These were okay. I enjoyed the cinematography of casino, but mobster films aren’t all that appealing to me.

How I did it
It made me
proud 
How I did it: I attended a once weekly class at the Taoist Tai Chi Center. I often felt guilt after a missed class, or just before class knowing that I did not practice during the week. This was the third or fourth time that I started this class. But I made a decision that arriving at the class was a success. Read how I did it…
It made me
grateful
How I did it: The injury was likely a small tear to my meniscus, or an injury to the ligament . The pain was located on the interior lower portion of my kneecap.Mostly, just time. It took a long time to heel. It took MONTHS to get a referral for Physical Therapy from my doctor.

Picked last of my Himrod grapes on 10/31.

One priority for me is to be able to eat fresh fruit year round, as far as practical. So it is important for me to know when my fruit is available.
Also, my other grape vine (an unidentified red, seeded grape) had its last fruit picked just at the time of the fruit show.
Also, my Issiah kiwi is now ripe, and I have been eating some for at least a few weeks now.
Spirited Away, The Day the Earth Stood Still

I watched these two about a week ago.
I also watched some films that I had thought were from the list, but when I checked, they weren’t. (Could they have dropped off while I was waiting for the film to come in from my library requests?)
In particular, Buckaroo Banzai was very tedious for me to watch. However, I did enjoy the Korean film titled ‘Save the Green Planet!’ which had a very similar plot.
I will need to be more careful about whether a film is from my IMDB list before watching it.
Also, I have been lazy for the past week or two, and I had not filled my library hold queue. Even with my queue filled, I am lucky to receive two or three films per week.
