More Movie Nights

So, since the last time I wrote about a girl's night, I've had another girl's night, plus we had a Star Wars marathon. So basically I've now seen 31/50 movies, and 3 of 6 Star Wars movies (we watched 4-6). The Star Wars movies count towards my 50, too.

27 - A New Hope

28 - The Empire Strikes Back

29 - Return of the Jedi

30 - Dirty Dancing: Havannah Nights

31 - 300

Apart from that, I counted the other day--23/101 completed, 20/101 in progress (I think).

Day 365 is coming up, too: October 4th.

Movies

I had a girl's night with a couple friends last night. Officially called a "chick flick night." We watched four movies, three of which I had never seen before:
Mamma Mia, Ten-Inch Hero, and The Holiday.

I really liked all three of them, particularly Ten-Inch Hero. It's pretty low-key, with a really sweet story. It also has Jensen Ackles in it, which is always a bonus. (Dean from Supernatural, for those who don't know.)

The other movie we watched was 10 Things I Hate About You, if anyone's interested.

Bluh. The "Move Out" goal is looking more and more appealing. My family is kind of terrible.

CONvergence, 2009

I got home from CONvergence 2009 yesterday afternoon.

Aside from rocking out loud, the con helped me work on a couple of goals:

I wore a skirt on the first day. And if a convention isn't public, I don't know what is.

I also saw two movies I hadn't seen before: Young Frankenstein, and Beetlejuice. I'm not certain of the spelling of the latter--I'm just using what the con wrote in the little grid.

I'll make a post soon saying exactly what is completed and in progress, by the way. I've made quite a bit of progress. :)

NaBloPoMo!

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.
