Fun

  • Lately, I have become One of THOSE people. One of which people, you may ask? One of THOSE, the type of people who post pictures of their culinary adventures online. So far, most people don’t seem to mind and I’ve been given accolades by my coworkers for my fine cooking finesse. One of my friends…

  • I have been sitting on this idea for a while now, since the beginning of the year, and, as we head into June, the middle of the year, I realized that I’d better get my butt moving on it if I wanted to accomplish this idea before 2013’s eventual conclusion (which is likely to happen…

  • The Foodie Vegan.

    Before I really decided to embark on a vegan diet, a few months back when I had first met my boyfriend, I remember going out to dinner with my roommate, enjoying some delicious feta-smothered dish at Talley’s, and sighing to her something along the lines of, “I’m way too much of a foodie to be…

  • Dreams of C2E2.

    This last weekend marked one of my favorite weekends of the entire year: the weekend that the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (commonly referred to as C2E2) rolls into town!

  • 10 Characters Meme.

    I was trying to think of something a little light, a little fun, to do on the blog today since I’m definitely out of practice with regular posting and thinking of things to write. With the reclamation of the previously missing draft of Serpent in a Cage, the book has been pretty strong on my…

  • ART!

    Yesterday, I gifted myself with a membership to the Art Institute of Chicago, one of my most favorite places in the world. It was surprisingly affordable, and I intend to take advantage of the membership on most of my days off from work. Like today. Shortly, I’ll be bundling up against the cold and making…

  • Oh, Here It Goes Again.

    So, I’ve taken a little bit of a break from writing and from the blog to have some well-spent time with a friend, which I have a feeling I’ll be doing a lot of on the weekends if this new schedule that gives me Sundays off stays consistent. From what I hear, this is typical…

  • Question Time!

    So, I’ve seen this on a few blogs. No one tagged me for this, but I wanted to do it anyway. So there. It’s a collection of questions about you as a writer and your latest work in progress, so I thought I’d spend a little idle time and answer there, whether anyone’s interested or…

  • “Better dead than undead.” “Alice in Deadland” by Mainak Dhar Anyone who knows me well will know that, among my extensive list of Loves, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and zombies are pretty high on the list. I’m sure this is true for a pretty healthy amount of people, too, so I’m sure they’d be just…

  • The “Look” Challenge.

    Over at Frame Tale, Kate did a challenge post that she had come across that I just had to give a stab at myself. I love these little games, where you get the chance to showcase a little bit of your work. It’s also pretty useful for those days when you don’t have much else…
