eyes to the board

Finally mostly recovered from the latest illness blast (COVID + strep + influenza B after Christmas) and I think I have my 2024 goals finalized. 

• 16 movies, at least half that I rate 3 stars or higher, same count as last year
• 10 TV seasons, up from last year
• 2 Actual Play miniseries, new category. These took up spots on both movies and TV last year, so technically both are increased in that way as well!
• 16 full-album listens, up from last year, but lower than I actually achieved last year, since EPs count
• 5 books, same as last year
• 12 new-to-me recipes, same as last year, but lower than I actually achieved
• 5 pieces written, at least 100 words each. I originally removed all writing goals in sheer despair, but just today added this one back. I think I have to be hopeful that at some point in the year, I will have enough mental bandwidth to try again

Progress so far:
Movies - Saltburn, which I most certainly did NOT rate 3 stars or higher. I don't know, man. 
TV Shows - None finished, but making good progress with Ahsoka, Deadloch, Our Flag Means Death S2, and if I can figure out a HBO Max login (had to cancel ours), I think I'll eat True Detective: Night Country right up. 
Albums - Rosie Tucker, Tiny Songs Volume 1, which is lovely, and Hannah Cole's 2-year-old EP Cradle, which earned 4/4 songs on my liked list. I also gave Juliana Madrid the old college try because I LOVE her song "Let the Light In" but wow, it was actually somehow terrible? 
Recipes - Ham, Egg, and Cheese Croissant Bake, which is like if french toast was savory and also WAY too squishy? I got through a bowl and a half but this one isn't a repeat

Maybe this year I'll also manage to get on Dreamwidth more than once a month!
