These are a few of My Favorite Things: 2015

2015 is almost over. Now is the time when everybody puts together their obligatory Best Of listicles and blog posts, asserting highly debatable and totally subjective opinions on the greatest media produced all year. I suppose I'm going to do the same right now. Not to create some kind of definitive list, but rather for the sake of my own internal record-keeping. There were a lot of things that I enjoyed this year: a lot of stories that piqued my interest, made me laugh, made me cry, or helped me stay sane.

This is by no mean an exhaustive list. Just a small list of some things I loved. Feel free to make one of your own.
