ysobelOne of my groups elsesite was talking about what people were consuming media wise, and I figured I'd dump it here for posterity and in case anyone is interested.
Watching: just started The Good Place. Also want to watch Elementary (which I saw a season of and then got behind because Hulu would only show the most recent five episodes and I was six behind and then got behinder). Recent watches: Blazing Saddles, Over the Garden Wall, occasional episodes of Nailed It!, and rewatches of Mulan and emperors new groove and lilo and stitch.
Reading: between books right now. Last one was Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden. Right now I am doing way too much mindless reddit-ing.
Listening to, words: I'm a bit behind on my podcasts (wait wait don't tell me, sawbones, sword and scale, radio ambulante for when I'm pretending to be serious about Spanish). Also a bit behind on audiobooks, haha. Mostly I've been listening to watership down (especially at night) because a) I know the story so it doesn't matter if I fade in and out, and b) I find the narrator very soothing. I have (mumble) hours of unlistened-to books, but I mainly remember to do audiobooks when I'm in bed and trying to sleep, which makes it hard to listen to new things. For meditation, I love Headspace but most of it is subscription based ($13/mo or $95/year) and I am weirdly reluctant so I just do Insight Timer instead.
Listening to, music: nothing new. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Secret Garden, Scarlet Pimpernel, Phantom of the Opera in German or sometimes Japanese, Chichester Psalms, Pictures At an Exhibition, 1812 Overture, New World Symphony, Beethoven's 6th, the violin concertos I played (Vivaldi and Bach and moxart and Mendelssohn and Bruch), Tchaikovsky and Dvorak serenades for strings, soundtrack to the Wrath of Khan.
Apps, games: merge dragons, word bound (which is a word-guessing game where you're given a set of letters to choose from and the word length, and you guess a word and it indicates which letters are correct and which letters are used but in the wrong place; kind of like Mastermind with words instead of colors or numbers), word cookies (finding all the words made from a set of letters), faraway and its sequels (puzzle game), link 2 power (combine numbers, similar to but not quite like 2048), happy glass, seaport
Apps, other: daylio (mood and activity diary thing, with the option of multiple entries per day), duolingo, walk for a dog (supposedly gives money to an animal shelter of your choice based on how much people walk), GoodReader (pdf reader and annotation of awesomeness)
