July 2019 in Review
Aug 5, 2019
July was a really tough month for me. A lot of my routines fell off the wayside. I’m still recovering from it now, not 100% back on my feet yet.
Sleep
I ended with an average of seven hours of sleep. Definitely towards the end of the month, I kept snoozing my alarms more and more. So even if I’m getting “seven hours of sleep”, it probably isn’t the best quality sleep.
Hours on Phone
What did I do on the 6th to spend almost ten hours on my phone? Very interesting… It’s a good thing I’m under four hours for an average. Would like it to be lower though!
Steps Walked
Whoops there were definitely days where I didn’t leave the house at all, haha. That’s one thing I want to do more in this month.
Top 10 Artists
I saw both Metric and Sharon Van Ettern this month which explains the high counts. I really got into Sharon Van Etten’s latest album and had it on repeat for a while.
I’m still riding that 2NE1 nostalgia wave. I just fall in love with them over and over again. I’m really digging the mostly women vibe with July. Loving all these artists.
Top 10 Albums
When I went to go see Metric, I made sure to buy Art of Doubt because I loved it so much. I really like physical copies of CDs and I felt like Art of Doubt is for sure an album I want in my sparse collection. And now it is! Emily Haines really brings a lot of everything that makes Metric, Metric in this album.
Like I said, I’m really digging Sharon Van Etten’s latest album as well, Remind Me Tomorrow. It’s super sludgy and I love sludge.
Top 10 Songs
its just another day. Still riding out the vibes of that video games, mixed messages.
Happy is a really cute song. I enjoyed their colourful and vibrant music video. CRUSH is a really interesting album. I think there are a lot of sappy songs on this album but they still manage to sound like bops.
