Seattle in Polaroids

I took a weekend trip to Seattle to see Riddle of Fire, and I brought my instant camera with me to capture the fun memories. I was having too much fun to take very many photos, but the few I took were pretty neat!

February Reading Wrap Up

I have been powering through books like nobody’s business lately, and in an effort to get back into consistent blog posts, I wanted to dive into some of the books I finish in February! (Yes, I know I am very very late). I have to say, I have never read this many books in a MONTH before. My secret: AUDIOBOOKS!! I got a library card in my new city, which I then used to sign into the Libby app, and then went to town!

The Move-a-Week Log, Weeks 1-5

Welcome one and all to a new section of the blog! Last year, I made it a goal to try and watch one new movie a week–I had been falling back into my old comfort watches, and I figured if I’m going to be making and writing movies in the future, watching The Blue Brothers for the millionth time probably wouldn’t be much help.

However, I quickly lost momentum with that goal, as work and then moving really got in the way. This year, I’m giving myself the goal again and planning to follow through with it. 52 weeks in the year, 52 movies. That’s a pretty good goal, yeah?

New Year, New Life Update

It feels like months since I have last written a blog post, but really it’s only been one.

I’ve written three drafts of this blog post, each one not feeling right. That may be my inner critic talking, bashing me down. Truth be told, a lot has happened in only a few months, and it’s hard to figure out where to start.

Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden – Book Review

This is part two of four of the books I read during Pride month (or rather, for Pride—I am a rather slow reader, or even a mood reader sometimes). On my quest to find more queer literature to read, especially ones with happy endings, I came upon the lesbian classic Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden. Published in 1982, the novel follows Liza Winthrop and Annie Kenyon meeting, becoming close friends, and soon developing a romance.

Book Review–The Secret of Lillian Velvet

It’s no secret that Australian author Jaclyn Moriarty is one of my favorites. Her characters always feel so alive, and her stories are always keep me guessing until the last page.

Thoughts While Playing “Life is Strange”

I’ve always heard about the Life is Strange games, and I was lucky enough to find a copy for my switch! I had a blast playing it, and when I went back to replay it, I noticed a lot more things than I did the first go-around! Below are my thoughts I had while play the game, and the questions that would come up!

Oregon on Polaroid

I took a roadtrip during the first week of October, and brought my instant camera with me to capture some fun memories. Here are the best ones.

The Sporadic Life Update

Well, here we are again. One year of this blog being official.

What has happened in the one year? I’ve already talked about my job closing down, grief, and seeing my favorite podcast live (still one of the top ten moments in the year). What else? It’s like when people ask you “how was school?” and you have to try REALLY hard about what school ACTUALLY has been like. Otherwise, everything goes out the ears.

From the Siskiyou – When the Weather’s Got You Down, What do You do?

Since the weather’s getting colder, I thought it would be a great time to republish one of my first articles I wrote for The Siskiyou. A lot of the resources were strictly for my university, but I hope you find some of the tips helpful!
