A Daunting Task

I pretty much set myself up for not completing the task that I made for myself in the previous entry.

I watched 200+ movies/tv shows last year and I expected myself to do 10 commentaries a day and also doing longer write-ups for my ten favorites of each. And finishing all of that in two weeks. Sounds difficult enough. Then spring semester started. The daunting part of the whole experience, and probably what really made it futile, is that I only had vague memories of watching a lot of those movies/tv shows. Now it could be a nice exercise in memory and perception to squeeze something out of them. Sadly I think getting anything worthwhile in a short amount of time while balancing school stuff is not possible. SO I am going to start again fresh and attempt the task again with the new stock of movies and tv shows I watch this year.

I do feel this is a failure on my part for not being self-aware enough to see difficulty and likelihood of getting the previous task done. I guess I was too stubborn to see it. Also I guess I am still too stubborn so here I am trying again.

Anyway I am looking forward to trying this fool's errand again and see where this blog takes me.

Said new lists: movies, tv.

Well I wish you luck in you future endeavor. Just out of curiosity about the 200+ movies you watched. What genera was the majority. In other words did you watch mostly Horror, action, sci-fi or was it just any movie that raised your fancy?

Thanks, One of these days I need to start a list.

Crap, silly me I added links to both the old movies and tv shows lists.

@Acura_Max: Thanks for the link! :D

@the_referee: Thank you! I really hope I can keep this going. I partly watched movies from my intimidating Movies to Watch list, but mainly I watched stuff from whatever director I was interested at the time or what I was in the mood for/tickled my fancy.

@Arc209: To be honest I don't keep up with a list over 4 pages, but yours is still in the early stages, so I'll make a point to check yours out day to day.

@the_referee: I appreciate it. That's fine by me, I don't blame you. Part of the commentary is for me to get my thoughts down, and the other part, hopefully in some way (intentional or not), it is entertaining/worth it for somebody to read.
