This post was inspired by a post by the Culture Monk, which you can find here. I started typing a comment and it became long enough that I figured it was better as its own post. I know some people who have been addicted to games, and I’ve been there myself. First off though, I’d … Continue reading
I did this last year, and I wanted to keep up this annual tradition (of one year). However, I’m going to try and add a little more commentary this time. They are pretty much in the order I read them, and not in the order I would rate them. Without further ado… On Writing by … Continue reading
Warning: some gruesome details and pictures. Also my language isn’t the prettiest it’s ever been, so pardon me in advance. I recently finished a book called Facing the Congo, by Jeffrey Tayler. Minor spoilers are ahead, but this post is not really about the book itself, so much as the discoveries I made as a … Continue reading
I never even thought of doing this, but I read a similar post by Ross Murray, and it seemed like a novel idea (har har). I’ve never been one to keep a list of what I’ve read, so honestly can’t remember everything. Or rather, I can’t remember whether I read it this year or last, … Continue reading
Yuuki and I decided this year to write up our goals for this year so they feel a little more “set in stone (paper).” I figured I’d share them here to make it even harder for me to go back on them. Without further ado, here are my resolutions. Write at least one page of … Continue reading
So, I know I’ve been a bad blogger and not very active. November’s a bit busy of a month for me, with my birthday, mine and Yuuki’s anniversary, Nanowrimo, etc. But it was also made worse by my computer breaking down, a cold we’re still suffering from, the post office hating me, and various other … Continue reading
I haven’t updated in awhile as Nanowrimo* is here and draining my writing time. But since I gained two new followers and for some reason quite a few views since I last logged in, I figured I should probably post something. Since I moved to PA, I hadn’t been doing a lot of the good … Continue reading
I have only been working with refugees for a few weeks now, but I have seen and heard so much that I really feel the need to share. In the little time I’ve spent at my new job, I have heard so many terrible stories. I haven’t gotten to know any refugees really well yet, … Continue reading
Every now and then there’s an incident with a customer or coworker that unexpectedly affects me, whether in a negative way or a positive way. Tonight, it was in a melancholy way. In the department where I work, we have a gate, separate from the main entrances, that’s kept open until 7 p.m. When it … Continue reading
I recently found an old external hard drive of mine (or rather, my sister did). There are a lot of random stories, or at least parts of stories, and a plethora of essays I wrote throughout my college career. Since I don’t have as much time or concentration power between my new job and interviews, … Continue reading
