Housekeeping stats for 2017

In 2017, via theaters, DVDs, Blu-Rays, cable TV and the Roku, I watched movies, documentaries and mini-series, a total of 176 of them.  And here are my yearly totals:

2017: 176
2016: 110
2015: 88
2014: 37
2013: 53
2012: 53
2011: 78
2010: 52
2009: 55
2008: 56
2007: 55
2006: 67
2005: 71
2004: 95
2003: 120
2002: 101
2001: 75
2000: 40

I lay the huge increase at the foot of the Roku, wherein I can watch three or four documentaries, one right after the other.  Further, of those 176, the only ones I saw in an actual theater were "Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2", "Spider-Man: Homecoming", "Thor: Ragnarok", and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi".  Only 4 times did I go to a theater this year.  And really, the only time I want to go is when it's a superhero or sci-fi movie. 
********************
Book wise, this year I read only 39 books.  Which is better than last year, but still, lower than what I have read in the recent past.  But with the Roku and all the damn apps on my phone taking up my time, my reading has suffered.  Here are my yearly totals:

2017: 39
2016: 31
2015: 52
2014: 48
2013: 44
2012: 31
2011: 45
2010: 42
2009: 33
2008: 28
2007: 23
2006: 20
2005: 15
2004: 26
2003: 24
2002: 33
2001: 28
2000: 22
1999: 22

Breaking them down by category, I came up with this:

Doctor Who: 8
History: 8
Fantasy: 2
Fiction: 5
Local Interest: 1
Presidents: 3
Comic Books: 3
Gay: 1
Star Wars: 3
Star Trek: 1
Young Adult Fiction: 4

And then the number and cost of books bought, we have: 

2017: 83 books for $691.88, average of $8.34 per book
2016: 57 books for $409.91, average of $7.19 per book 
2015: 90 books for $1007.65, average of $11.20 per book
2014: 80 books for $813.24, average of $10.17 per book
2013: 59 books for $557.39, average of $9.45 per book

Buying double the number of books I read in a year is NOT a good plan to lower the size of my To Be Read pile....
********************
Slutty Section (skim passed this if you don't want to know these)

Number of times I had sex:
2017: 101
2016: 80
2015: 78
2014: 74

Number of different sex partners:
2017: 37
2016: 22
2015: 28
2014: 22

Number of brand new, never been with before, partners:
2017: 27
2016: 15
2015: 14
2014: 9

My most regular sex partner was, like all the last couple years, Derick.  But also, three of those brand new partners were people that I have known for over five years or more, and just this year had sex with them. 

And the 2017 Monthly Sex Chart!

And that's My 2017 In Stats!

I hope your 2017 was great too!

Books 2017

Today, I wrapped up my Christmas shopping (I think) with a trip to Barnes & Noble.  I spent over $100, although the majority of that was gifts.  I did, however, buy myself some stuff.

The Supreme Court Landmark Cases, by Tony Mauro
The Romanovs 1613-1918, by Simon Sebag Montefiore
Obama An Intimate Portrait, by Pete Souza

I had 3 coupons and with my regular membership savings, I saved a total of $40.  And since I spent over $100, they had a special, so I got a $25 gift card, free!  Suh-WeeT

I've got books lining my shelves, day and night.....

Books 2017

Today, I got everything important at work done early, and while there was some other stuff I probably could have done, paperwork wise, I just wasn't feeling it.  So, I put in a leave slip and left after two hours.

I went to 2nd & Charles, and wandered for an hour or so and, of course, bought some books.  I purchased:

Dragonlance: Wanderlust, The Meetings Sextet Volume Two, by Mary Kirchoff & Steve Winter
Dracula, by Bram Stoker
50 Leaders Who Changes History, by Charles Phillips
Avenvers: Ultron Forever
We Are The Avengers
(the last two are graphic novels)
