I’m sipping ginger lemon honey tea as I write this post for three reasons. One, it’s fucking delicious. Two, I’m trying to drink more tea as a way to wean myself off Coke Zero. Three, sigh, I’m fighting something off. I hate even typing those words because it seems like I’ve just recovered from my… Continue Reading
Social media is not going anywhere, and since it’s become a mainstay in the way we converse, I decided to address a few issues I have with it. First of all, Facebook, stop switching my feed from Most Recent to Top Stories. Also, do not wish me a good morning, afternoon, or evening–it’s none of… Continue Reading
I am an inveterate mystery reader. I consume them as if they were chocolate, which, in case you don’t know, is on a daily basis. I’ve fallen off them a bit lately, but I can still read a four-hundred page mystery in a couple hours. Side note: When I’m flying, I like to read a… Continue Reading
I like the Dark Souls series* a great deal as any faithful reader of my blog knows. I’ve killed all the bosses in the first and third game solo at least once except for in the DLCs of DS III. I’ve played through all three games at least twice, and I’ve gone through NG++ twice… Continue Reading
I was in the Syracuse airport yesterday on my way home from visiting Ian upstate NY, trying to ignore everything around me, but I couldn’t block out fucking CNN. Why does every airport have CNN blaring from their TVs? I deliberately ban CNN from polluting my life, but I don’t get that choice when I’m… Continue Reading
I was flying yesterday, so there’s no post today. I’m also fighting off something. Ugh. Have a look at Maru throughout the years. Continue Reading
There is a news item circulating around Twitter this morning about a man who was forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight. This is the tweet I saw: The man was a doctor who had to see patients in the morning. Also, overbooking should be illegal. https://t.co/8enI5yXhvj — Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) April 10, 2017 I… Continue Reading
Ed. Note: I am talking about the game, Hollow Knight, in this post. There will be spoilers, but no boss names. Be forewarned. As I wander through Dirtmouth, tattered cape flapping in the wind, and my nail strapped to my back, I marvel at the lush but bleak environments surrounding me. I don’t say a word… Continue Reading
It’s my birthday–or will be by the time you read this. I’m turning forty-six, which is amazing to me on many levels. One, I never thought I’d make it to thirty, and I passed that a long time ago. Two, time really does go faster the older you get*, and I swear I was thirty-five… Continue Reading
I was reading a Facebook’s friend post about her friction with her doctor over her weight, and I found myself nodding in agreement as I read. I’ve shared my own horror stories about insensitive doctors and my weight, and I’ve had several, but one really sticks out in my head. At the time, I was… Continue Reading
