Random Musings: Scenes in Books, Movies, & Shows that Disturbed Me as a Kid

Random Musings: Scenes in Books, Movies, & Shows that Disturbed Me as a Kid

I meant to do this in October because it feels sorta Halloween-y, or at least some of my things on the list feel Halloween-y. But I just wasn't feeling up to putting the post together, so I'm doing it now. What better way to celebrate the holidays than by talking about the things that have traumatized us? Joking, none of these were genuinely traumatic, but they did freak me out a bit. I...
 
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...
 
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...

Random Musings: Slightly Spooky/Creepy/Horror-ish Books, Games, Movies, & More for Scaredy Cats

I know it's a bit late this year since October is almost over, but blog posts are timeless! And perhaps I'll add to this list in the future if I discover more slightly spooky stuff to recommend (which is why I included the "and more" bit, since I might end up adding podcasts or something), since who knows if I'll ever find enough in the future to make a whole part two. Anyway, I don't normally...

Random Musings: A YouTube Channel that Brightens My Day (AKA Drawfee Appreciation Post)

I feel like everyone could use some fun and happiness and distraction in their life right now. So I'm here to give a recommendation that brings fun and happiness and joy to my life in the hopes that it will do the same for you.

Random Musings: Free and Cheap Software I Use for Blogging, Organization, Art, and Other Needs

This is a post I've been wanting to write a for a while, and this seemed like a good time for it. I'm sure a lot of people are struggling with finances right now and looking for ways to cut costs. Anyway, because of my own situation, I've had to find ways to do the things I love on a budget. So I thought I'd share some of the cheaper or free alternatives I use for things like blogging and...

Random Musings: The Mouse Utopia-Turned-Dystopia that Sounds Like a YA Book & Other Interesting Facts I’ve Learned Lately

If you've visited my blog lately, you probably know I've been having health problems, and because of those problems, I've had to find some new ways to entertain myself all day. One of the things I've found is nonfiction podcasts and YouTube videos with interesting facts about history, science, and all sorts of random things! Some facts have been so interesting that they've stuck out and stayed...
 
Random Musings: My 5 Favorite Disney Movies

Random Musings: My 5 Favorite Disney Movies

Disney movies! There's just something so lovable about them, isn't there? They're not books, which is what I usually talk about here, but they're still stories, so I've decided to make a post talking about my personal favorites :-) Just a warning, there will be unmarked spoilers for some of the movies in this post. I figure that probably won't be much of an issue but wanted to mention it just...
