Media Consumed in 2021

Books: 248
Not bad! And my Goodreads count is 258, which is closer to accurate than usual. (I often include some short stories on Goodreads, since I figure the ratings are good for the authors.) In any case, my CYRT posts are available for your perusal.

Comic books: 61
Better than last year! Part of this is because I subscribed to Comixology Unlimited for a few months. I dropped it recently, though--I realized I should probably make sure I've read everything I already own before I get caught up with other stuff. I'll get it done eventually.

Concerts: 1
Our Troubled Times, bah! But the concert I did go see was a doozy: Cat Power, Garbage, and Alanis Morissette!



Conferences: 3
Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (virtual)
Advanced Placement Reading (virtual)--this isn't a conference, but "conference" is the closest analog, so.
Conference on College Composition & Communciation (#4C21 virtual)

Festivals: 2
Sundance Film Festival (virtual)
Six Bridges Literary Festival (virtual)

Movies: 155
Wooooooooo!

Readings: 32
These are almost all book readings--I only did one full festival (that is, more than a couple of the scheduled events), but overall, not too shabby!

Theatre: 10
I finally started going to the theatre again! I've been lax the past couple of years, partially because of Our Troubled Times and partially because of my own troubled times. It was nice to get back to feeling like a theatre kid again.
