In less than a week, I will have seen The Rise of Skywalker, the culmination of the newest Star Wars trilogy. It’s thrilling because the idea of a new Star Wars movie never stops being exciting to my tired, late-twenties brain. 'cuz, dude, it’s a new Star Wars movie! The newest trailer (which, admittedly, is… Continue reading A Celebration

Catching ’em All
I recently picked up Pokémon: Shield because I have a Switch and several friends of mine have it and I was starting to feel left out. Also because I haven’t played a proper Pokémon game in ages, and here was one that I had the system for so here I am. And it’s adorable and… Continue reading Catching ’em All
DID IT
Hey. Today, being the last day of November, is when NaNoWriMo comes to an end. And I friggin' did it. 50,000 words (and change) written in a month. Somehow. I've no real idea where this story's going and I'm pretty sure about 50% of those words are trash, but I did it. That's 50,000 words done. Finishing… Continue reading DID IT
Ah, Crap, It’s 7pm.
Hey! If you're wondering, yes, I'm still doing NaNoWriMo while trying to remain a functional adult! (I've also, by my count, consumed, twenty beers, nine cups of coffee, seven bottles of kombucha, and seven whiskey sours [amongst other beverages] while writing this month [yes, I am keeping count, and yes, I usually write in the… Continue reading Ah, Crap, It’s 7pm.

Hello. It’s November, a month where some people opt to forgo shaving for no other reason the alteration (and sometimes fundraising). It is also a month where foolish people try and write a 50,000 word novel with in its thirty days. Reader, I am one of those fools. In light of National Novel Writing Month,… Continue reading A Post
What Is It Good For?
I’ve logged a really unholy number of hours in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. It’s a fun game, and there’s just so much to do. Plus, I’m easily distracted and so merrily go off assassinating nation leaders and taking part in conquest battles. It was during one of those conquest battles where I was fighting alongside the… Continue reading What Is It Good For?
Shoeless Superheroes
Today we’re going to talk about one panel from a comic: It’s from Agents of Atlas issue #3 by Greg Pak and Nico Leon with colors by Rachelle Rosenberg and lettering by Joe Sabino. At this moment, the titular agents are meeting in their secret headquarters to discuss some potentially nefarious shenanigans that are happening.… Continue reading Shoeless Superheroes
Let’s Rank Star Wars Movies!
There’s a thing going around on the internet where people are ranking the Star Wars movies and, of course, other people complaining about people ranking the Star Wars movies. Now because I am who I am, I saw this and thought "Hey, that’d make a great rant essay!" since it’s an opportunity for an introspective… Continue reading Let’s Rank Star Wars Movies!
Arthur Fleck and Emmet Brickowski
I saw Joker this week. It’s a movie that’s exceptionally well crafted, and also a movie that’s profoundly disturbed and ill-equipped to handle its subject matter to the point where it enters into the realm of very bad taste. This movie is one that kinda really hates women and also merrily parrots the idea that… Continue reading Arthur Fleck and Emmet Brickowski
What I’ve Been Reading
I like reading. Always have. University was both a boon and a hindrance for that love, though. Courtesy of my course of study, I read a lot. There were classes where I was going through a different book every two weeks. I read books that I might not have checked out of my own volition,… Continue reading What I’ve Been Reading
