2020 scrapbook
Past editions: 2019 · 2018
Even if I was awful at keeping up with this at times (mostly during those months I didn't really check LJ), it's fun to see the different lists I end up making. I completely forgot to prepare the different banners so I might redo them in the next few days.

Week-to-week-ish: The pandemic has significantly reduced what I watch. I miss TV in general. I mourn not getting the full, finished seasons of things (and stupid stuff like TVLine's May Sweeps Scorecard) even if everyone's health is obviously more important. Also, it's no secret I started watching For Life for the plot and this month? It feels like this is the month wherer it's started giving me lots of plot. I'm so thankful for that. (The rest of the show is quite good as well.)
Never Have I Ever was so, so good.
May
El Ministerio del Tiempo · S3 (S03E09-S03E13) family rewatch (first-time for me)

Watched some of Clone Wars episodes, curated by my brother as we prepared to watch the last season (and then started watching)
Watching "Gallery" at Disney+ weekly. Most impressive.

Been watching some NCIS: LA in the background (sometimes) with my parents. Watched the Densi wedding episode and loved it :') I can't remember if it was the start of Aug or the end of July but we also
We've started watching Community more consistently during the week. Instead of watching it at lunch when we could (we still do!), we also watch 2 per night Mon thru Fri. So we'll likely finish S5 soon and even s6!
September
Cobra Kai · S1 (S01E03 - S01E10) · S2
RuPaul's Drag Race · S11 · S12
Virgin River · S1 (S01E01-S01E10)
RuPaul's Drag Race: All-Stars · S2
George Lucas Talk Show: Studio 60 watch-a-thon - because I ended up watching most of those 17+ hours of content and it was great.
Also watched a couple of Selling Sunset eps. Might go back to it.
We didn't watch much tv at night (incompatible schedules) after Cobra Kai, tbh. We do have that HBO trial waiting for us. This month, the Spanish Masterchef Celebrity was back and that essentially takes us two nights to watch (we start as it's airing and finish it the following day) -- each episode is like 3-3.5 hours long. I know.
October
Song Exploder · S1 ♥
Emily in Paris · S1
La Línea: La Sombra del Narco · miniseries
The West Wing's Special to Benefit When We All Vote (whatever its name was)
The Americans · S3 (S03E01-S03E03) (finally!)
Antidistubios · S1
The Newsroom · S1(S01E01)
Queen's Gambit · S1/miniseries (S01E01-S01E03)
Still watching Spain's Celebrity Masterchef, which can take a whopping three nights for us to finish! (It's so effing long, you guys.) Some of my shows came back - I'm already behind on TAR because I haven't found a way to watch it and it's so weird to have TIU or Superstore back. Surreal.
November
Queen's Gambit · S1/miniseries (S01E04-S01E07) ♥
Dash & Lily · S1 (watched all eight the evening of the 10th) ♥
The Newsroom · S1(S01E02; part of 3)
Succession · S1 ♥
Survivor · S37 ♥
The Crown · S4
Others: Spanish Celeb Masterchef (go Josie, tbh. And Flo and Nico, too, but I'm 100% on Team Josie now). Caught up on TAR 32 and I'm still watching. The first half or so of MacGyver's fourth season (up to ep 5 currently). For Life and AMLT are also back (I've yet to watch AMLT).
December
Virgin River · S2
Succession · S2 ♥ (holy crap)
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series · S1 · 2019 Special · 2020 Holiday Special
Song Exploder · Volume 2 ♥
The Flight Attendant · S1
The Investigation · S1 (up to S01E03) (Danish TV Show)
Upload · S1
Others: Spanish MC… happened. Also kind of into our version of Masked Singer (Mask Singer), even if I just half watch. Still behind on AMLT and still watching MacGyver S4 and The Good Doctor S4. I'd say For Life is the one show I've regularly kept up with - this season is different but interesting.
*********************************
Goodreads profile
I remain the most inconsistent reader. I'd say I use my little free time playing Sims (at least as of January) or making icons if there is some inspiration. But when I read, I read fast.
Count: 8
NOTE. (after April): I suck. I should be reading more but I am actually working more hours a day.
NOTE. (June): Had a sick afternoon and read most of a book then. And for a couple of weeks there, I read a few books quite fast. I know they're mostly lighthearted but I don't want to read any other thing now.

