You all know I love talking about the ridiculous things that happen in my Sims games, but, some time ago, I decided to try playing the original The Sims game again. It was the first version of the game I ever played, back in elementary school. I figured it'd be fun for like half an hour, just for the nostalgia. Imagine my surprise when I kept playing and playing and wanting to go back to it!...
I feel like I kind of neglect science fiction books on this blog, but I do read sci-fi books sometimes! So I thought it would be fun to take ten different types of sci-fi worlds I'm familiar with and rank them based entirely on my own personal opinion about how much I'd want to live in them. Then you can tell me how wrong I am in the comments and how you would rank these instead...
I wrote this poem in 2019 for a little competition, but then the competition never ended up happening, so I figured I'd just share it here! The rules were that the entry had to be under a certain number of words, had to be about alien abduction, and it had to include at least two words from a specific list. I was particularly inspired by one of the words, and this is what I came up...
I've had this post somewhat ready to go for a while now and was just waiting to add a few more tweets, but I don't know when I'll really get to play again, and we could all use some laughs right now, I think. Hopefully my sims can provide some comic relief for everyone! They do get up to weird shit sometimes. Also, don't you love the screenshot I chose for the featured image above? One person...
I've recently started listening to podcasts, and guess what: They're great! Well, at least, the ones I've been listening to are great. And, as you may have guessed from the title, they're also funny, and they're sci-fi/fantasy. (I have a brand, and I stick to it. What can I say.) One of these (Gay Future) I thought was hilarious from the start. One of these (Roommate from Hell) never quite...
I'm taking a brief break from books today to talk about something else I love nearly as much: The Sims! The Sims 3, to be precise, which is my personal favorite version. I sometimes tweet about the weird things my sims get up to, but I know not everyone follows me on Twitter. Even if you do, it's easy to miss tweets. So I thought it'd be fun to gather up all my Sims 3 tweets and put them in a...
So it turns out these posts are a lot of fun. When I posted the first one of these strangest reviews posts, I was worried you all wouldn't enjoy it, but you did! And I enjoyed it too! So here are five more strange book reviews from yours truly...
As soon as I saw this tag over at Birdie Bookworm, I knew I would be doing it. I used to love MASH when I was a kid! In fact, I got caught playing it once during class in 5th grade and got in trouble lol. I'm pretty sure that was the only time I ever actually got a punishment in elementary school (it was like a ten minute time-out). I was a good kid, but I took risks and rebelled to play MASH...
I like to think of this post as proof that a) you really don't need to write "professional" reviews to have a book blog, and b) positive reviews can in fact be fun! I also like finding ways to continue talking about great books that I totally recommend and think people should read, since oftentimes books just get forgotten after the review is posted, and this seemed like a good way to do...
I was looking through old TTT topics on The Broke and the Bookish for inspiration one day, and I came across one about the top ten characters you'd want with you if you were stranded on a deserted island. First I started thinking things like, "Oh, I want people who could hunt and start fires and survive, maybe people who are knowledgeable enough to make some sort of communication device from the...
