    So two weeks ago I did kind of an upbeat, power-walk sort of playlist, so I wanted to go in the opposite direction this time: just ambling down the way and enjoying the chill of the air. I actually took one of those walks a few days ago, giving myself a bit of a breather,…

    Ooooh, I haven’t done one of these in a while. I figure, since it’s my birthday tomorrow, that I should celebrate by regaling you with another super fun story about how vehicular technology hates me. Remember how Mah-gret the Mazda died? Well, her untimely death at the hands of a cherry-red catalytic converter made it…

    I can’t run anymore because my knees are basically shot, but I still like to get out and walk or hike, usually with this dork in tow: His name is Nelson, and he’s one of my sister’s two rescue dogs. And he is a dork. Anyway, now that it’s colder, there are not nearly the…

    I haven’t decorated a Christmas tree in years, and when I finally went back to get my Christmas decoration bin at the house in South Carolina (you know, before the bank sold it because my husband just stopped making payments without telling me), I figured I’d just hold onto them until I finally got a…

    My deepest inner self is simultaneously Chandler and Phoebe in this scene, pretty much at all times, but I am really feeling it right now.

    Alright, I had to take a bit of a break from doing anything remotely close to using my brain (chemistry is killing me, y’all), but I am 100% still on my Mass Effect kick. How better to celebrate that than to create a playlist of all the amazing ambient music there is in that game?…

  • 30 day mass effect challenge, day 30: in which mass effect inspires me …

    I need to make this quick because I have a big test in chemistry that I have to do well on (the teacher actually postponed it because of technical issues, and guys? I nearly cried with joy), but I will say this: Mass Effect is one of two pieces of art in my adulthood that…

  • 30 day mass effect challenge, day 29: in which I discuss what I’d like to see next …

    In case you hadn’t heard, Bioware just recently announced they were releasing a remaster of the original games (seriously, just take my money), so they kind of ruined what I was planning on writing about – the first game, in particular, really needed a rework – which means I have to come up with something…

  • 30 day mass effect challenge, day 28: in which I have an opinion on the geth/quarian conflict …

    Unlike my opinion on the genophage, it’s more difficult to take a side on the conflict between the geth and the quarian people. On one hand, the quarians did try to kill a newly sentient geth populace, but on the other, the geth did drive the quarians from their homeworld into a state of exile.…
