Media Masterpost

Apr 29, 2012 03:15

Contained within this post is a list of all of the books, magazines, comics, movies, television box sets, and books on tape (and now albums, too!) that I own but have not yet read/watched/listened to.


I am posting this here in order that I may have some public record of these things that may shame me into actually watching, reading, and listening to new things instead of just revisiting the same stories over and over.  I will update the list with any new media I acquire and cross off entries move entries to the Achievement Masterpost as I finish them (or give up on them for good), adding a review if the mood strikes me.

(This post replaces the post from 23 April that I briefly used to keep track of my 2012 Friends of the Library loot as I finished it.)

(This list includes movies and books I have been given over the years that I have had little interest in.  Just because it's here doesn't mean it's necessarily something I'm chomping at the bit to read/watch.  I'm looking at you, copy of The Pink Panther that the hermana gave me for my birthday years and years ago because it has Kevin Kline.)

(The above parenthetical aside, the vast majority of the books and movies here are things that I am very interested in, so when you inevitably see something listed that you gave to me at some point in the distant past, do not think it's on the list because I have been avoiding it.  There are things on here that I spent months tracking down, only to leave them on my bookshelf for four years because other things came up.  One of these books has actually been on my bookshelf unread for twenty years.  No lie.)

Now that I've gotten all of the disclaimers out of the way, I can post this, and then make some headway on crossing things off the list.  (I kind of cheated by putting The Batman: Season 4 on when I knew full well I was going to finish it tonight, but whatevs.  It counts.)

World's Worst Musical

Oh, jeeze, I bought more books today.  Watch me ruin my whole thing. (2 May 2012)

In cleaning my room, I have found a few more things that I had completely forgotten about, and I realized just how many albums I have bought that I haven't listened to all the way through and threw them on the list, too. (27 May 2012)

I hit the maximum data capacity on this post this evening, so instead of crossing things off this list, I will now be moving completed entries to the Achievement Masterpost.  OMG, this is ridiculous.  (23 July 2012)

shows i haven't been watching, ...if you have no shame, movies, litgeek funness, comics
