annual media list

[wilderabbit]

It's been so long since I posted anything I almost forgot how! Sometimes I wish I had documented more of the last three years and sometimes I'm really glad I didn't. Perhaps I'll have time to sit down for a bit of reflection soon since the weather looks to slap us upside the head yet again later this week. We hope to start looking for a house together this spring (?) so the year could be a very exciting and busy one.

In the meantime, here is the annual book & movie list. I fell just short of my 40 book goal and way over on films. I should be ashamed to admit that this is in addition to keeping up with our regular shows like Survivor, "Heroes", and Lost while also taking in entire series like Six Feet Under. Without a house, spouse and dogs, I have more time on my hands and this is what Greg likes to so ... subject to change later this year.
