warning: I am going to be writing about bad things that happened to me. If you don't want to read about them -stop now. This is you last warning. I have been back to dentist for the first time in 4 years. It wasn't as bad as I feared, but neither were my teeth in… Continue reading Memories: Dental Trauma
Review: Chairs (Pt 2)
Click here to read Part 1. There was not a plan to have a part 2, but Wednesday morning my sister and I had a really great conversation and I ended it going "I'm going to have a whole 'nother blog post out of this." We mostly talked about money. Something I barely touched on… Continue reading Review: Chairs (Pt 2)
Life: Chair Woes
I have been working from home pretty regularly since 2018. During the pandemic, like many other white-collar professionals, I became 100% work-from-home (WFH). I have since moved to "only required one day a week, but I usually go into the office 2 days." I've found it's actually good for my mental health to get out… Continue reading Life: Chair Woes
Writing: illusions
I am writing about a mage and I've decided to make two classes of illusionists. Or rather, they both call themselves illustionists. One of them builds an illusion through instructions and essentially must act as an artist. They have to build into their magic all the aspects of the illusion. As her master taught her:… Continue reading Writing: illusions
Review: Ark: Survival Evolved
Steam says I have had Ark: Survival Evolved running for 1,855 hours. Hours. Now, that number is true. That is NOT how long I have played. Ark is a long, slow load. So there were plenty of times I would launch it, then walk away and take a shower or make dinner or go to… Continue reading Review: Ark: Survival Evolved
Review: The Perfect Run
I found this on the front page of Royal Road and enjoyed it so much I went and bought it on Amazon - I'm a big fan of supporting authors. It has flaws, and I would definitely not recommend this for everyone, but I found it like book-candy. Not award winning, but yummy and bad… Continue reading Review: The Perfect Run
Writing: Removing Words
I had to remove almost 6,000 words from my latest project. The last 6,000 words to be precise. I have literally spent a month stuck. Like, worse than writer's block. STUCK. TRAPPED. DOOOOOOMED. I had written myself into a corridor I didn't like. It isn't that there wasn't a potential plot down that path, but… Continue reading Writing: Removing Words
Review: Animist
I like Eve Forward. This is actually the first of her work I'd ever read. I recently re-read it. It might not hold up as well as something like Villains by Necessity, but I enjoyed it. Again. I think I read this when I was about 13 the first time and it was one of… Continue reading Review: Animist
Events: War in Israel
I don't want to say much, but I do want to address this thing that has happened in the world: Hamas attacked Israeli towns. Israel is responding. Gaza has been a hotbed of violence, political dispute, and anger for.... 80 years? Giant disclaimer: I don't know shit. At the end of the day, I feel… Continue reading Events: War in Israel
Politics: Unions
I support unions. I saw this post Wed evening and bumped my planned Thursday book review to post about this. Basically, workers unionized in 2022, and shockingly the company decided to let all of them go. I was delighted about the strike successes recently: UPS negotiating with the teamsters; the writers in entertainment; the actors… Continue reading Politics: Unions
