BOOKMARK: 2022 VIEWING LIST

Because once again I started off the year with my BFF, a Disney+ TV show, and Forged in Fire.

[Past: 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21]

As usual, I rounded all TV episodes (whether live or DVD) up to the nearest half-hour mark and all movies to two hours total, then added in repeats. I still saw only 3 movies in theater during the year, one of those at a drive-in; but at home, I indulged in a lot of reality TV, Disney+, Discovery/History Channel, and comfort rewatches. With the delayed 2020 Olympics added in, that came to a rousing total in 2021 of 945.5 total hours of on-screen entertainment (2.59 hours/day) - well up from 2020's total.

Historically, since I started tracking, my average has ranged between 1.62 hours/day and 2.52 hours/day, but roughly two hours/day has been the sweet spot. Even with my otherwise busy schedule from starting to commute again half the week, keeping up my reading, and roughly doubling my writing from the prior year, I still ended on the high side of average in "2020 Take 2". It'll be interesting to see what 2022 (Hopefully not "2020 Take 3") brings!

GIFTS WRITTEN FOR ME: JANUARY - DECEMBER 2021

And the New Year's journal reset continues. :) Here are the non-anon gifts I received in 2021, leaving out only those archive-locked or where the authors chose to disable the share feature. I was very blessed in that respect this year!
