Media Lists Complete!
Interesting things I came to realize upon doing this. I have definitely not read as many books nor watched as many movies the last few years as I did when I started keeping track. Part of the book thing, I know, is that I stopped subbing and instead started working at the library. There were many days as a substitute where I might read half a book in one day, as all I had to do was take attendance, pass out worksheets, and make sure the kids didn't light a fire. I certainly don't have that luxury now.
But mostly I think the change is in the fact that I no longer live with my parents. Back then, I would need to have some time to myself, so I would sit in my room. No computer in there (no space), so I would either read, watch TV, or watch a movie. Now I have my own house, so I don't have that need to find something to do away from everyone else; I'm always away from everyone else!
I have been reading and such more lately, though, because my desktop computer's been sort of on its last legs. I've been putting it to sleep, and so it just seems silly to wake it up for something small. The problem is, "something small" often turns into me just sitting on my computer for an hour or two reading random reddit articles or browsing tumblr or whatever. So in the long run, it feels like it's been a good thing in that I've been motivated to do more productive things. (And watching TV is definitely more productive compared to looking at cat gifs on tumblr.)

Random Musings on Dumb Shit that Ultimately Doesn't Matter
So I've been doing this completely useless task of transferring over my old media lists (new books read and new movies watched) from this blog into little notebooks. 2008, 2009, 2010 all written down with care. (And holy shit, this took four days at work - like so much longer than I thought it would take. I kinda liked it because it made me look like I was industriously working on something important.)
2011 - January, February, March, April...and then I just stopped posting to Blogspot. I got out the original little notebook* where I started writing this shit down physically - as opposed to just having the lists on the computer - and that starts in 2012. So I have eight months that aren't accounted for! Why did I stop?! Where are those lists!
I got upset at the lack of continuity in this random, meaningless activity that has no actual point other than I felt like doing it. I'm at work, so I couldn't search my computer, but I also knew that I was still living at home at this point in time and it's likely these lists would have been done on either my old laptop at the time or the family computer, in which case there would be no retrieval.
Then I thought to check LJ and they were right there! All is okay!
*I kept track of everything chronologically in that notebook. For instance, January, 1. episode of TV, 2. episode of TV, B1. book, 3. episode of TV, M1. movie. Etc. It's okay for TV since that's the bulk of it, but it's really hard to scan through and find movies and TV (and I do actually go through it sometimes when I can't quite remember the title of a book I read, but know I read it sometime last year). Thus why I've decided to keep TV in one, movies in another, books in a third. I'm sort of irritated by the fact that the three little notebooks are part of a set I got for Christmas years ago, and the TV one is about 2/3 full, and obviously the others aren't even close. So I'll fill that one up way before the others.
I don't know why I care about this nonsense?
ETA: December 2011 is not on LJ, either. It skips from November 2011 to January 2012. I AM DISPLEASED.
