43. Clean my Office
And this one is complete, mostly because I just moved offices. I cleaned out tons of old files and folders, packed up all my stuff and moved to my new office. I still have a few boxes to unpack, but all and all I have a shiny new office (ok, not really shiny. The floor desperately needs to be cleaned). To extend this goal, I'd like to work on keeping my office cleaned and organized and nice looking between now and well, forever. I might sneak a few pictures once I've got something up on the walls.
24. Go on one date per quarter [1/12]
Saturday night, Jessica babysat the twins and Evan so Corey and I could go on a date. She has a goal of babysitting once a month as part of her 101, so I plan to use that time to go on dates (among other things). This time we went to Chabuka's International Grill in Webster. We ordered their full rotisserie, where the waiters come to your table with meat on skewers and cut you off a piece to try. They had different types of beef, lamb, turkey, pork, etc. They also had fried alligator, duck, shrimp, and sausage. For non-meats, there was cheese rolls and grilled pineapple. Included with the rotisserie is a buffet, which I used to stock up on a large serving of veggies. Finally, the meal also came with a dessert sampler of mini-cheesecakes. The dessert was excellent. Corey and I talked the whole meal. I find that when we do go on dates we always seem to have really interesting conversation. Also as part of this date I accomplished...83. Try 10 new wines [1/10]
another goal. We ordered a bottle of wine that we'd never tried before. Louis Latour Pinot Noir. It was described a soft and fruity and I would have to say it delivered. Corey and I both really liked the wine and found it complemented our food very well. We had no problems finishing off the entire bottle.
89. See 10 movies in the theater
Lastly, we went to see a movie. As I'm exhausted, you'll just have to wait until my next update to find out what I saw! Rest assured, I will write a nice review for you to read.
And now, a week later, here I am editing in the movie I saw. Corey and I went to see The Dark Knight! It was excellent. If I was going to pick a movie for my rare-movie-viewing pleasure, this was a good one. I'm sure everyone reading my 101 has already seen the movie, so I don't plan to post a long detailed review. Only that I found the plot to be engaging, the characters well acted, and Heath Ledger was awesome! The only thing that makes me sad is the end looked ripe for Joker to return and since Heath passed away that won't (and better not) happen. Still, for a final performance he was amazing, and all and all I loved the movie. Plus, Christian Bale makes for a very sexy Batman. I think he's my favorite, but that also might be because I was pretty young when the previous round of Batman Movies came out.
