[PetyrPunkinhead]

Now that a few have posted theirs I'll share mine...

1. What was your favorite live event (concert, sporting event, play, festival, convention, etc.) you attended in 2017? For now it’d be seeing Stevie Wonder at Jazz Fest. But if the Saints beat the Falcons on Christmas Eve in the Dome then that’s gonna be my new #1.
2. Favorite show or sporting match you watched on live TV in 2017? Saints vs Redskins on November 19. Saints won in overtime. Who dat!
3. What song did you hit “repeat” on the most in 2017?“New York” by St. Vincent (“Feel It Still” by Portugal The Man is a close runner-up)
4. Favorite book and/or comic you read in 2017? TWD Issue #167 because it’s the last appearance of one of my favorite characters. As for novels, one of my favorite books, Jack London’s Call of the Wild, was added back to our curriculum and I really enjoyed teaching it again.
5. Favorite TV show you binge watched in 2017? Legion S1, Stranger Things 2 was a close second.
6. Favorite TV show you watched week to week in 2017? Game of Thrones S7
7. Favorite animated series of 2017? Rick & Morty (Technically it’s my favorite show I binged because I did so with S1 & S2, and also my favorite show I watched week to week, which was S3.)
8. Favorite animated film of 2017? The Lego Batman Movie
9. Favorite documentary of 2017? This was a tough one. Batman & Bill on Hulu gets the top spot because I’m such a huge Batman fan, but Chasing Coral on Netflix was equally superb.
10. Favorite comedy film of 2017? The Disaster Artist, hands down. No contest.
11. Favorite action and/or sci-fi film of 2017? Thor: Ragnarok for action and Blade Runner 2049 for sci-fi.
12. Favorite drama and/or romance film of 2017? Three Billboards… for best drama (although I really struggled with not putting Logan here) and even though it was a 2016 film, I didn’t see La La Land until 2017, and it was probably the only romance film I saw all year, but I did see it twice
13. Favorite video game of 2017? I’m not a big gamer, so forgive me for being late to the party with Skyrim. I discovered it this summer with my nephew and love it.
14. Favorite YouTube channel in 2017? Hot Ones with Sean Evans. Best interview show going. Even if I don’t know or particularly care about the people being interviewed, watching them deal with extremely hot chicken wings is endlessly entertaining.
15. What’s your favorite/most used app on your smartphone in 2017? Facebook. Sad but true. Like most people, Mark’s got me firmly by the Zuckerbergs.
16. Who is the one entertainer that died in 2017 you’d bring back? (There can be only one!) Adam West. He’s the first Batman I ever knew, and still one of the best.
17. What was your 2017 like as depicted in emojis or a single .gif? This right here.
