A few additions; A few successes

Hey, everyone!  I didn't get to post anything over the past couple of days, but here I am posting!  First of all, I'd like to mention two additions I made to my list.

105. Ride the SheiKra at Busch Gardens.
          I got the idea for adding this roller coaster by watching Bert The Conqueror on the Travel Channel when he "conquered" it.  It looked absolutely horrifying, but so thrilling at the same time!  I can't wait to complete this one!  Just in case you want to take a closer look at this coaster, here's a link!

106. Go to Cuenca, Ecuador.
          My father just went here and said that I would absolutely love it.  He said there were pretty much no Americans there and that it was a completely genuine cultural experience.

I decided that the best way to get started would be number 5, watch the AFI Top 100 movies.  I printed off a list.  I'd been using a variety of lists, but since they change each year, each list is slightly different.  Anyway, I printed one off to use for the duration.  I went through it with a pen to mark out the ones I had already seen.  I was seriously surprised.  I figured I'd had seen at least twenty, but I had only seen twelve.  I feel so lame.

I couldn't have possibly started this at a better time.  Right now my family has several channels for free that we don't usually have.  Retroplex and indieplex are the ones that come to mind, but I know there's a few others.  We've been able to record several AFI movies on it.  For instance, I watched Mutiny on the Bounty last night.  I absolutely loved it!  I never thought of anyone being so cruel as Bligh.

Right now I'm watching Tootsie.  I'm not very far in, but I like it.  It's strange how a movie about a man dressing as a woman could be almost a "girl power" type movie.  At least it seems that way so far.

Well, I'll update later!  Have a great day!
