I also released a book about a postman at my local post office (even though the postman was for the royal mail, not the US mail).

Thing 5

5. Read 5 wrapped books

I finished Forgotten Bookmarks by Michael Popek on Thursday. My kindred spirit sent it to me for Christmas in 2012, and I only just got to reading it now. I'm glad I made it one of these special books; I'd forgotten how much I wanted to read it! And I'm certainly glad that I did. it was a beautiful collection of items a bookseller has found inside books over the years. Not only are the photos of the items (postcards, photos, letters, poems, etc.) included, but so are photos of the actual books as well as (sometimes) printed transcriptions of the longer pieces so I didn't have to squint at some of the handwriting. My favorite was the list of adult dance club rules found in a book by Sigmund Freud. The collection, organized by type of item found, was such an enjoyable read.

Thing 14

14. Watch 5 movies at discount theaters or during discount days


Only just realized this technically counts! I saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom last night at the discount theater near my house. I took my dad as a belated Father's Day present (he took me to see the first Jurassic Park movie in theaters when I was in middle school). I had a great time and really enjoyed the movie. It was definitely action-packed, but it also had some food for thought and good nods to tie it all together with the other movies. I'll never not love hearing that music in theaters. Also Blue stole the show, for sure!

Thing 57

57. Finish an adult coloring book



I needed something to do while listening to audiobooks, and I needed to do something with my hands. So I did a coloring page in one of my coloring books. There are 24 pages in the book, and this was the third one I colored (the first two were colored before my list started).

Thing 22

22. Do 5 things off of the list of items that got cut

Item that was cut: See Hamilton

I took this off because, big and significant as it was, I knew I was going to go see it when I put it on the list. But I'm happy to count it as one of the five things for this item!



I had an amazing time! I loved it even more than I thought I would :-)

Thing 21

21. Complete 5 unfinished things from previous lists



List #4
Item 60. Watch all of Smallville

Yesterday, I finished Smallville! After 10 seasons, it definitely wasn't all the best, but it wrapped up pretty well, so I'm glad that I stuck with it. It was a lot of fun seeing so many actors familiar to me show up in major roles. It was also really interesting to see how they worked some of the familiar Superman elements into the show.

Thing 51

51. Go through 33 boxes of my things




It counts as empty if my cat's still in it! I've managed to empty two from my storage room so far.
