I started this game in early access. And Re-started when it was released. So I haven't finished it. I'll argue that I don't have to hit 100% to write up a in-play review of the game! Especially because this has been a fun game from the start. Oh, it isn't perfect, but for anyone who… Continue reading Review: Planet Explorers (video game)

Review: Dark Horse/Lightning’s Daughter
So during December, I am going to do some "throwback" reviews. Books that have been in my library as long as I've had it. With my recent house purchase I have been unpacking my books. I lost some books. So with renewed access to my full library, I want to go back to some of… Continue reading Review: Dark Horse/Lightning’s Daughter
Review: The Maze Runner
This book, by James Dashner, was suggested by Goodreads as one I would enjoy because I enjoyed Hunger Games. I read a few of the reviews and they either raved about it or hated it. I was intrigued (and it was like $0.99 on Google Play). So I picked it up, knowing it probably wasn't going to be… Continue reading Review: The Maze Runner
Review: Borrowing Books
I Read this Blog Post which makes the case against borrowing/lending books. I understand completely the stress of lending. I let someone borrow Mistborn, didn't write down and who and now.... I have a hole in my collection. I will probably end up spending the $5 at a used book store to replace it, but I know I lent… Continue reading Review: Borrowing Books
Review: Valor’s Choice (Tanya Huff)
I needed to do some work this weekend and didn't feel like listening to "just" music, so I went to Scribd and found Valor's Choice (it actually recommended a later one in the series and I went and dug for the first) and listened to this audiobook... Overall: 7.75/10 Firstly, let me say I thoroughly enjoyed… Continue reading Review: Valor’s Choice (Tanya Huff)
Politics: Innocent until proven guilty
There was a really interesting piece on NPR about Hillary Clinton's email server. There were a few things I found fascinating, but one that stuck out is "innocent and 'not guilty' are not the same thing." - and this is just such an important subtlety of our justice system that I don't think you should be… Continue reading Politics: Innocent until proven guilty
Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Today is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek's premier on TV. I think it is a perfect day for some self-reflection and future-focused thought. Who do I want to be in 50 years? Or 500 (I mean, obviously, who do I want to be remembered as in 500 years since there is no current method confirmed… Continue reading Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Review: Deerskin (Robin McKinley)
Deerskin by Robin McKinley was a deal on Google Play books so I decided to pick it up. Once I started reading, I got engrossed pretty quickly. Not for any of the usual reasons I get sucked into a story, but because it is so different from other books I've found over the past few years.… Continue reading Review: Deerskin (Robin McKinley)
Review: Ghostbuster
This movie would not have changed my life except for the controversy around it. It was an enjoyable summer flick - but because of all the rage (I mean really, it's just another remake)... I have given it a different kind of attention. I was watching looking for feminism rants and sexist bullshit. It wasn't there. It… Continue reading Review: Ghostbuster
Life Events: House Hunting
My husband and I are in the house hunting process. And it doesn't help we're in a super-shortage of houses on the market. So we've spent hours over the past 2 months scouring Zillow & Realtor.com for houses that we think have hope of making us happy. We schedule 4-5 to see on a weekend and… Continue reading Life Events: House Hunting
