A few weeks ago I started watching Insatiable with much trepidation after a friend’s recommendation. After all, I’d heard about the criticisms, how it was offensive to “fat”, LGTBQ*, skinny, and just people as a whole. I hadn’t watched it yet, but because of the huge negative backlash online I didn’t even think about watching it until …
So a few weeks ago I made a promise. You probably remember my blog post about my sister getting sick, my fear, and rushing to the ER to be with her. The day after that blog post was published; I had to leave work early with her to go to the ER again because a …
I’m tired, which isn’t interesting, but it’s the truth. The past week has been crazy, most stores have their most hellish week (or month) in December for Christmas, but the farm I work on has Thanksgiving. And it makes sense, it’s an apple for so obviously everyone wants apples and pies and all other bakery …
If you’ve been following my book blog or bookstagram, then you’ll know I’ve been pretty excited for the release of V.E. Schwab’s newest novel Vengeful. It’s a sequel to her novel Vicious which was published five years ago, though I only read it this year. I really haven’t read Schwab for long, only since last year when I …
I’ve been feeling kind of stuck lately. It has to do with my writing, obviously, because a lot of what I write on here is about that. Because until the last week of August I was off for four months, and obviously I wrote a lot because I finally had a lot of time to …
This is important. My sister texts me this while I’m at work but it takes me ten minutes to see it. When I check I notice that she’s said the same thing in a Facebook message with no more clarification.
I had made plans with one of my friends on Wednesday to have a day at the Ex. It had been a long time since I’d been there and since we’d hung out in general so it seemed like a great place to do both. So we each took the train, her from Etobicoke and …
I just finished binge watching Jane the Virgin on Netflix, a show which I’ve quickly become obsessed with, and with so many cliff-hangers I need to physically force myself to stop watching it. But as I was finishing the fourth season, I found myself reluctant to finish it. I wasn’t trying to bide my time for the …
After a six hour drive, I’ve made it back home from my vacation. And it would be easy to write a blog post about my vacation, what I did everyday, who I saw, but it just doesn’t seem right, not when where I’m visiting has become so familiar to me.
Well I’m not sure what to write today; because this is a post from the PAST (spooky music plays). I made a queue the day before I left for holidays on my book blog and on this blog with blog posts to keep it active. Last week’s blog post was easy enough to write, I’d …
