How well did I do with my 2019 goals<\/a>?\u00a0 I don’t know!\u00a0 I’m going to find out as I type this up!<\/p>\n

Books to Read<\/strong><\/p>\n

I read two books, which is a large improvement, but still desperately sad.\u00a0 I read and discussed Ender’s Game<\/span> with my daughter, which basically should win this category for life.\u00a0 I also read a Discworld<\/em> book, The Light Fantastic<\/span>.<\/p>\n

TV Seasons to Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Haven’t seen before:<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/4.\u00a0 I finished Cheers<\/em>, DuckTales<\/em> remains on my shelf, and The Flintstones<\/em> et al. may as well just be a running joke at this point.\u00a0 A tired, sad, running, joke.<\/p>\n

Have seen before, but haven\u2019t yet watched my BDs\/DVDs:<\/em><\/p>\n

3\/3.\u00a0 One category at 100%.<\/p>\n

Have seen before:<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s say 0.5\/2.\u00a0 I watched NYPD Blue<\/em> through season 9, since that’s what I had on DVD.\u00a0 I got seasons 10 and 11 for Christmas, and I’ll pick up season 12 at some point and watch them this year.<\/p>\n

Currently airing\/will air this year:<\/em><\/p>\n

Of the ones that count (Homeland<\/em> season 8 was pushed to 2020), 8\/8.\u00a0 Two categories at 100%!\u00a0 I shall endeavor not to let it go to my head.<\/p>\n

Movies to Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n

From last year [2018]<\/em>:<\/em><\/p>\n

4\/4.\u00a0 Three categories at 100%!\u00a0 I am on a roll.<\/p>\n

From previous years, already seen or not:<\/em><\/p>\n

29\/29.\u00a0 My head is swelling.<\/p>\n

New this year:<\/em><\/p>\n

The New Mutants<\/em> was pushed back (again) to 2020.\u00a0 Of those that remain, 10\/14.\u00a0 I missed Frozen II<\/em>, Jumanji: The Next Level<\/em>, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part<\/em>, and Toy Story 4<\/em>.<\/p>\n

BDs\/DVDs I [try to] watch at least once a year:<\/em><\/p>\n

25\/25.<\/p>\n

BDs\/DVDs I [try to] watch at least once every other year:<\/em><\/p>\n

8\/9, having missed The Muppet Christmas Carol<\/em>.\u00a0 December wasn’t my best month ever.<\/p>\n

BDs\/DVDs I haven\u2019t watched since 2015 or before<\/em>:<\/p>\n

This list was long, at 139 entries.\u00a0 I think I watch 89, giving me a 64% success rate.\u00a0 That’s what, a D?<\/p>\n

Video Games to Play<\/strong><\/p>\n

First-time Plays:<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/4.\u00a0 I started Crash Bandicoot<\/em> and quickly grew frustrated at how hard it was.\u00a0 I completed the Pokedex in Pokemon Let’s GO! Eevee<\/em> though.<\/p>\n

Replays:<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/1.\u00a0 I played the heck out of Breath of the Wild<\/em>, again.\u00a0 I am so excited for\u00a0the sequel.<\/p>\n

Other<\/strong><\/p>\n

I actually did four (4) (FOUR) poetism commentaries in September, and started on a fifth one.\u00a0 I think I only have around 20 left to go.\u00a0 Perhaps I will finish this decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
