December 2022 Favorites

It's the end of the year. And I never could've predicted some of the twists and turns 2022 would bring. I'm both very grateful and very exhausted. Here are my December Favorites!

DefunctTV: After discovering the Disney Theme documentary, I watched many other Defunctland videos from the DefunctTV series. It's so interesting to see these TV shows that live so vaguely in my memory from very young childhood again.

Lost Media: This also goes along with my obsession with old commercials and TV shows. I used to record a ton of stuff on VHS tapes as a child/teenager. A decent portion of which I still have. (Though I wish I'd kept all of it now. 🙁) After learning about the search for lost media from TV shows and bumpers, I really want to go through my collection to see if I can find anything meaningful to share.

Summer I Turned Pretty: Yes, I know. It's winter here, but I am just now finishing Season 1 of this summer series. It's been a chaotic year, okay? But the speed at which I watched this series has no bearing on how much I enjoyed it. I absolutely loved this show, and I'm looking forward to Season 2. (Watch on Prime!)

New Computer: In a surprise turn of events, I had to get a new computer this month. I was quite anxious about this, as I was upgrading from Windows 7 to 11. A big jump. 😬 But this gaming computer (I've lovingly named Chaz) is very fast and powerful. It's got gorgeous rainbow lights. Runs some games I wasn't able to on my previous computers. (Which lead to some fun escape room playing with a friend.) And most importantly, it runs Sims 2! Really, really well. 🥰 Sometimes detours lead you in the right direction.

Bathaniel Nandy: I never knew there were so many interesting and intricate Nintendo rom hacks out there, and I'm loving this channel spotlighting them!

Music Favs: Timekeeper (Lucy Schwartz), Slide (Rosi Golan), Cry Wolf (Luna Shadows), No Room in Frame (Death Cab for Cutie), Don't Regret (t.A.T.u.), Salt Skin (Ellie Goulding).
