Continue reading →: Mid-Month Mugshot: FebruaryMug lore: This mug is one of a trio gifted to me this past Christmas. Several years ago when I was a broke college student, I had exactly two mugs, both from World Market: one with a black flower mosaic and one with pink swirled marble similar to the picture…

Continue reading →: Advent of the Odd AdsOf the few select social media sites I occasionally spend time on, several have gotten weird lately when it comes to advertisements. I’ve gotten used to ads that have been hand-picked by the algorithm for my viewing, and those mostly breeze by the peripherals of my life without my brain…

Backstory time. *old quavery lady voice* Back in my day, the internet existed when I was growing up but my parents were staunchly on the side of the “healthy kids should play outside and not stare at screens all day” style of upbringing. That, coupled with their insistence on retaining…

Continue reading →: 2025 in Reading and WritingI read a lot and I wrote a lot last year (compared to the previous couple of years) and a few changes in my habits are responsible for most of the ground gained. First, I made a goal of writing at least one word on a project every day. Second,…

Books 1-3: The Beginning (Side note: if you haven’t read part 1, it’s here.) I read Lord of the Rings right before launching into WoT and am glad I did. It’s hard to read fantasy without seeing Tolkien’s influence, but WoT feels almost like a new world in an adjacent…
