THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: May 2023

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

I was very busy in May & didn’t really consume a lot of media! My headphones were broken for a lot of the month so I didn’t listen to as many podcasts while working, & my brain was pretty tired each night when I’d go to bed so I didn’t watch a lot of shows or films, & while I started watching several, I lacked the concentration to complete many this month. My mental health wasn’t the best this month, but I really enjoyed the “Cat’s Cafe” book & it helped cheer me up (I’m feeling better now, writing this in June btw!)

THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: April 2023

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

This month, I watched a lot of videos about animation as that’s a new creative area I’m just starting to get into! I also watched some really famous movies I’ve never seen before like The Matrix & Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, many episodes of the podcast Noble Blood, & the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack was clearly my top album of the month haha.

THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: March 2023

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

In March, I watched a ton of episodes of shows, mostly because I started watching lots of animation tutorials! I also listened to way more albums than I thought I did, & listened to far more episodes of Noble Blood than other other podcast this month haha, at 11 episodes. I also watched some amazing & iconic films for the first time, namely The Matrix, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, & also the very aesthetically-pleasing The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

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 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!

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

In September, I still was super into Noble Blood (& still am, it’s so good!) & was very interested in learning things which compelled me to listen to a lot of different podcasts. 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.

THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: August 2022

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

In August, my ability to concentrate was worse than normal, so even while commuting to work I had trouble focusing on podcasts & therefore didn’t listen to many, aside from the two shows my brain decided to hyperfixate on haha. Mostly I just listened to music on shuffle or albums I’ve already heard when I wanted to listen to something.

When my brain decides it’s interested in something, that’s all it cares about listening to, hence the large number of Sawbones & Noble Blood episodes on this list. I must note that my hyperfixation on the Jeeves & Wooster show is in full swing, so I didn’t watch any movies but did watch quite a few episodes of that show because it was the only thing my brain wanted to watch tbh.

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

In July, I had an ear infection in one of my ears (which is now healed thanks to a successful course of antibiotics!) so I could not hear well enough to easily listen to most podcasts, but I did do a lot of listening to albums & listened to SO MANY! June was a record-breaking month for number of albums listened to, but I broke that record again this month.

THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: June 2022

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

In June, I finally watched Little Miss Sunshine for the first time, which I’ve heard a lot of good things about but never had a chance to watch. I didn’t get to listen to the most podcasts, but I did listen to the most albums I’ve ever listened to in one month since I’ve started keeping these lists! 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!

*Things marked with the asterisk mean it’s something I’ve read/watched/listened to before, everything else is new to me! 

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?
