watch all movies on AFI's 100 Best movies list (read all 3 entries…)
Nearly done 16 months ago

I’m down to:
Easy Rider
Patton
The Jazz Singer
A Place in the Sun
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Birth of a Nation
The African Queen

...and I’m so excited about finishing up that they’re all at the top of my Netflix queue. The Facebook app Checklist of the Day featured the AFI 100 recently, and it was amazing to me how many more of these I’d seen than everyone I sent it to.

Also surprising: how much I love the Charlie Chaplin flicks that I otherwise never would have watched.

Next up will be tackling the ten movies I haven’t seen from the new, revised AFI list. Then, maybe on to all Oscar best picture winners.



save $5000 by the end of 2008
Inspired 18 months ago

I saw this on a friend’s goal list for the year, and got inspired. It is going to be tough, but it will certainly be a good tough. A much better and more concrete goal than simply “make a budget” or “save for a house.”



See Penn and Teller in Las Vegas
Awesome! 23 months ago

P&T were just as great as I thought they’d be. Cool bonus: I hadn’t known they signed autographs and posed with the audience after the show. They really do rock.

So worth doing, I’m going to do it again next time I’m in Vegas!
