An explanation of why I’ve been absent from here

I have been building a LEGO museum!! It’s amazing what all you can find when you have a bunch of LEGO sets all jumbled together in oversized totes. But yes. In between the whole working overtime (at 2 jobs) and trying to take care of myself, I haven’t had much brain power to work onContinue reading “An explanation of why I’ve been absent from here”

A Musing on the Isekai Genre

Hey, y’all. Pardon my lack of posts; working overtime regularly really takes it out a person’s ability to think clearly outside of work. I started musing on things while I was doing dishes, and went off on a tangent of a genre I like: the Isekai story. So I figured maybe I should take y’allContinue reading “A Musing on the Isekai Genre”

Movie Review: “The Great Muppet Caper”

Howdy, all my non-existent readers. I apologize for the lack of posts over the last month. Losing my job, hunting for a new job, gaining a new job, then getting used to the new job, which includes getting used to waking up at 4:30 a.m. and hitting snooze until 5:00 a.m…. that all takes upContinue reading “Movie Review: “The Great Muppet Caper””

Fiction: Chapter 3, “The Ex-Demon Lord Becomes an Adventurer!?”

Chapter 3 Cecilia looked at Kida in confusion. “What do you mean, the forest wants to play?” “Do people not fear the forest anymore?” “We avoid the forest because it’s easy to get lost. I don’t know if people fear it.” Kida shook her head. “The forest is alive. You’ve heard of hamadryads, right? TheContinue reading “Fiction: Chapter 3, “The Ex-Demon Lord Becomes an Adventurer!?””

A Scream From the Depths of Depression

I want to hope.In spite of everything going wrong.In spite of drowning in the darkness.In spite of being shattered by the shouting.My heart is cracked and fragmented, splintering into thousands of pieces.My mind is clouded by exhaustion and warring with shadows.My lungs are screaming for clean air above the soot-choked clouds.I want to be ableContinue reading “A Scream From the Depths of Depression”

Fiction: Chapter 2, “The Ex-Demon Lord Becomes an Adventurer!?”

Trigger warning: for those who might be sensitive, there is an instance that can be classified as self-harm. Chapter 2 The group hadn’t exited the plains by sunset. Cecilia called a halt, but was disappointed to realize that the grass would prevent them from lighting a fire and cooking supper. She comforted herself with theContinue reading “Fiction: Chapter 2, “The Ex-Demon Lord Becomes an Adventurer!?””

Webtoon Recommend: “My Giant Nerd Boyfriend”

Hey, all. A short blog post this week, recommending the Webtoon comic “My Giant Nerd Boyfriend.” It’s a slice-of-life webcomic about the artist/author Fishball (pseudonym) and her boyfriend Mickey. The whole original premise was just chronicling funny things that happened between the short Fishball and her tall boyfriend Mickey. Some episodes are simply “what-if” scenarios,Continue reading “Webtoon Recommend: “My Giant Nerd Boyfriend””
