2009 Media-In-Review
Last year I kept a list of the media I consumed over the course of the year, and it was awesome. This year not only did I not keep a list, I went long stretches without reading or watching anything, and not much of what I did catch was memorable. Still, if I flip through my bookshelf and blogs I can probably figure out some of what I read and watched for the first time in 2009, so here's a partial list anyway. Let's chat.

Musicals/Music:
**Sweeney Todd In Concert
**Legally Blonde: The Musical
**A Very Potter Musical
*The Decemberists: Hazards of Love
(In this case, the double-asterisk means I loved it and watched it dozens and dozens of times. Part of the reason I didn't see very many movies this year; I saw the same movies, relentlessly.)
Books:
**The Big Sleep
*The Demon's Lexicon
*The Middle of Nowhere
Cell
(Rereads include: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Traveling Showmen, most of the Narnia series. I half-finished a whole lot of things and read at least two anthologies whose titles I can't remember. But really, most of my reading time went to comics this year. Again.)
