On the audiovisual media front, I saw one movie: Mary Queen of Scots, on Christmas Day, with my family. I don't know that I'd have gone to see it of my own volition, but I enjoyed it just fine.

On the audio media front, I have continued to listen to Great Courses both via Audible and via CDs borrowed from my local library system. I am on the final lecture of a 36-lecture series about food (a "cultural and culinary history," IIRC), finished a really interesting 24-lecture series on pre-contact cultures of North America, and am nearing the end of something called "The Other Side of History" which is notionally about the daily life of (mostly) ordinary people in various periods of European and Mediterranean history: mostly Greece, Rome, and medieval England, but with a few detours into others areas and eras. The Greece and Rome parts are good, but the medieval stuff is kind of meh, honestly. *shrug*

I also read thirteen chapters of a textbook on childhood developmental psychology. I don't think it was the entire book since we cut off around age twelve (ch. 13) and there were hints within the text that the book should have had several more chapters dealing with adolescence. But that was still a fair bit of reading.
