Hello, 2015
Well, here we are. Things have been quiet here for the last couple of months. First I was off on an extended road trip with J, exploring the entire southern half of our country, with nearly a week in Orlando to do all things Disney and Harry Potter, and then I was in our new […]

Sierra is BACK and bringing us a new King’s Quest
I’m a few weeks late to this party, but when I found out this week that Sierra, one of the premier gaming companies from my childhood, was making a comeback, I may have squeed in delight. They’ve restarted their website (with a brief teaser of…something or another) and at Gamescom they announced two games coming […]

As seen on… June 2014
Hey hey hey, here’s another monthly wrap-up post thing! I’m about a week late because things have been super busy since July 1st. At any rate, here’s what I wrote about when I wasn’t here (and I wasn’t here much, was I?). On +5 Charisma at Geek Girl Pen Pals… I featured a couple of […]

As seen on… end of May 2014
Well, it’s June, and I’m still working on my Australia reports, though between various life happenings and short out-of-town outings, it’s slow going. In the meantime, here’s what I did in the second half of May! Over at +5 Charisma on geekgirlpenpals.com, I’ve got three new movie reviews you can check out! (Click the links […]

Accidental Radio Silence
This is a placeholder more than anything else to apologize for my relative radio silence. It wasn’t intentional. Lots of life has been happening and unfortunately the blog had to suffer. More to come in April for sure, but hopefully some this month, too. And I definitely need to write a post on the differences […]

Capaldi’s got clothes! Thoughts on the Twelfth Doctor’s costume
Last week the BBC released its first images of Peter Capaldi in his official costume as the Twelfth (Thirteenth if we count the War Doctor) iteration of our favorite Time Lord, the Doctor, and oh what a costume it is! My basic reaction? Love! His coat and vest is similar to the last rendition of […]

Hello hello! As promised, the new year is bringing a new look to my site (which is still a work in progress and whatever you see now might not be what it is later). Among other updates, you can now find links to other places to read things I write (mostly movie reviews and opinion […]

December 1: post-NaNoWriMo and looking to the new year
So. NaNoWriMo is over. I am slightly exhausted but mostly really satisfied. I finished the month with over 75,000 words, which brings my grand total to over 120,000 words. Woot! I’m giving myself at least the next week off to let my poor brain recuperate, then it’s into rewrite-landia. I know the blog got a […]

So, it’s July
And I haven’t posted in almost a month. To be fair, there’s been a lot happening in personal-life-world so it’s no surprise, but I realized I have a draft from June…teenth that’s nothing but a title and it’s really time to get back to it. So here we go. Things happening right now: The Duke […]

Thoughts on Boston, Editorial Choices, and why I’m choosing not to look.
This has been stewing in my mind for a couple of days, so you’ll have to bear with me. The whole world is aware of the bombings that took place two days ago at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Thanks to this age of social media, in which everyone has a phone and […]
