• 31 day star wars challenge, day 25: in which there is something I love that everyone else hates …

    I know that the fandom hated The Last Jedi, but I do not care: I love it, for all of its faults. This Screen Crush article by sums up my feelings perfectly: we need to let go of the past and forge into territory that is frightening and unfamiliar. It’s what helps us grow. As…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 24: in which I have a favorite video game …

    Under normal circumstances, I might say that the first – or hell, even the second – Knights of the Old Republic game is my favorite, because yeah, normally it would be the correct statement. I’ve played that game so many times that I’ve lost count, and it’s even something I returned to recently when I…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 23: in which I have a favorite television series …

    There are so many television shows out now based on the Star Wars universe that it can be really difficult to narrow down what is your favorite. I haven’t seen The Bad Batch yet (although I plan on it, probably after I finish #horrorpalooza2021), and what I’ve seen of The Mandalorian is truly amazing work…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 22: in which I have a favorite one-shot movie …

    Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is not a perfect film, I understand. The first half of it is … lagging, we shall say. I wish it would have been presented as more of an event film than it was – I feel like they would have benefited from watching Ocean’s 11 and been like,…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 21: in which something didn’t happen I wish did …

    Oh, boy. I am about to ruffle some feathers. There are a lot of things that annoy me about the prequels, but one of my biggest issues with them is the shoe-horning of popular characters from the original series. Don’t get me wrong; using recognizable fan-favorites is a great promotional tool, and when it’s done…

    Good gravy, I just need to finish this challenge. Every time I pop on here to check on things or to update stuff, I’m reminded of how this is just hanging out, waiting for me to complete it. So be prepared to see a lot of this challenge over the next several days. Plus, I’m…

    My wonderful sister gifted me tickets to see Alanis Morissette all the way back in 2019 for my birthday, and I cannot express how excited I was: not only was Alanis going to be singing directly to me (shut up), but Garbage and Liz Phair would be there, too?? What kind of fever dream was…

    Yep, I’m doing it again this year. I had so much fun last October that a) I actually watched some horror movies in a non-Halloween-adjacent setting and b) I decided that it would 100% be worth doing a second time. Hell, it may become a yearly thing? Who knows? Plus, I’m needing a nice way…

    Theme: whatever the hell I want. Why? I’ll tell you why – it’s fucking finals week. I feel like never, ever in my personal history have I spent this much effort studying for exams. Or for, like, anything. I mean, it’s important that I know this stuff because I’ll be taking care of people, but…

    Nursing school is hard, in case anyone was wondering. One of my classmates came up with this idea for a Power Pose, a superhero standing position (with your hands on your hips) as some type of hype-up song plays in the background (we do this before tests because we are dorks), and honestly? I love…
