I’m half-way through The Sun Also Rises. I’m really quite enjoying it.

How I did it: Had a trip to Italy coming up, so I saved, price shopped on the internet, and bought a Nikon D60 from Beach Camera for a great price. Then went to Italy, and took amazing photographs. Read how I did it…
Clicked off “Go Indoor Rock Climbing” off of my list this evening. It was totally awesome and exhilarating.
When I decided to complete the list, I had seen 54 of 100. After watching “Duck Soup” this evening, I’ve made it through all 100. Some dogs⦠some new favorites. It was most interesting to see which older films still held up, and which ones clearly offered something edgy at the time, but whose time had evidently passed. The enthusiasm I felt as I broke into the last 15 was great, and the sensation of completion is awesome.
