Best of Mania Part 4 - The Finale: TV and Movies

So this is it.  The end of my 2012 wrap up.  I know, four parts?  Technically five since I split the music videos in two.  Alright, fair enough. But this will be mercifully short. Or will it?



TV is a friend of Mine
It was a pretty good year.  Another notch in the "Golden Era" of TVs bed post.

2013 Resolution
As you can see, I missed an awful lot.  Movies are something I love, but I am always playing catch up with.  Partially because I hate movie going to movie theaters.  Audiences can ruin movies for me.  Small story.  I went and saw Looper well into it's theatrical run.  There were maybe ten other people in the theater with me, but that was more than enough to make it into one of the most terrible movie going experiences I've had in years.  That said, I am going to try to see more movies this year.  Hopefully there will be some good ones.  I would also like to whittle the 300 and growing Netflix queue I have.  Netflix is a curse I tell you!
