2011 part two

just stuff i watched/read to this year:)

so i had wanted to finish fifty novels this year but i didnt quite make it. i decided to count rereads in the end and with those included managed to read forty-eight out of fifty, which isn't too bad :) i read a lot of chuck palahniuk and dennis lehane, both very great authors. with movies, not including rewatches, i watched 116 out my 100 goal. holy crap. i seem like such a loser. i was watching a lot of casey affleck, joaquin phoenix, and norman reedus stuff this year--very great actors you should check out. ironically enough, i spent new year's eve watching walk the line :) that film is amazing. joaquin phoenix and reese witherspoon are brilliant in it. 

under the cut because they're long lists
