Monthly Update - May 2016

RESOLUTIONS:

1. No Cancer - All clear! Next CT is in July. So we're halfway through the year on this one.

2. Stay on budget. I bought Night Manager from AMC. That's 6 of my 12 seasons, which means I'm slightly past my goal of one a month, but I'm sure I'll have a quiet month or two during the summer. I got Overwatch for my birthday, but that was a gift, so I've still only bought two games myself.

POP CULTURE GOALS:

1. Read 15 Books (3)
  • None this month, but I got two for my birthday I've been wanting to read
2. Read 100 Graphic Novels (46)
  1. Sensational She-Hulk by John Byrne
  2. Cleopatra in Space Vol 3
  3. We Stand on Guard HC
  4. Daredevil by Waid & Samnee Vol 5 HC
  5. Ms. Marvel Vol 2 HC
