In 2012 I joined an incredible service called Goodreads. Its a service that helps you track what you've read, want to read, and are currently reading. They also have personal goal tracking on the site that tracks how many books you want to challenge yourself to read every year. In 2012 my goal was 20 books and I hit 28. A lot of that had to do with commuting with Jenn to Rosemead. In 2013 I set a goal of 25 and wouldn't you know it I hit my goal with only twelve days to spare.  Here are the 25 books I read in 2013 in order of how I read them. 

Each year Jenn channels more and more of her mom and decorates more and more of our apartment. It really began last year when she decorated each room with a tree, now not only does each room have a tree but each area that could potentially hold a decoration is now covered. And I hate to admit it, but I kind of love it.

Jenn and I have watched around a dozen seasons of The Amazing Race. At the very beginning of the first episode of a season we pick our teams who we are going to root for. The competition between Jenn and I really heated up when Jenn won in Season 9 with the hippies, and has continued to this latest season, 23. 

I really enjoyed the original Hunger Games. It had a great cast and did an excellent job of recreating the novel its based on. In fact it might have been the closest retelling of a book I've seen. Going into the second movie, Catching Fire, I knew that this movie had an uphill battle ahead of it. Catching Fire is easily the least interesting book of the trilogy. 

One week following the release of the Playstation 4, comes the Xbox One. As a huge fan of video games (I own a video game website for reference) this sort of experience is the pinnacle of my obsession. Consider that a console life cycle historically averages 7-10 years and you can begin to understand the magnitude of a release. So when I heard the Xbox One and Playstation 4 would be releasing a week apart it just sounded too good to be true. 

In February 2013 Sony announced the Playstation 4. From that point to this past Friday (November 15th) I've been giddy excited for the console to finally arrive. This past Friday UPS delivered my Playstation 4 via Amazon and I couldn't be happier.
