    I am kind of upset that this is my Astrology Song, but whatevs. Oh, but if you get the chance, you should totally check out the other signs. My favorite is probably either the Scorpio or Libra ones, although the Gemini one is absolutely hilarious. Good or bad hilarious is really up to your interpretation,…

  • Dorian: I can’t believe you’re scared of magic, Sera. It’s a gift as mundane to me as your bow to you. Surely you see there’s nothing to fear in a properly used tool. Sera: Tell that to all the “proper” mages waving their tools in people’s faces! Dorian: There’s an image. Sera: What about Coryphamus? How many “proper tools” does he…

    You know how some songs just get stuck in your head, sometimes for no reason even though you haven’t heard it in forever? Well, I right now have this one on perpetual repeat:  I’m not complaining. I mean, I usually have that lovely bunch of coconuts song or “I’m Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee,” so this…

    I don’t remember what motivated me to call my lawyer on that day, but when I hung up the phone, I was divorced. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting exactly? Maybe a wave of relief, or a burst of excitement? Sadness? But all I got was this … numbness. I put on airs of…

  • 30 Day Challenge: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Day 30: How Buffy Inspires Me

    If there was any show that has inspired me more than any other, it is 100% Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can’t even deny it; many shows have inspired me as a writer afterward (Parks and Recreation, Battlestar Galactica, and Orphan Black, just to name a few), but none of those even hold a candle to how much…

    ALARM BELLS ALARM BELLS I WON NANO THIS YEAR SOMEHOW I know, I know, I don’t actually win anything, but I’m really excited about this. After the failure that was Inktober, I needed this. I didn’t get all the badges because I kept forgetting to log in and update my total word count, so that’s something to…

  • 30 Day Challenge: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Day 29: What I’d Like to See Next

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer never really ended: it continued, at least until September of this year, in comic form, and there’s apparently a reboot/reimagining/continuation/whatever in the works, about which I have many, conflicting feelings. I was actually surprised at the number of BTVS novels that exist, and my to-read pile just got that much larger, even…

  • 30 Day Challenge: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Day 28: Best Giles-Centric Episode

    Honestly, this was actually incredibly difficult because I had to choose between two episodes: Season Four’s “A New Man” and Season Two’s “The Dark Age.” Rupert Giles spends a lot of time and effort presenting himself in a proper manner, using his speech and intelligence to prove that, yes, he is indeed the smartest person…

  • 30 Day Challenge: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Day 27: Best Xander-Centric Episode

    Yes, I dislike Xander tremendously, and that feeling has only increased as I’ve gotten older. I can remember feeling for him back in middle and high school, but once I realized he had all the hallmarks of a Nice Guy, I reevaluated all of my sympathy, which I later discovered was due to a whole…

  • 30 Day Challenge: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Day 26: Best Willow-Centric Episode

    Note #1: Sorry this is late! I’ve been readjusting since Thanksgiving – long story – and part of that is getting my sleep schedule on track. That does not leave much time for doing much of anything other than work and rest, but … it’s a process.  Note #2: Next month, I’m going to be…
