Two updates:
34. Read 30 books and write reviews in LibraryThing for them - I just finished Then We Came to the End last night. My review? Very funny, especially if you work in Corporate America. The author has taken a crappy situation and turned it into entertainment. You really feel like you're one of the gang - a great read.
Also: 44. Watch 101 movies and keep track of the list - I watched Autumn in New York and A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story on TV, both ok, neither great.

A bunch of updates
I decided to go through the list and see if there were any I had worked on or completed that I forgot to report on. And indeed, I found a bunch:
10. Increase the amount I'm contributing to my 401K by 2% - Check! I did this last month, I believe. I'm surprised I only said 2%, as I plan on going up another 2% before the 1001 days are up. But, I only said 2, so... done!
13. Keep my desk clean for one week straight - Depending on your definition, yes, I did this. Regardless, I've kept my desk a lot cleaner than usual since I moved cubes a few months ago. So.
5. lose 5 pounds - Done! Not as hard as I thought it would be, actually. I didn't think this one would actually happen.
16. Go to the dentist twice a year - Gone once this year (in May)
19. Go one month without any soda - Didn't drink any soda in May - another one I thought was going to be really hard and wouldn't actually happen, but it did.
47. Try 5 new restaurants - John and I ate at Beau's, the restaurant in the Hilton near our house (we only had appetizers, but they were really yummy!)
58. Try 30 new recipes - not sure if it counts, but I found a recipe for cold Macaroni and Tuna Salad - which is actually something I thought of on my own and have made in the past, but this one added hard-boiled eggs! So I made it, and it's yummy.
65. Design & build a website for John's business, teach him how to use it - I did this very early on in the list, but didn't mark it off because there were a few things I wanted to clean up, but I'm not going to do any more work on it until John starts using it, which he hasn't, so I blame it on him. :)
72. Learn how to put on make-up to my satisfaction - Done:
89. Get my bike fixed - Done.
90. Donate all the clothes that I don't wear anymore - Done.
