Okay, okay, I know I made a whole big deal a while back about only posting once a month because I'm a lightweight who can't take a little stress now and then. That's still true, don't worry. But I had to make an exception for February and post a second time, because earlier this month … Continue reading Begin Descent: an Iron Lung Review
Yay or Nay Book Tag
Okay, sit down a minute and look me in the eye. This trend is a bona fide original from Becky's Book Blog, where the name of it is "Bookish Smash or Pass". However, Brooke over at Low Expectations called it the "Yay or Nay" tag, which I thought was adorable and promptly stole. She also … Continue reading Yay or Nay Book Tag
A Year in Review, 2025 Edition
Well, it's that time of year again. I don't know about y'all, but I survived 2025 by the skin of my eyeballs. Since I'm such a massive optimist, though, I see all the various suckage I endured as a rich mine of material to pad this blog post with. The glass is either half-full or … Continue reading A Year in Review, 2025 Edition
The Natalie Aesthetic
Good golly, is it December already? It was June last week, I swear. This year has been busy, lemme tell you, but we'll worry about a rundown of that in next month's Year in Review post. For today's offering I have something so inane you're going to want your money back when you haven't even … Continue reading The Natalie Aesthetic
There Was an Attempt to Appreciate the Little Things
It's fall around the old homestead. I have proof. Consider: It's been consistently in the 70s instead of feeling like the surface of the sun, and it rained for more than five minutes in the past three weeks. The crows are out in the driveway, busily trying to open a miniature pumpkin while I busily … Continue reading There Was an Attempt to Appreciate the Little Things
I Consider This An Exciting Announcement
Well, September sure sucked. That is not the exciting announcement. That's just kind of an objective fact we're all sitting around staring at. But hidden amongst all the suckage of September, one marginally good thing reared its not-so-ugly head: I opened a Fourthwall shop. If you don't have the slightest clue what a Fourthwall shop … Continue reading I Consider This An Exciting Announcement
Updates: Blog, TBR, That Ugly WIP Stink-Eyeing Me from the Corner
Hello, and happy September. You might think that I skipped my second blog post of the month back in August, and you'd be right, but we're gonna address that in a minute. But first, allow me to take you by the hand and lead you---gently---back to July 15th, where I made a post about all … Continue reading Updates: Blog, TBR, That Ugly WIP Stink-Eyeing Me from the Corner
Author Finds Old Story on Computer. What Happens Next Will Shock You.
Happy August. It's freaking hot and our neighbor's guineas moved into our yard for some reason. That's not important right now, here's the actual post. Once upon a time, I was fourteen. When I was fourteen, I suffered from a rather pitiable, chronic condition that has refused to lessen throughout the years. In fact, it's … Continue reading Author Finds Old Story on Computer. What Happens Next Will Shock You.
A Mere Sliver of My Current TBR
You know how it is as a bibliophile with no self-control. Your bedroom and your bookshelves are eternally, inexorably filling up with books you want to read but don't have the time to. Such is the situation I find myself in. And I decided that, once FicFrenzy is over, I'll at least try to crack … Continue reading A Mere Sliver of My Current TBR
Movies from My Childhood
You know what I could have been doing when I was a kid? I don't know, studying the art of war and bettering myself for the future, probably. You know what I did instead? I watched movies. I feel as if we've already established this fact at least thirteen times on this blog, but fourteenth … Continue reading Movies from My Childhood
