As strange as it sounds, the start of the pandemic in 2020 marks the last time I read a book. For those who know me well, that’s pretty wild. Because in previous years, also documented on this site, I’ve been able to knock out 100+ books. But I only read 1 or 2 books inContinue reading “Slump”

Mini Oscars Reaction 2021
(I usually just jot down my reactions whole watching the Oscars, and this year was no different…. EXCEPT I FORGOT TO POST THIS ON MONDAY. LOL. So here it is many days late.) Ugh, Carey Mulligan’s dress. 😍 Gorgeous. Well, the setting is pretty! I actually saw all the short films except documentary this yearContinue reading “Mini Oscars Reaction 2021”
The Old Days
Before there were podcasts, when television was still in its infancy, the internet was unheard of, and streaming platforms were a distant dream of the future, folks listened to the radio. When I was a child, my father introduced me to old radio shows. Many of these were detective classics, like Johnny Dollar, Sam Spade,Continue reading “The Old Days”
Scraps
When I first started my current job, I had a 45 minute commute to work. The drive could get boring, and, as someone with frequently racing thoughts, my mind goes in some bizarre directions. On my very first day of this new route, I noticed something on the side of the road as I wasContinue reading “Scraps”
Letting Go
I have mentioned it before, but I was a pretty big “weeb” back in the day. And honestly, I still am – but it was a much greater obsession in my teens. I collected manga for a long time, and managed to complete many series, mostly of the shoujo genre – which are manga aimedContinue reading “Letting Go”
Impractical
I know my last post was a bit of a downer. As such, I thought it would be a good idea to post about something a bit happier to follow-up. While I’ve been wallowing in the doldrums of 2020, there have been a few glimmers of light peeking through the black clouds. And four ofContinue reading “Impractical”
Worst
2020 has been the worst year of my life. 28 years in, and 2020 broke me. It broke me down, chewed me up, spit me out, then stomped all over me. Maybe it’s a quarter life crisis. Maybe the whole quarantine lifestyle got to me. Maybe the state of the world wore me out. MaybeContinue reading “Worst”
Aunt Allie
I can’t believe I haven’t talked about this on my blog yet (I am a little behind) but I’m going to be an aunt! I technically already am – my sister has a stepson – but she is now pregnant with a little boy and is due in October. It is also well-known in myContinue reading “Aunt Allie”
Try
I think it’s a safe bet to say that most folks have heard the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.” I must admit, I am someone who has been known to try and then give up at the first whiff of an undesirable outcome. Contributing factors often include fear ofContinue reading “Try”
Holy
I may catch flak for this… but spelling is important. I’m all for abbreviations, I LOVE emojis, and I’m not opposed to “text speak,” but proper spelling is another matter. When I was in junior high, ripped jeans were a fad. But they were also against dress code. Anyone who dared defy the constrictions ofContinue reading “Holy”
