Hooptober: Trip 6s going all in against a dead draw
Ok...here we go again. Third time's lucky for me (I hope). Last year I think I faired alright considering the fact that I had an eleven day trip to Europe at the beginning of October and came home just in time to purchase and move into a new house. I've got the Europe trip going on again, but no immediate plans to move, so hopefully I can finally see this thing all the way through for once. I am, however, going to start on Friday the 13th of September (because...well...you know) and I'm going to give myself until the 9th of November to finish. I'm doing this because I can't catch any movies during my eleven days in Europe and my schedule just will not allow me to catch a movie a day in the interim. I'll try to finish by the end of October, but, as I tend to quit once I realize finishing the job is impossible, I'm hoping a final finish date of November 9th will keep me plugging along.
