2021 Diary of Culture

2021: The Year It Got Real(ity)

For the past 8 years I've kept a diary of all the culture I take in during a year: TV, film, books, podcasts. Loosely inspired by Steven Soderbergh's annual lists, which are insane.

This year was weird. The first half of the year, we were expecting a baby; the list is full of pregnancy books, parenting books, and a bunch of TV and film as we a) tried to relax and bond and b) tried to cram in a lot of things before le bebe arrived. The second half does a lot of the same, except now I'm up with a baby at 5am looking for something to keep me awake. Partly as "research" for a "project," I started watching reality competitions, particularly Survivor. Turns out you can watch a lot of seasons of Survivor while your baby sleeps on your. shoulder.


Highlights
Her Body and Other Parties, by Carmen Maria Machado - excellent and surprising short story collection.
Les Vampires - classic series of French silent films following a newspaper man out to stop a criminal gang. Fantastic and available on YouTube.
I Think You Should Leave - we discovered this series about 6 weeks before the baby arrived and watch an episode the night we went into labor (I'm pretty sure we could blame the timing on a particular sketch). About a week into baby's life, we had a date night while the Grandparents took care of the baby, and we sat together in bed, eating popcorn and watching three episodes of the second season. One of my favorite nights of the year.
The Birth Partner - speaking of baby, I finished this How To on my way home from work, the day we went into labor. Excellent timing!
New Teeth by Simon Rich - fantastic stories to read and laugh at early in the morning as a new father. But also this made me seek out Miracle Workers, which is a tremendous delight as well.
Patricia Highsmith's Ripliad - I burned through all five of her Tom Ripley novels, never having read them before. A real treat.
The Velvet Underground, by Todd Haynes - Gorgeous. Not to be seen without a fantastic sound and video set up.
Daniel Craig Retrospective - I'm a Bond nerd; One of my earliest memories is waking up in the middle of the night and finding my grandfather watching YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. In the lead up to the release of NO TIME TO DIE, I watched all of DC's 007 appearances leading up to the new one. I watched them early in the morning as my child slept on my shoulder. B won't have memories of this, but I will.


RULES
- I don't track food or music, unless I experienced them with cultural intention. Meaning: getting take out doesn't count, going to a restaurant doesn't count; but going to a restaurant with the intention of trying something spectacular, does. Same with music.
- I similarly don't track news, one-off articles, or short reading, unless it's with specific intention. 
- This is not a place to differentiate between live theatre, filmed archival theatre, zoom theatre. If the author's medium is theatre, it's theatre as far as this list is concerned.
