way--I put 100$ towards it.
I also finished goal #101, think of 200 options for my next 101 in 1001 list. If you look over there ---->
{under February) you can see a link to it. Tell me what you think of it all.
Also, TimeToast was being a jerk and not letting me in. Hopefully it's working now. I'm going to go check now.

Unexpected goal time!
I completed an unexpected goal!
Goal #16, beat John at a first-person shooter.
He's teaching me how to play Time Splitters, a shooter for the Game Cube. A few weeks ago, he taught me the basics--how to move, aim, shoot, etc. Today, he had me practice some more, learn to use new weapons, and to use their specialties.
I won the first round, but only because he let me, basically. He taught me how to shoot by letting me shoot him. And then when I was one kill from winning, he started playing all-out, killed me like four times, until I finally got the last one.
In the next round, we played to 15 kills again. He let me have two kills, I think, but I got the other 13 by myself. He only killed me six times, I believe. So I won! I won when we were both honestly playing each other.
I'm very proud of myself.

Updates and Counts
Hello! Just a general update.
As I posted, I finished The Golden Compass. I'm most of the way through The Subtle Knife, but not quite. Once I'm done with that, it'll be the first book for my 'Read 5 banned books' goal.
I also watched Les Miserables, which counts towards my 50 previously unseen movies, and I watched Goodbye, Lenin!, which in in German, for anyone who doesn't know. This means that my 'watch/read 10 books/movies in German goal' has officially started. I'd seen it once before, though, so it doesn't count towards my 50 movies goal.
I counted it all up earlier today, and I found that I've got 13 goals completed, and 25 in progress, leaving only 63 completely untouched!
I'm very proud of myself. :3

The Golden Compass
I'd forgotten how awesome this book is. I just finished it for the second time ever; the first being when I was 12 or 13 or so.
This brings my book count up to eight, but it doesn't count towards the five banned books, since I'd read it once before. The next two, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass, will.
