What I've done this week! XD

So, here are my first updates! XD

34. Watch 26 movies I’ve never seen starting with each letter of the Alphabet

So, I watched "Splinter" this week!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031280/
http://www.splinterfilm.com/Home.html

It's a pretty cool horror movie about a parasitic organism that takes over a creatures body in order to absorb its nutrients. The organism itself looks like extremely sharp spikes that can break apart into very tiny pieces [hence splinters]. What was really cool about the movie is that it was shot in Oklahoma! XD It's not everyday that something awesome comes out of this desolate wasteland of a state!



20. Buy/install a game that will help with my typing speed

I also started playing a typing tutor-type game!

http://www.powertyping.com/qwerty/lessonsq.html

While this program is less game and more tutor, I actually enjoy it more than a lot of the more game-oriented programs out there. This one actually makes you more comfortable with where the letters are placed on the keyboard, and use repetition to help you memorize their locations. As opposed to typing words that fly at you in a very nerve-wrecking and intensive speed. >.<



39. Read 1 book per week

This week, I started reading "Ghost Girl!" XD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostgirl
http://www.ghostgirl.com/

The book is essential about a girl who wishes to be popular...but dies in a very anti-climactic manner before anyone even really knows she existed! Truthfully, the book is a pretty light read [you can buy it at Wal-mart, if that tells you anything], but I still really liked it. Each chapter has little quotes at the beginning, and the very first one is by Oscar Wilde. From there the quotes range from Siouxsie Sioux to The Cure to Sylvia Plath...so, naturally I had to buy it. What can I say? I'm a stereo-type! XD

I also read volume 13 of Ouran High School Host Club and volume 23 of Tsubasa, but since it takes me like half an hour to read a graphic novel, I won't count them for my list! XP


94. Let 10 of my favorite bloggers know I love their blog

http://www.dailycoyote.net
http://craftastrophe.net/

Daily Coyote is about a woman living in Wyoming with a cat, a dog, and a rescued coyote....yep...that's kinda it! XP There are lots of cute pictures, but I really liked the Q&A section of the blog. She has many wonderful insights into the lives of the animals she keeps watch over, and has much to share from them!

Craftastrhope is an amazing site that posts interesting crafts from sites such as Etsy....and by 'interesting', I mean sometimes they can be just failure-ific, or appalling, or absolutely horrifying! *shivers* Unicorn Orgies... *shivers*