More or less updated throughout the year. Might miss some movies I half watched on tv.

*********************************
it was actually hard to pick just a few! I liked a bunch of my icons a lot and I'm missing a few of them in here still.
(edited slightly on Dec 30)
Because I sometimes love how a bunch of icons look together. Or because the whole is better than the sum of its parts and I have a hard time just handpicking one.
fandom10in30 · remakes: I'm just super proud of this set and the composition work. Even if many were from 2018 (my most productive year), I think it showed growth... and how, when I'm inspired, I do good things.
the7days · 7 genres: I like the range of complexity (for me) in this one, tbh. I like how it looks and how I could've kept going.
somein30 · Muted & Vibrant: I think the other set for somein30 had some pretty individual icons but this set? I just really love how they came out in general.
tvshowsic · challenge 249: kiss: I think all four icons look good in their own way, especially the two more "colorful" ones.
fandom10in30 · mystery box: I love mystery boxes (or bingos!) because they force you to get out of your comfort zone but I'm usually not quite happy with what. This was different - it was such a fun and varied box with lots of themes and textures and it was fun. And I won a big challenge!?
fandom10in30 · round 26: tv tropes: Not my best icons but I loved going over the milliard tropes there are for this show and trying to find scenes and/or screencaps that conveyed them. (As I mentioned, a lot of the best tropes were in the dialogue. I suck at text and I'd have also not made them justice.)

Still watching Spain's Celebrity Masterchef, which can take a whopping three nights for us to finish! (It's so effing long, you guys.) Some of my shows came back - I'm already behind on TAR because I haven't found a way to watch it and it's so weird to have TIU or Superstore back. Surreal.
November

Others: Spanish Celeb Masterchef (go Josie, tbh. And Flo and Nico, too, but I'm 100% on Team Josie now). Caught up on TAR 32 and I'm still watching. The first half or so of MacGyver's fourth season (up to ep 5 currently). For Life and AMLT are also back (I've yet to watch AMLT).
December

Song Exploder · Volume 2 ♥
The Flight Attendant · S1

Others: Spanish MC… happened. Also kind of into our version of Masked Singer (Mask Singer), even if I just half watch. Still behind on AMLT and still watching MacGyver S4 and The Good Doctor S4. I'd say For Life is the one show I've regularly kept up with - this season is different but interesting.

Goodreads profile
I remain the most inconsistent reader. I'd say I use my little free time playing Sims (at least as of January) or making icons if there is some inspiration. But when I read, I read fast.
Count: 8
NOTE. (after April): I suck. I should be reading more but I am actually working more hours a day.
NOTE. (June): Had a sick afternoon and read most of a book then. And for a couple of weeks there, I read a few books quite fast. I know they're mostly lighthearted but I don't want to read any other thing now.

More or less updated throughout the year. Might miss some movies I half watched on tv.
(Some dates are def off.)

*********************************
it was actually hard to pick just a few! I liked a bunch of my icons a lot and I'm missing a few of them in here still.
(edited slightly on Dec 30)
Because I sometimes love how a bunch of icons look together. Or because the whole is better than the sum of its parts and I have a hard time just handpicking one.
fandom10in30 · remakes: I'm just super proud of this set and the composition work. Even if many were from 2018 (my most productive year), I think it showed growth... and how, when I'm inspired, I do good things.
the7days · 7 genres: I like the range of complexity (for me) in this one, tbh. I like how it looks and how I could've kept going.
somein30 · Muted & Vibrant: I think the other set for somein30 had some pretty individual icons but this set? I just really love how they came out in general.
tvshowsic · challenge 249: kiss: I think all four icons look good in their own way, especially the two more "colorful" ones.
fandom10in30 · mystery box: I love mystery boxes (or bingos!) because they force you to get out of your comfort zone but I'm usually not quite happy with what. This was different - it was such a fun and varied box with lots of themes and textures and it was fun. And I won a big challenge!?
fandom10in30 · round 26: tv tropes: Not my best icons but I loved going over the milliard tropes there are for this show and trying to find scenes and/or screencaps that conveyed them. (As I mentioned, a lot of the best tropes were in the dialogue. I suck at text and I'd have also not made them justice.)
