Summer Project

As if my summer wasn't already busy enough, I've decided to take up another small project to pass the extra time (which may or may not be existent). After copying over some old tapes for the future father in-law, I thought it'd be a fun idea to do the same for my parents. Not only can they have DVDs that'd last longer, I can also edit some of the memories together to make something nice.

So far I've found some dandy things on these tapes! High school band concerts, grade school musicals (where I'm bald), our family vacation to South Dakota, a recreation of Monty Python and my grade school basketball games are just a small sample of some of the treasures I've now unearthed from these ancient tapes. When I get some of these onto my computer I'll share them with you! For now, you'll just have to strain your eyes to read the labels on the tapes.

Summer Movie List

Since I've already managed to knock one of my books off my Summer Reading List (Welcoming the Stranger), I think it's time to submit a short list of movies that I want to check out over the next couple months too.

I borrowed a few movies from my buddy Mike (The Kingdom, The Host and How to Train Your Dragon) which I should probably check out and mail back to him. Karin and I also have a list we want to watch together too (Australia, Breakfast Club, Chariots of Fire and Wolverine).

How can I NOT watch this?? Matt Damon is in it!

And then there's a handful of movies I just want to see because they look interesting. Mind you, this is an abbreviated list, but these are ones I intend to watch over the next few months.

- Battle: Los Angeles
- Super 8
- Source Code
- The Adjustment Bureau
- Unknown
- 127 Hours
- True Grit
- The Fighter
- The King's Speech
- Unstoppable
- The Social Network
- The Town

I think that's a good enough list for now. These are mostly recent movies which I've wanted to watch and not had time or ones that friends/family have seen and recommended. Have you seen any of these? Any additional ones you think I should check out?
