30 day challenge

You know how when you get a new job and you’re sort of trying to figure out how to maneuver the office climate and what you’re actually supposed to be doing? And then after some flubs, you finally just catch on? That final feeling of, “oh, thank god, I got this shit?” This is what…

This one is kind of a no-brainer: Season One was trying to get its footing and failed on so many levels. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: first seasons tend to be iffy by default. Television shows are a collaborative effort: all the different groups have to get together and figure out…
-
This was almost a tie between my actual choice and Season Four because I love the latter so much. Paul Rudd is in it! But I had to go with Season Five for one big reason. As much as I love Leslie and Ben as a couple, the first part of the fourth season dragged…
-
This is going to be short and sweet because I don’t think I really need to delve too deeply into this answer. I know he’s supposed to be a hated character, and he’s as close to an actual villain Parks and Rec ever really had, but I just feel like there’s nothing really that interesting…

I’m not even going to hide behind a jump: Craig Fucking Middlebrooks. I loved Craig the minute he walked into my life, and I now follow Billy Eichner on practically anything he does because he is hilarious. Seriously, if you haven’t watched Hulu’s Difficult People, you need to. STAT. Anyway, Craig doesn’t come on the show until…

THIS IS SO HARD. WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS FOR DAY TWO??? BECAUSE I AM A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT APPARENTLY. I really feel like I just had a Leslie Knope moment right there, but I wasn’t speaking in hyperbole. The choice leaves me feeling incredibly conflicted. There are moments in which every person on Parks and Rec…

I am one of those people who never really gets into anything right at the beginning, at least in terms of media. Like with Game of Thrones, I’ve watched Seasons 1 and 2, part of Season 3, and most of Season 7. Don’t judge me. I have been meaning to watch Ash vs. the Evil Dead, The Handmaid’s Tale, Maniac, and like thirty…

National Novel Writing Month is coming up again, so you know what that means! Well, maybe you don’t? Basically, I’m going to be so deep into writing that keeping up regular posting will be all but impossible, so I have prepared a challenge for the thirty days I will be a giant heap of nervous…

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…
-
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…
