For the last three years, I have tracked my consumption and opinions of movies, plays and books on this blog. Here are the 2011 totals!

In 2011: (2008, 2009, & 2010 numbers in parentheses)

I watched 5 movies in the theater. (20,20,9)

I watched 59 movies on DVD/DVR/Cable. (67,47,56)

I saw 13 plays/musicals. (20,8,16)

I read 6 books. (17,27,15)

Overall I consumed less media than ever, which I will blame on my baby (I will also blame all future failures on her so she’ll have something to talk about in therapy).

ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m going to stop doing this now.

I moved to LA in September to make creating things my primary profession (after six years of primarily helping other people create things), so I’m feeling more interested in using this space for creative, and less critical, diarrhea.

(Also, I’ve really said all I can say about Josh Gad.)

Basically, I like making snarky comments about other people’s work as much as anybody, and I will still do that from time to time (especially while drinking), but I’d like to push myself to spend more time creating things for other people to make snarky comments about. That’s much more frightening and thus, I am told, much more rewarding.

Some of those things will be posted here (with much haste and little editing). Some will (hopefully) appear on your television. And some will appear in magazines and other places where people look for such things.

I would also like to release an album of cover songs, but frankly, that’s not going to happen.

Happy New Year to everyone reading this. The Mayans never predicted Tumblr, so I’m pretty sure we’re all going to die.
