Update: Life and Books (Nov 2024)

I forgot last weekend that I was supposed to do an update post, but it worked out alright, I got my Christmas recs post out early in the month. But then I also forgot all week to make this post, so I'm making it after midnight when it's already supposed to be...

Update: Life and Books (Oct 2024)

Spooky season is over. I can't say I did much to celebrate it in general. Despite my love of the supernatural, I've never really cared about Halloween. I know, I know, hot take because a lot of people really love it 😅 I did read a few books that could maybe be considered horror though, and I watched Jennifer's Body for the first time. I've just heard it mentioned a lot and wanted to understand...

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...

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...
