Happy New Year! May 2022 be better than 2021. The bar is on the floor, so hopefully we are able to step over it and not trip and fall.
I'm waiting for new Doctor Who to air and also to celebrate the roommate's birthday, so what better time to post my yearly media roundup?
According to last.fm, I listened to 10,686 tracks scrobbles in 2021, an average of 29 songs per day. I listened to 750 different artists, 666 different albums, and 4,793 distinct songs.
( my year in music )
In 2021, I read 206 books, exceeding my goal of 150.

I don't track what I watch on TV anymore so we're going to be relying on my questionable memory for this next part!
( my year in TV )
Trying to remember what movies I watched this year is an exercise in futility. Some standouts, though: In The Heights, which I've been waiting AGES for and which lived up to the hype; tick tick...BOOM!, ditto (I cried buckets); the Come From Away proshot, which also made me cry. Other than that? No idea. I know I've seen more movies than that! But what they were, whether they were this year or last year or 2016, no clue.
No live theatre for me this year, although Broadway and tours opened up (with multiple cancellations and early closures and just...yeah). One day.
It's been a weird year. I started two new jobs. The first was a temporary position, although turned out to be more temporary than I thought going on. The second will hopefully be permanent; I really like it so far, although it's only been a few weeks (and after two weeks of training I left for a week to go see my family for Christmas! they were very understanding. I was very nervous about traveling in these Covid times, but I took all due precautions -- 3 doses of Pfizer, everyone in my family is vaxxed, double masked in all public areas -- and I have now returned home Covid free). It's very nice to be out of customer-facing positions because I really hated the job I had before where I got yelled at by customers all day. Now I go all day either without talking to anyone or just occasionally talking to my coworkers. It's SO NICE. I'd still rather be working in theatre but, you know, health insurance and job security and Covid. We make choices about priorities.
I still owe you a couple Doctor Who posts, one about the two PDAs I've read most recently and one about a couple Big Finish audios I want to talk about, but I've just been very busy and stressed with things and I want to make sure I can actually do them justice. They're coming. Sometime. Soon. Promise.
