The main thing 2023 taught me was that having a newborn in the house changes your life in ways you can’t comprehend in advance. Similarly, you might think 4 months off work for paternity leave might afford a little extra
More lists, innit.
I am a self-facilitating media node (aka you are what you consume)
When it came time to write the customary summary of my media consumption for 2022 I began it thinking that it must definitely have been on par with 2021 – so that’s the influence of anecdotal info there, because having
More plague, you say? Better fire the telly up then…
And here was me thinking I watched a lot of things on the telly in 2020, eh? Who knew THAT was coming… There’s no point lamenting the comparatively few *actual* blogposts between the last one of these and this one,
2020 – The Year There Was Pretty Much Fuck All Else To Do But Watch Telly
How about that lung-eating virus that kept us all at home all year, eh? It’s normal for me at this time of year to feel some sort of urge to write an “end of year roundup” post about all the

The stuff I pointed my eyes at in 2014
Mid-March isn’t too late for a 2014 roundup, is it? It’s still the same financial year… and I’d hate to break the chain now that I’ve done this for 2011, 2012 and 2013! So, with that, here’s the 2014 Media
Jason’s Cinema and Literature Roundup for 2013 AD
As the early months of the year now almost dictate (in that I’ve done it twice now), it’s time to look back over the list of films/movies/motion pictures (as you prefer) I’ve seen and books that I’ve read, and reminisce,
The Film List from 2012
As begun last year (and, even slightly MORE delayed than last year), I thought an ideal blog topic was a list of the films that I watched over the last 12 months, and a brief description of each (in the
