media I consumed in 2025
- 8 minutes read - 1699 wordsAs with many of my posts, I don’t know if anyone reads this except me; as with many of my posts, I enjoy putting together this end-of-year recap even if I’m the only audience. I didn’t realize that it was only this year that I watched The Princess Bride with kiddo, and it’s fun to see the personal challenges I set for myself, like rereading all of Saga, finally listening to all the Terry Pratchett radio dramas I bought years ago, making my way through a bunch of IDW Star Trek comics of mixed quality, etc. I am kind of bummed that I didn’t finish my way through the Brief Theological Introductions to the Book of Mormon series before the end of the year, but I also confess that I’m having a mixed experience with the series, and trying to force my way through hasn’t been super helpful.
This was a year of a lot of comics reading (I started it with a reread of the XIII series, which is also why I’ve hit a personal best for number of “books” read (I don’t mean to suggest that a TPB isn’t a real book, because it is, but it does inflate my numbers).
The attentive reader will also notice that the format of my mediablogging switched partway through the year. This is because one of my responses to a crappy 2025 was to make a bunch of changes to how my Hugo setup works. I’ve been meaning to blog about that for weeks and will hopefully get to it today. I’m genuinely proud of how I’ve been able to make some fun customizations to Hugo, and I won’t mind patting myself on the back in a separate post.
