suddenly: a post!
LIVEJOURNAL! I am using you. >:( here is a media round-up for January/February 2011, because it seems like a convenient way as any to keep track!
(* = rewatch/reread!)
Books
1. The Golden Compass*, Philip Pullman
2. The Subtle Knife*, Philip Pullman
3. The Amber Spyglass*, Philip Pullman
4. Sabriel, Garth Nix
5. Lirael, Garth Nix
and then a couple dumb books for school you guys don't actual want to hear about (Changes in the Land & An Explorer of Changing Horizons, oooooo)
Comics
1. Zombies Calling, Faith Erin Hicks
2. The War at Ellsmere, Faith Erin Hicks
Movies
1. Newsies*
2. I Love You Man*
3. True Grit*
4. Tangled*
5. Cars
6. Whisper of the Heart
7. Only Yesterday
8. Porco Rosso
9. Kiki's Delivery Service*
10. Whisper of the Heart* (insta-comfort movie?!)
11. Mulan*
12. Lilo & Stitch*
13. Cats Don't Dance*
also, compulsively rewatching bts featurettes on Disney DVDs, because they inexplicably comfort me (probs because they were my sick day jam in junior high, now I associate them with no school and eating soup and sleeping all day on my couch at home, which is the greatest couch.)
Theatre
1. Starship, The Center On Halsted, Chicago, 02.17.11, 7:00 PM
2. the MTV recording of Legally Blonde: The Musical* (twice in a row) (whatever)
Televison
all of Doctor Who series 5, except I still need to watch the Christmas special (at the very beginning of the year)
Digimon - 2.01-2.13, rewatch with meredyd, because we are Cool Kids (always.)
Parks & Rec - 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, a couple of rewatches of season 2 episodes, and I watched 3.02 probably twenty zillion times (CHICKEN SOUP ;_;)
Community - 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.17
30 Rock - 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15, 5.16
the Valentine's Day Office episode, randomly
HIMYM - 6.13, 6.15, 6.16 (can Marshall's family stay forever? I love them.)
Glee - Fuck you Darren Criss and your stupid face, all the new episodes, WHATEVER. but I am just saying that like 60% of the Valentine's Day episode was genuinely enjoyable, a new high for Glee. of course, it immediately plunged right back down to being 95% terrible again, so whatever.
Every dumb awards show (lol this awards season)
and I have listened to A TON of Creative Screenwriting and Spline Doctors (interviews with animators) podcasts...because? IDK. there are times I wish my tastes aligned with actual fandom's in any way, but whatev.
I'm not doing too bad, thus far. I need to read more outside of school tho, ugh.
