2006.XII.22 Night in the MuseumThere were also a handful of books that got started, but never finished. May try to revisit some of those in 2007. All in all, the books finished were lower than I would have liked; the DVDs watched were higher than expected considering the amount of TV I watch on average (though that dropped a bit this year too); the theatrical list was smaller than some previous years, but with a newborn and other obligations, averaging one a month really isn't too shabby; don't recall if there was a February Beans show or not, or if I missed it for some reason...
