101 in 1001 Update

Another update to keep me on task! Though I should have posted this a few days ago (and I missed a Music Monday). As Cathy would say, "ACK!" Things are busy at work now, though they should die down at the end of this week.

Since last time, I've finished a novel off the TIME Top 100 List (Tom Robbins' Villa Incognito). (3 - 3)

I've also posted my update (1 -3) and added a few more items to the list (daily calisthenics!). I've also been diligent about posting comments. (7 - 4)

I watched two more foreign movies: Der Untergang (German) and The Killer (Hong Kong). They're well worth watching. I know I'm late to the party on these, but better late than never! I would recommend adding them to your queue if you haven't already seen them.  Der Untergang also is on the IMDB Top 100 list, so that's two birds with one stone.

I also watched another Star Trek episode (5 - 12) and a few MST3K episodes (5 - 6).  I also finished the first Daleks story arc in the first season of Dr. Who. (5 - 13)

I also played a lot of FreeRice. (12 - 6) You should join me there!
