Happy new year! 2020 is dead. May it stay that way.
I know time is a social construct but it's nice to get to bury 2020.
I'm mostly just waiting for new Doctor Who so I figured I'd take the opportunity to do my yearly media roundup post and also take the opportunity to shoutout Yuletide -- I both wrote and received in the same fandom, the teenage love trilogy from Taylor Swift's folklore album; soupytwist wrote me the absolutely gorgeous the hope of it all taking on the story from the perspective of the narrator of august, and giving her so much room to grow and breathe and connect, and everyone should read it; I got to write I Don't Know Anything (But I Know I Miss You) for hernameinthesky exploring things from James's side and indulging in my feelings a bit.
Every year I do this media roundup of stuff I've read/listened to/watched the last year. Why? I don't know. It interests me. I like patterns.
In 2020 I read 173 books, exceeding my Goodreads goal of 150 books.
( my year in books )
In music news, last.fm informs me that I listened to 6547 scrobbles in 2019.
( my year in music )
According to trakt.tv I watched 776 hours of TV this year! They don't give me any other stats and that may not be accurate because I don't pay for their app, but it's good enough!
( my year in TV )
I have literally no idea how many movies I watched this year. The only ones that stand out are the ones I watched most recently. Go watch Wolfwalkers (available on Apple TV), it's amazing and Cartoon Saloon needs the support. I liked the Prom (available on Netflix), but if you're not super into musicals you probably won't be into it. I finally got the chance to see The Band's Visit after loving the musical adaptation; the original movie is just as gorgeous. Oh, and I saw Hamilton! Like everyone else.
As far as live theatre goes, before Covid19 shut everything down, I did see the national tours of Waitress and The Play The Goes Wrong at the very beginning of the year. (I was scheduled to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as well. Tickets were rescheduled, and then cancelled. Can't say I was surprisedor particularly that that was the last show of my season tickets.) I loved both shows, but probably loved The Play That Goes Wrong slightly more. The way the set is used? *chef's kiss*
One day there will be widespread live theatre again. I'm sure.
Happy new year, and may we all survive to see it through to another one!
