So, I have made no progress on any of the books from last time that I said I was in the middle of reading. Which is vaguely hilarious. And I seem to be in a streak of reading all these self-help type books lately, which isn’t a bad thing, and may in fact have motivated […]

TV – Tidying Up with Marie Kondo (Netflix)
At the beginning of the year, right around the time that everyone has New Year’s resolutions and makes a vow to change their life, Netflix dropped a bomb on all of this: Marie Kondo’s TV show. If you don’t know who Marie Kondo is, chances are you’ve been living under a rock (or don’t care […]
Books – March 2019 Roundup
LOL. Remember how I hoped that Baby B would sleep well during my vacation so that I could get some reading done? Yeah. That didn’t really happen at all. Instead, she cried for much of the time when she should have been asleep, and during them time she was asleep, she insisted on being held. […]
Movie – Molly’s Game
Back when I was in college, that’s when I remember poker becoming a “thing” – the kind of thing where they broadcast tournaments on television, and it seemed like everyone was learning or re-learning how to play. I was always a very very middling sort of player – I knew enough so that I was […]
Movie – Ready Player One
You know how there’s that saying, “Never meet your heroes”? I feel like there should be a correlary for the movie industry “never make a movie when you don’t respect the original property”. Saying that makes it sound like I didn’t like the movie version of Ready Player One, which is not entirely correct. There’s […]
Theater – The Lightning Thief
Many years ago – nearly 8 according to Goodreads – I picked up a series of young adult books about a modern boy who finds out he is a demigod. That is, son of an ancient Greek God with a human mother. His name was Percy Jackson, and it turned out there was a whole […]
Books – February 2019 Roundup
First off, apologies for the lack of post on Wednesday. I was sick, and in no state to write anything. This month was obviously slower than last. But the good news is that I’m still ahead of the game according to Goodreads, and I’ve got a vacation coming up, which is always a good time […]
Books – January 2019 Roundup
So, remember how I was only cautiously optimistic last month about being able to read 48 books in 2019? Well, if January is any indication of how things will go (and really – it shouldn’t be), I am going to crush 2019. As in, potentially read more than 80 books. I will be a book […]
Books – December 2018 Roundup
I tried SO HARD to get my modified reading goal accomplished. And I was so close. The only reason I stayed up as late as I did on New Years Eve was to try and finish one more book, but I just couldn’t get it done. I even read two comic book volumes that had […]
Books – November 2018 Roundup
This was a very good month. 5 books down is a good way to end things, especially considering it’s a “shorter” month with only 30 days. I felt like this was a month of mostly easy reading with a little challenge right in the middle. FINISHED: Birds of a Feather by Jacqueline Winspear Another fluffy […]
