it's a convoluted mess
The Books!? Apparently. I didn’t start out with a plan to write a year-in-review for the books I read last year. I had read multiple books in a short period of time and decided to make some notes for myself because the progress was so abnormal for me, but nothing I’d call a review. When I hit double digits, I started fleshing out my notes, but didn’t know if I would actually do anything with… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2025…the Books…
I kind of knew the numbers were going to be on the lower end this year, but I didn’t realize how much lower they were going to be. I spent a lot of time sitting in my video game house (FFXIV) listening to in-game music while staring blankly at the internet (or just the wall). I also spent a lot of time falling down Youtube rabbit holes. And Jinx* has been watching more music videos… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2025…the Music…
I first started this draft on December 2nd. It has been a slog to fill this thing out. Why do it if it feels like such a chore? Tradition. Normalcy. Because at least it’s writing something. 2026 is the Year of the Horse. Guess who’s excited? Jinx and her buddies are ready to party. 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 2021 |… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2025…
I didn’t think I had listened to too much music over the past year, but the numbers are up from the year before. It was a year of the usual suspects plus the Wicked White soundtrack. (Which…features a lot of the usual suspects…) There was a little more variety in top albums, but the top songs were nearly identical. And the top artists never really change too much. In equally shocking news, water is wet…. Keep reading…A Year in Review…2024…the Music…
It is 2025. It has been a quarter of a century since the Y2K panic. Computers didn’t implode the world, but mine did reset to 1980 at the stroke of midnight. Simpler times. 2025 is the Year of the Snake. Steve says HI. 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 2024 was The Year of…Existence… I don’t… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2024…
After the way 2022 ended and 2023 began as far as my music habits, I wasn’t sure what this year’s stats were going to look like. Aside from an excessive amount of plays by The Killers. That much was a given. The results were really not all that surprising—they rarely are—and it was very heavy on The Killers followed mostly by the Wicked White soundtrack. Fall Out Boy, Matchbox Twenty, and Semisonic all put out… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2023…the Music…
