SEEN, READ, PLAYED 2022

Once again taking a page from Steven Soderbergh and kept track of track of every movie (48), episode of television (1,304), play (15) and musical (7) seen, every book read (56), concert attended (3) and video game (5) finished (not to mention all of the scripts I read for work or podcast episodes I listened to, which were not included because enough is enough).

Media consumption shifted up and down from 2021: 6 less movies, 15 more books, 5 less video games, 65 more episodes of TV, 11 more plays, 3 more musicals, and 1 more concert.

SEEN, READ, PLAYED 2021

Once again taking a page from Steven Soderbergh and kept track of track of every movie (54), episode of television (1,239), play (4) and musical (4) seen, every book read (51), concert attended (2) and video game (10) finished (not to mention all of the scripts I read for work or podcast episodes I listened to, which were not included because enough is enough).

The extended pandemic has definitely had an effect on my media consumption, decreasing it in all areas (24 less movie, 4 less books, 1 less video game, and 110 fewer episodes of TV) save for live events – even on plays, up 3 musicals, and up 2 concerts.

SEEN, READ, PLAYED 2020

In spite of the pandemic I continued to be absolutely insane, once again taking a page from Steven Soderbergh and kept track of track of every movie (78), episode of television (1,349), play (4) and musical (1) seen, every book read (55), concert attended (none!) and video game (11) finished (not to mention all of the scripts I read for work or podcast episodes I listened to, which were not included because enough is enough).

The pandemic definitely had an effect on my media consumption, increasing it in some areas (1 more movie, 15 more books, 1 more video game) and decreasing it in others (187 fewer episodes of TV, and a lot fewer live events – down 13 plays, 7 musicals, and 6 concerts).

SEEN, READ, PLAYED 2019

I continued to be, to quote a friend, “the most organized consumer of media” in 2019, once again taking a page from Steven Soderbergh (who, according to Popsugar, I also bear an 83% resemblance to) and kept track of track of every movie (76), episode of television (1,536), play (17) and musical (8) seen, every book read (40), concert attended (6) and video game (10) finished (not to mention all of the scripts I read for work or podcast episodes I listened to, which were not included because enough is enough).

SEEN, READ, PLAYED 2018

My borderline OCD continued as I once again took a page from Steven Soderbergh (who, according to Popsugar, I also bear an 83% resemblance to) and logged all my media consumption in 2018. I kept track of every movie, episode of television, and piece of theater seen, every book read, and every video game finished (not to mention all of the scripts I read for work, which I didn’t include here, as that would be insane – yes, I did just say that).
