5: This may be a little premature to say it here, with many hours in the day still to go before 2017 reaches me, but I feel it's important to remark upon: all of the people that are most important to me survived it. We all lived. And it was a close thing for some of us. I didn't lose anyone in my life that was really, truly important. That matters a lot, sometimes.
6: I spent an entire day looking at art. My husband and I discovered how much we love Denver back in 2015, when we took a trip out there to celebrate our ten-year anniversary. We've made a few trips out there since then, and I always manage to do or to see something new when we go. I love that. The last trip I took to Denver allowed me to go to the Denver Art Museum. If you've never been, it is two buildings and ten floors total (if my memory is correct, which it may not be. There may be more floors I'm forgetting) of art. So much art! We spent the whole day there, and still did not manage to see the whole thing before our bodies gave up.
We're planning another trip back to Denver in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to it.
7: I was extremely well-entertained this year. I'm breaking this up into different ones, because some things deserve their own entry. If you who is reading this feels this is cheating, write your own 16 Highlights of 2016 and show me how it's done.
The big thing is the MCU continuing its journey into awesomeness. My husband and I love the MCU. It is a frequent topic in our home, whether we're talking about upcoming releases, theories we have or we've seen, what we'd like to see going forward, and just plain enjoying everything that's been released so far. 2016 gave us Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange, both of which I enjoyed immensely. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continued, and we got another season (its final, sadly) of Agent Carter. And even though Luke Cage's first season dropped just a couple of months ago, it occurs to me now that I should really re-watch it - we loved it just that much.
I still very much need to find the perfect frame for this treasure.
8: In non-MCU entertainment that brought me joy, there was Deadpool, Ghostbusters, Hamilton (I have not been lucky enough to see the show myself, but I bought the soundtrack in March and still haven't tired of it), Moana, The Get Down (we haven't quite finished watching this yet, but it is so fucking good that I'm adding it to the list), Car Boys (a YouTube series from Polygon), and many more. The Good Place debuted this year and has so far proved to be utterly delightful, and I am looking forward to its return from its mid-season hiatus.
