2025 Media Log

Inspired by my friend Ben Hong (no longer logging), who got the idea from Jen Myers, I am continuing the practice of tracking my media consumption this year.

Past media logs: 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019

Key: (B) = book | (F) = film | (T) = television series (completed season) | (L) = live performance (theater, music, comedy, etc.) | (A) = album (music) | (G) = video game | (C) = stand-up comedy special | [R] = reread/rewatch

Logged during the month I completed the unit. For example, I log a full season of a TV show after watching the last episode of the season, whether I began the season that day or years earlier, I log a game or album when I complete the entire thing, etc.

One Month of Parenthood

I have a pretty exciting reason for not blogging in a long time…

Don’t get me wrong; I’ve been thinking about the blog all year. All the exciting things I’ve done last year…

A post in my drafts…
Another post in my drafts…

And my journey to get here~

And I got a big haircut to boot

And of course, it pained me to break my decade-long streak of annual recap blog posts, which I hope to still post very belatedly.

But the world kept spinning and somehow I am lucky enough to have become a mom to a precious life for one month now! I won’t be sharing too much about my baby on this blog (at least for now) but I hope to be able to catch you all up on my journey to get here. Pregnancy symptoms, several adventures, an out-of-state move, and then life with a newborn have made blogging difficult to prioritize, but there is a lot I have been wanting to share so I hope as I find my groove in this new chapter of my life that I get to do just that.

Happy 1 month to my bundle of joy ♥️
You have made me one of the luckiest people in the world and for that I will forever be so grateful, for this past month and the many months ahead of us.

Happy 满月 my darling

2022 in 365 Seconds

After years of playing with the 1 Second Everyday app and watching people do true video compilations with 365 seconds from their year, I was finally able to do my own video to look back on the year.

I’ll admit that this is still not a true 1 Second Everyday, as some of these seconds come from the same days, but my COVID spiraling that kept me at home also kept me very… stagnant for much of this year, and I would find myself with days having passed and not finding myself having done anything noteworthy. It was a creative challenge for me to try to find brief moments of beauty and interest in the more mundane parts of my life, but I think the result is a more calm meditation on the romanticization of the every day.

Let’s see if we can do it again in 2023!
