Mini-Regina Piles: March Edition

One month ago, I started a challenge to myself: making my way through my massive pop culture collection, one tiny Regina pile at a time. I gave myself what I thought was a reasonable yet achievable challenge: four movies, five television seasons, and eight comics collections. Big enough to be daunting, but not so big that I would just give up on it. My plan was to update all through February with every item I removed from my pile, but being out of top blogging shape, I managed to review exactly zero items on this site. But I did give it a go, and I wanted to take a moment to examine my progress and give myself another challenge for March. So, first things first: how did I do?

Not terribly, I have to say. I got through all but one of the comics, and finished two of the television series and made small dents in two more. The movies...I'll get to those in a second. But here's what I finished in February (with some links to the reviews I did manage to post on Goodreads):

• Gon, Volume 3
• NewsRadio, Season 5
• Mad Men, Season 2
• Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus
• Superman: Last Son
• Nexus Archives, Volume 1
• Absolute Planetary, Volume 1
• American Flagg: The Definitive Collection, Volume 1
• Scud The Disposable Assassin: The Whole Shebang

And the movies...well, I didn't watch any of them. Partly for a reason that I'm going to keep secret for another week or so, and partly because I watched over a dozen movies from my PVR in the month of February. (Oh, Turner Classic Movies, you are an amazing resource, but it is impossible to watch all the movies I impulsively record.) Still: I read 7 of my 8 comics, and over 100 pages of the massive Haunted Tank phonebook, and cleared off some shows that had been sitting unfinished for months. So I'm putting one in the wins column.

For March I want to continue to challenge myself and stretch a little bit, while taking advantage of the increased amounts of free time (32nd birthday, Spring Break, slightly reduced late worknights). So I'm keeping all the incomplete items from last month, as well as more than enough new ones to make up for things:

• Kelly's Heroes *
• Three The Hard Way *
• Angels With Dirty Faces *
• The Aviator *
• For a Few Dollars More
  
• Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 1 *
• Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Season 1 **
• The Dick Van Dyke Show, Season 1 **
• Homicide: Life On The Street, Season 3
• Bones, Season 2
  
• Showcase Presents: The Haunted Tank, Volume 1 **
• Superman: Escape from Bizarro World
• R.E.B.E.L.S., Volume 1: The Coming of Starro
  
• Put The Book Back On The Shelf: A Belle & Sebastian Anthology
  
• 20th Century Boys Vol. 3
• Awesome: The Indie Spinner Rack Anthology
  
• Marvel Boy
• Sin City: A Dame To Kill For (Volume 2)
  

* Continued from February, untouched
** Continued from February, unfinished

I'll update more regularly as I get through them, and probably post a picture of my pile in the next few days. But that's enough to do me for now. I really hope I can tackle EVERYTHING on this list, because I have plans for this little experiment. That's right, I have even MORE stuff I want to pile on. Because apparently I have way more free time than I think I do.
