101 in 1001, the redux

So, June is officially the end of my first "101" in 1001... and while I didn't finish it all, I'm pretty pleased with how I did. You can check it out HERE. End tally:  54 done, 7 still in progress, 10 to be completed soon, and 8 that just aren't going to happen right now.

But, I'm going to go for it again!! So here is my new 101 in 1001 list, with a completion date of March 2014!!
(Right now I'm 7 short... any suggestions? Also, I'll need your help for #88.)


Things in green are the items that are in progress.
Things in blue are completed items.
