Update: Life and Books (Aug 2024)

I forgot that I was supposed to make a post today, so it's a little late. That's ok. I also posted my Wednesday post on Tuesday. Keeping track of days of the weeks is hard lol. Anyway it doesn't matter because I have nothing to talk about! Extra stressed about something and having to use energy that I don't have, but hopefully it'll be fine. Exhausted and aching all over from doing some...

Update: Life and Books (July 2024)

I am so tired. Not, "I'll heat up some leftovers, sit on the couch and watch a movie, then get some sleep and feel better in the morning," tired. This is 13 years of chronic illness tired. It's, "I haven't eaten or drank in 6 hours and have spent the past 3 trying to force myself to just stand up and walk to the kitchen." And, "Even if I could stand up, eating and digesting food takes more energy...
 
Random Musings: My Favorite Things (But Not the Ones You Think)

Random Musings: My Favorite Things (But Not the Ones You Think)

It's my ninth blogiversary! Or it will be in a few days. It's also 8:15 pm, and I totally forgot I needed to make this post by midnight or so. A little peek behind the curtain lol. Anyway, nine years is longer than most things I've done in my life. (And that's nine years since I started this blog. Abandoned blogs before this one don't count.) I've said before that I was always someone who...

Update: Life and Books (June 2024)

Another month of nothing. Just being tired and having all the usual aches and pains and worrying about things. But when I wasn't doing that (or rather, while I was doing that, since I'm always doing that) I was playing more Baldur's Gate 3. I would say I'm sorry that's all I've talked about for like six months, but I'm not. It's just so good. Here's a picture of Wyll trying to convince a guard to...

Update: Life and Books (May 2024) – AKA That Month When I Share Fun Facts about Sea Creatures

So I fell behind on blogging a bit in May. I was feeling more rundown than usual and just wasn't up to making blog posts. When I was feeling well enough to do stuff and focus, I was---big surprise---playing Baldur's Gate 3. I'm on my sixth playthrough and still having fun, finding new things, falling more and more in love with all the characters. It has also become more and more of a dress-up...

Update: Life and Books (Apr 2024)

Well, I'm back to having no real news to share this month. But that's not a bad thing. It's better than having bad news. I just spent another month using my free time to play Baldur's Gate 3. I really can't express how great this game is and how much I love it. I have now played five times (with a different romance and class each time), but I still don't want to stop. Anyway, here are some posts...

Update: Life and Books (Mar 2024) – Peacocks, Punching Books, and My Reading Mojo is Back!

Guess what, everyone! I have something cool to share this time that isn't about games! It's peacocks! Well peacock. I heard a weird noise outside, so I opened my curtains and found this! Wild peafowl have lived around here for a long time. I saw some in front of the house once, like five years ago. But having one just outside my window with tail feathers all spread and everything was genuinely...

Update: Life and Books (Feb 2024)

I know my monthly updates have mostly been about games lately, but, uh... this one is also going to be about games 😅 (Also some books though!) Honestly, everything has just felt like a lot lately. So I have retreated into games. Is that the healthiest thing to do? Well, I'm chronically ill and disabled, so I don't have a lot of options, and it's certainly healthier...
 
Random Musings: Movies I Love

Random Musings: Movies I Love

I just wanted to do a chill post, and movies aren't that far out of the realm of books and games, right? It's all stories! And some of these even started as books! So it's still a good topic for my blog, I think. Plus I get to just chat about things I love. Things you might love too. And if you feel like it, you can tell me about your favorite movies, and then we'll all have some new...

Update: Life and Books (Jan 2024)

Ok someone please tell me how to intro these posts, because I don't know anymore. I've had this blog for over eight years, I've used every update intro that exists. There are no more left. I have spent my free time this month playing Baldur's Gate 3! Again! I finished another playthrough. It's just such a cool game. I love all the characters. I've been posting about it a bunch on Tumblr. (If...
