Published in February and March 2021
February is only a couple days shorter than other months, but it still never seems to be long enough to get everything done. So I stretched out my timeline for updating my list of publications and crunched February and March together.

Returning to blogging form, I published 10 posts in February and 11 posts in March. It paid off in page views – or something did, since nearly twice as many people visited the blog in February as in any month in the past year.
Most Read
What were they looking at? Well, K-drama and Black History, mostly. The top posts in February were:
The Necessary and Proper Clause
The top posts in March were:
K-Drama Trope Amnesia (this seems to have replaced my old top post, Stalking Asgeir Trausti)

Seattle Opera’s Cinematic Don Giovanni (okay, maybe I’ll keep up on opera)
The Intermission Project at PNB (whew, the ballet can stay, too)
Pretty in Purple (I wish I still had purple hair)
Top Search Queries
