That might be one too many exclamation points... what do you think?
If you look at the list in the side bar you'll see I sort of crossed of part of #55. It's kind of cheating though.
#55: Play a Wii - or buy a Wii, and then play it.
Sunday night we went to Best Buy. And they have a Wii display... and I played it. But only for about 30 seconds of actual playing... the other 3 minutes were spent trying to figure out how to move the wheel thingy so I could actually start the game. (Which I'm pretty sure was MarioKart.) And there were Best Buy guys standing behind us making me feel all weird, so once I crashed the first time I moved on. Stupid Best Buy Guys. But... it makes me feel better to have something at least partially crossed off my list. I won't cross it off all the way until I get a whole minutes worth of play time though. That totally seems fair.
I also started on #82 last night, by starting the first part of Jane Austen: The Complete Novels, which is Sense and Sensibility. I'm not far yet at all, though. In my defense I first read the introduction by Karen Joy Fowler (who wrote The Jane Austen Book Club - movie of choice for #83). Normally I totally skip introductions, but it was actually pretty interesting. I may decide to read the actual book before watching the movie. No promises.
And I have to double check... but I might have to come up with a new #19. I thought I had to finish staining the picnic table still, but now for some reason I think maybe I did actually finish it already... Was I going to do a second coat or something? I'm not sure. But I will check out the table and if it's already done I obviously won't count that.
Look at me making progess! Maybe I have half a chance after all.

Yay, a list update! :) I'm glad you got to mark something at least part-way off. Woo!
You know, I have a Wii... and MarioKart... so anytime you're in the area :)
