This Month’s Media: January 2022

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.

What I watched, listened to, read, & played in December 2021!

December was a busy month for me, so I didn’t get to consume a lot of media. I also didn’t have the Spotify app on my phone for most of the month due to phone storage reasons, so I listened to FAR less podcasts than normal, but I read a few more books than average including some amazing graphic novels like Nimona, which I’ve never read before but ended up adoring! 🙂

What I watched, listened to, read, & played in November 2021!

Lol, look at me actually posting this list on the last day of the month for probably the first time ever! ^^; (not like a month late like usual haha) This month though I actually watched a lot of movies! I got into action movies again, & also finally watched some films I’d heard a lot about & which I’ve often seen referenced online, like Die Hard, The Fifth Element, & Office Space! I’m really happy with the selection of media I’ve consumed this month tbh!

  2. I played a TTRPG (Call of Cthulhu, to be specific~) on stream for the first time with some friends on October 31 but forgot to include it in that month’s list, so once that’s uploaded to YouTube I’ll be posting the link here! I played a butcher named Etienne Olivier!
  3. I also played D&D on a stream for the first time as part of a game for Wesslhausen’s “TERF Wars” week of charity streams for Trans Week of Awareness! I played a half-elf rogue butler named Albert “Bertie” Wilson in a game inspired by Wacky Races & DM’d by Wesslhausen!
  4. In another D&D stream for the same cause, I played a an epic 18th level half-elf fighter named Quigley Barrows in a oneshot DM’d by Asynthetic20!

What I watched, listened to, read, & played in October 2021!
