THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: February 2023

What I watched, listened to, read, & played in February 2023!

In February, two albums clearly defined the soundtrack for this month, & I listened to each of those a NUMBER of times. I’m fairly certain at a total of twenty that this month is the second-most albums I’ve listened to in a month since I started keeping these lists years ago haha. I also watched several more movies, including a rewatch of Little Miss Sunshine prior to a road trip for my sister’s wedding, & this turned out to be really influential!

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.

I also finally read a book for the first time in a while (while still slogging away at a few other various books!) & made more of an effort to watch movies & TV shows, which I think improved my life this month lol.

I continue to enjoy content by Brian David Gilbert & Rusty Quill, & I actually *gasp* played a video game this month– my first time ever playing Sims 4!

This Month’s Media: February 2022

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

February was also a stressful month as well, kind of like January, both for similar reasons & different reasons. I did my best to take care of myself though, & came back into a love of watching movies & shows as a coping mechanism & for self-care & relaxation…although I *did* do this in the most ADHD way possible, ending the month being halfway through literally EIGHT different movies but only having completed watching one movie all month haha. The same with TV shows — I don’t even know HOW many episodes I’m partway through, but it’s a LOT & I only completed watching a handful. I also read children’s books that gave me some nice nostalgia! And as always, I did indeed listen to a lot of history podcasts, because what kind of month would it be if I didn’t haha?

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

I finally got my phone storage situation figured out so I now have access to Spotify again! This meant I was able to not only listen to podcasts again, but also I was able to download Hulu so I could watch more shows & movies as well! I streamed again for the first time in nearly a year as well (which also meant playing a video game for the first time in MONTHS heh ^^; ) Also, I am once more extremely interested in history podcasts & shows haha. It was a weird month for me filled with a lot of stress at times, so I didn’t always take time to take care of myself & consume media.
