THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: November 2022

What I watched, listened to, read, & played in November 2022!

November was an amazing month in a lot of ways & a traumatic month in other ways (but I’m okay now!). Due to the latter part of that, I think I spent a lot of time just listening to my playlists on shuffle instead of listening to podcasts or albums (I honestly don’t remember lol) so I ended up listening to much less of either of those things than usual. I did however end up watching more episodes of shows than I usually do, & enjoyed many shows about science & animals!

I also discovered my love for the Oceans trilogy of heist films & ended up watching all the films in the series this month (upon which I realized I’d actually seen the second one before, with no context from the first film so it didn’t make much sense like a decade ago when I watched it). I also played some board games for once, & rediscovered my love for Tetris-type games by playing Pentix Nova after the traumatic event because I’ve heard Tetris helps your brain process stressful things better.

THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: October 2022

What I watched, listened to, read, & played in October 2022!

The main thing my brain hyperfocused on this month was reptiles & amphibians, as evidenced by the sheer amount of herptile-related content on this month’s list! My brain wanted to think about & learn about little else, & as far as podcasts only was really interested for some reason in non-fiction, so I also enjoyed a lot of episodes of Noble Blood.
