Okay, so this year’s Horrorpalooza was amazing. I had a lot of great recommendations from IRL friends and internet pals, and the likelihood that I watch more Mario Bava films on the regular is pretty high (thanks, Liz, for the rec!). Not all were winners – I legit hate Scream and had to stop watching…

For the past four years, I’ve been almost entirely working a night shift schedule, and on the surface, you’d think I’d be all for it: more money, less management and administrative presence, slower pace (usually), closer relationships with my coworkers, etc. It’s pretty great, if you don’t count for one simple thing. My body has…

On one hand, how are we already halfway through October? On the other, how it not 2027 yet? Or 2028? Because the last ten months have been a constant bombardment of insanity for me, on both a micro and macro level. I could go into this in detail, and honestly, I did when I first…

Yep, it’s back! Because dammit, I’m going to try and make my life more fun. Now, I work 3-4 twelve-hour shifts a week, so I’m not going to be able to consume a horror movie every single day. But! That just means I’m going to tweak this year’s version of Horrorpalooza: I’m including horror literature.…

Even taking away the homesickness I knew I was going to feel, moving to Michigan was not going to be easy for me. Moving across town is expensive, so yeah, it was going to be thousands of dollars to move across states. So what did I do? I said, “fuck it,” and bought a 2004…

Shit. I thought I had posted more recently than February, and here we are, already in August. Whoops. Well, a lot has changed over the last six months. To summarize: bought an RV, did two more travel nurse contracts, accepted a permanent position in Michigan and moved up there (yes, in the RV), adopted another…

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Ann Arbor, MI, for a bit of a tour. See, I’d interviewed for a job (and felt pretty good about my odds at being offered the position), but I needed to see if I’d want to pack up and move my entire life permanently. I’d been living…

I’ve written, deleted, and rewritten this post about fifteen times because honestly? What else could I say that hasn’t already been said by thousands of people with much larger platforms than I? What perspective could I offer that would be unique or helpful to others? Who would care? My social media presence isn’t what it…

Back in December, I turned 42, and although it’s not really a milestone birthday, I went full on navel-gazing. So much of my life over the past two years has been about returning to me, evaluating my values, my habits and practices, and it all kind of solidified into this … thesis? I don’t really…

Aaaaaaand I’m back! I tried doing only Paradiso-related things on this website, and yeah … I wasn’t too happy with it. My entire identity isn’t within my writing projects, and there was so much I wanted to share that wasn’t about a fictional space station orbiting Mars! And really, so much has happened over the…
