• 31 day star wars challenge, day 2: in which I have a favorite movie …

    I don’t think it will be a surprise that The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite of the entire series of movies because I’m not the only one who holds that opinion. It’s the best-directed (may your memory be a blessing, Irvin Kershner), has some of the best performances from the entire cast, has a…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 1

    I don’t ever remember Star Wars not being a part of my life. From as early as I can remember, my dad and I would curl up on the couch to watch the original trilogy when it came on TV – well before VHS tapes and DVDs were a thing – and I was transfixed…

    Today is my last day at my current job. It’s slightly bittersweet: the work is, for the most part, enjoyable, and since I work from home, I don’t really have to deal with the coworkers that annoy the hell out of me just by opening their mouths. My relationship with my direct supervisor is a…

    31 day challenge

    And I’m now officially vaccinated … well, once I hit two weeks after the final dose, I will be completely vaccinated against stupid Covid. So this is going to be Part 2 of the three-part Dance Dance Party Party “on rotation …” series, I suppose. Also, just as a forewarning, this is a very weird…

    A bit of background about me and my immune system: I have a very … overprotective immune system. My body has a scorched earth policy when it comes to antigens, so when I get, say, the common cold, it’s basically like I have the plague. When I get the flu? Oh, I’m out for two…

    Busy week for this girl – Camp NaNo, school, work, getting ready for full-time school attendance, sleep, gardening, parenting kitties (they are being so extra right now), trying to keep active, four or five other projects that I may or may not come to anything, getting and recovering from my second dose of the Pfizer…

    Last month – Jesus, it’s already April – I did an “on rotation …” for movie soundtracks and realized that I could 100% do an entire post on video game soundtracks. There is just something about being swept up by a rousing score as you’re trying to beat a level, especially one where you’re fighting…

    GUESS. WHAT. I GOT VACCINATED!! DANCE DANCE PARTY PARTY I mean, I know it doesn’t solve all the problems I have – crippling insomnia, out-of-control psoriasis, stress due to work and school, a creative plateau (although that description’s a bit kinder than it should be, seeing as my brain can’t create anything), etc. – and…
