Summer Geek Goals

This being my first post on here, I decided to list my geeky goals of the summer. These geeky goals are things I have always wanted to, but just never got around to. So, in no specific order, here is my list:

1. See The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, The Dark Knight, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars in theaters opening weekend, opening day if possible.
2. Read Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy, considered by many to be closest thing to sequel trilogy of Star Wars there will ever be.
3. Watch Joss Whedon's Firefly and Serenity.
4. Complete The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
5. Read Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life.
