Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, the Captain America: Civil War premiered during Jimmy Kimmel tonight. Who’s side are you on? And what do you hope makes it into the movie? (I hope that we get the moment where Bucky punches Iron Man in the crotch. It’s long been one of my favorite…

Review: The Good Dinosaur
I was fortunate enough to get to see an advanced screening of Disney/Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur, and I wanted to get this review up in time for you to decide whether or not it’s right for your family. As someone who writes Alternate Universe fanfics, I ask myself a lot of questions that start with…
It’s DONE.
When I first attempted NaBloPoMo – I mentioned that our kitchen had been undergoing a renovation. And… it’s finished! While most of the work had been done when I took the picture below, we were waiting on the electrician to come up and finish a few things. So this is our kitchen. They ripped out…
Tumblr: Goodbye Replies and Hello Messaging.
I have long been a fan of Tumblr. While it’s hard to describe, it’s a very visual way of communicating. And it’s fun, most of the time. Now that Tumblr has been acquired by Yahoo, they’ve slowly been migrating towards a more homogenous social media experience. Which means what? It’s acting a lot more like…
NaBloPoMo #5 – WE HAVE A KITCHEN!
In post #1 this month, I talked about the kitchen renovation, and how stressful it’s been. And this week was probably some of the craziest, just because of the number of people working on the house at a time. Yesterday, the cabinet guy came to make some adjustments and put on the last bit of…

NaBloPoMo #3 – The Model who ‘quit’ social media
So for the most part, I’m posting these a day late because I write them late at night, so I publish and backdate them the next day. This blog, however, is an exception. I’m sure you’ve probably heard about Essena O’Neil the Australian model who quit social media, and posted a video saying that everyone…
NaBloPoMo #2 – Comikaze 2015
I don’t drink, but I have a hangover. I’m an introvert, and have a chronic illness – I tend not to overbook my weekends, but sometimes things can’t be helped. In the course of the weekend, we had a 5k, Halloween necessities, and went to a comic convention. Even the Oldest Kidlet who is most…
NaBloPoMo #1 – Living in Chaos
This is going to have to be quick, because it’s going up so late. I’m attempting NaNoBloPoMo – the blogging equivalent of National Novel Writing Month. Only it’s writing a blog post a day. I’m not sure why I’m doing it. Things are plenty stressful here at the moment. We’re under going a kitchen renovation….
