(Spoiler free! I'm only mentioning things from the blurb.) I have been waiting for this book my entire life. At least, that's what it feels like. I followed Briana Morgan on Twitter in 2018 because she tweeted about this project, and I have been anxiously awaiting this day ever since. Livingston Girls is a fast-paced,Continue reading "Book Review: LIVINGSTON GIRLS by Briana Morgan"
Anxiety Is So Dumb
I was going to title this "Anxiety is a bitch," but it's not even interesting enough for that. It's just so inconvenient and obnoxious. ... All this to say that I miss blogging so I am going to try to write more and not just podcast all the time.
Memory Lane
At work, my team has monthly writing prompts. One of the prompts for November: What does Memory Lane look like? How do you get there? I think a better question for me would be What isn't Memory Lane? Memory lane is in my family's house, where we moved in 2002 and my best friend lived in theContinue reading "Memory Lane"
Never Forget(TM)
Today is difficult for me for many reasons. I don't want to wallow in grief or glorify tragedy, and yet I feel obligated to expose myself to the horrors of 9/11 so I don't forget that it was real. I don't know anybody who was hurt or killed that day and I live on theContinue reading "Never Forget(TM)"
Cover reveal: LIVINGSTON GIRLS by Briana Morgan
I am so stoked to be able to be part of the reveal for the cover of Livingston Girls by Briana Morgan. I connected with Briana Morgan on Twitter because of this novel. About a year ago, one random Tweet of hers happened to cross my timeline. In it, she mentioned that she was workingContinue reading "Cover reveal: LIVINGSTON GIRLS by Briana Morgan"
“I Think I Feel a Change in the Wind,” Says I
(Title is a quote from Pirates of the Caribbean) Last week, I met with my former podcast co-host Lindsey to discuss plans for an X-Files rewatch podcast. And then we discovered something: X-Files has over 200 episodes and 2 feature films. Even if we were to discuss two or three episodes per podcast, it wouldContinue reading "“I Think I Feel a Change in the Wind,” Says I"
I Miss Academic-Level Analysis
It's been seven years since I graduated with my degree in English, and I really miss digging into a story and picking it apart to see what makes it tick. I finally picked up NBC's Hannibal again, and the more I watch this show, the more amazing and layered it is. I'd like to doContinue reading "I Miss Academic-Level Analysis"
Some Thoughts About Time Management Vs. Productivity
A few Saturdays ago, I spent the morning hanging out upstairs with the family. Then, I went to visit Papa Sorensen and play him a few songs I've been learning on the guitar. After that, I went to a surprise birthday party for one of my childhood best friends. Later, I took my brother JoeyContinue reading "Some Thoughts About Time Management Vs. Productivity"
The Motivational Power of Being Salty A.F.
Let me preface this post by saying: If you're one of the coworkers I reference in this post, please know that I am in no way resentful! I am honestly grateful for the kick in the ass/nudge out the door/reminder that hobbies exist. At work, we've been doing mini presentations where everyone introduces themselves. AContinue reading "The Motivational Power of Being Salty A.F."
Pandora’s Done It Again!
I was in the middle of writing another post about getting back into my hobbies and passions and such, and Pandora decided to hit me with "Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root, which it had previously done as I walked back to my off-campus apartment following my last-ever class at Southern Utah University.Continue reading "Pandora’s Done It Again!"
