I didn't count Sing, Unburied, Sing. I listened to the whole book on audiobook, and I'd be damned if I could tell you one thing that happened in it. I don't know if I was too distracted, or if I couldn't absorb the reader's voice or what. I just can't count that as a book read.

I just counted and I've already watched 56 movies this year. That's just stuff I haven't seen before. If I were counting stuff I've already seen, I'd say add another 15-20 or so.

I'd recommend giving Sing, Unburied, Sing another shot. It's a heartbreaking story and beautifully told. One of my favorites in a while.

Joe you just watched the Star Wars prequels for the first time this year? Where have you been?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.... these movies have to be seen for the first time ever to count? Not just with in the year? I get not counting the same movie twice in one year, but all brand new, ever seen, films? That's fucking stupid.
