My graceful ghost dressed in lace, glitter on your face You have tied a ribbon around my soul You have conquered my heart You have made it your home That original lifeline An unbreakable bond made of melody and rhyme When my tank is empty and I have nothing left to give, I listen to…

Depressive Pacman
I have so many plans, so many unfinished drafts, but the mischievous monster in my mind says, “Stop! Watch TV or go to sleep. We can do it later.” Because of this unrelenting encouragement, I have started to believe his lies. He has made me the master of procrastination. Unable to obtain any motivation, I…
A Recap
Recently, I’ve noticed an abundance of fresh faces roaming around. With the blog’s anniversary right around the corner, I thought it might be nice to welcome my new followers with a quick recap of the past ten years. After all, they’ve missed quite a lot. 😀 1. I’ve challenged myself to write a post every…
Farewell Brakebills
On Wednesday night, after five seasons, The Magicians said their final farewell and took their last bow. The show’s premature and sudden cancellation was a tough blow for fans who had watched the series since the beginning. Over the years, the show became a beacon for imagination and inclusivity. No one had ever seen such…
God Is Not In Your Phone
Procrastination is one of my specialties. I am very good at it. It is something I do often. Day after day, I try to fight it, but it always comes back to me. Plans and lists fall by the wayside. I lose days and hours, every intention falls leisurely from my mind. My eyes are…
Movie Review: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears
Fearless, feminist icon and glamorous lady detective, Phryne Fisher, has returned from an extended hiatus for an all-new, high-flying adventure. Rejoice! Our favorite flapper is back. The Crypt of Tears was announced over two years ago as Miss Fisher’s first feature film. The movie was entirely funded by Phryne’s fiercest admirers and was supposed to…
From You the Flowers Grow
Whether you’re an artist, a writer, or creative mind, it can be difficult at times to find illumination in a world overflowing with darkness. We look for inspiration in a word, in a thought, an image, or in a song. We search for it everywhere, underneath every hiding spot, even in the oddest of places….
Audiobooks
I’ve never really liked audiobooks. They’re just not my thing. Over the years, I’ve tried to establish a connection, but my multiple attempts at coupling never yielded any sparks. My most recent expedition was mildly successful, but I think that was just because it was Outlander. Still, a partnership was never formed. It’s a wonderful…
Currently Reading: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
I’ve been wanting to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo for some time now. I’ve heard so many great things about it. There are just some books you know you’re going to like even before you read them. I’ve just finished chapter one and I’m thoroughly intrigued. A story about fame, fortune, and forbidden love?…
One Short Day
If I could spend one day with any fictional character . . . As I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, I noticed I wasn’t alone and I definitely wasn’t in my small, sparse bedroom. Too much sun filtered in through the towering windows and there was a thick grove of sage-green trees outside them….
Read Everything
When we start a new book there are certain things we look for, certain things we expect: What are the characters like? Are they likable or relatable in any way? Are they characters you want to shout at and cheer for? What about the story? Is it entertaining? Does it enthrall you? Does it move…
Book Review: Three Dark Crowns (Books 1, 2, 3, & 4)
When I first began reading the Three Dark Crowns series, I thought it too straightforward and simple. It’s true that the writing is clear-cut and not very elaborate, but the world building is illustrious. However, it lacks any intricate visual cues to truly see it in your minds eye. I had no trouble believing the…
