december 23 review
Jan. 3rd, 2024 01:08 pmThe first two weeks of the month were spent on a serious last ditch grind to pass my classes and the back half was spent on term/winter break, but classes are gonna start up again within the week. I did end up passing all of my classes thanks to said grind sesh, even though one of those was most definitely a by-the-skin-of-my-teeth situation. For the first half of the month, when I was still in class, I was really good about using my planner, but now since I haven't been doing much it's pretty much just sat on my shelf collecting dust, but I will be sure to get back into the swing of it soon. My schedule for the next few months is gonna be a rough one but I'm feeling good about it.
I've also gotten really good about maintaining my letterboxd. I watched 28 different feature-length films(there were a few short films is why I'm making that distinction), but all of those were in the back half of the month. I ended up adding more to watchlist than I watched lol
( Winter Watchlist )
A lot of superhero films this month. I watched Superman '78 and the fact that a good superman movie actually existed all this time made me so furious and I ended up watching a bunch more, and then refreshing with MoS (2013) so I could remember what rock bottom really is.
I read a couple comics too: Superman Smashes the Klan (2019) and Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1-6 (2022) I don't read comics very much but my book club read a manga this month and I learned that my library apps carry a decent comic selection. I've come away with a not insignificant list of comics to check out at some point.
I've also got the Wasp ID course coming up this month! Tragically though it's while I'm in class but I am hoping I can make it work.
Some tracks I've really enjoyed this month:
Highway Tune - Greta Van Fleet (Youtube)
Paralyzer - Finger Eleven (Youtube)
Broken Glass - Three Days Grace (Youtube)
AMERICAN HORROR SHOW - SNOW WIFE (Youtube)
