Maybe it’s just because I have an unprecedented two days in a row off (yesterday and the glorious stretch of freedom that lies ahead of me today). Maybe it’s the fact that it’s been bright and sunny but a still a little too cold to do much outside. Maybe it’s that I’ve started a small…

Being officially in May, both the weather and minds turn toward distinctively spring-like inclinations. Sunny skies, blooming tulips in a bright array of colours, birds chirping in the budding trees, and windows wide open to welcome in their song. As I sit in my living room, this is very much the scene, with a slight…

Well, it’s Sunday, and I usually don’t post on Sunday, but I figured since I missed Friday, I would make up for it by posting today. Besides, it’s the start of a new month, which means a new novel, so I get to finally talk about that! The first day of a new month gets…

Last night’s dream was an interesting one, in that I’ve either had a very, very similar dream before, a long time ago, or I’ve read this book and/or seen this movie a long time ago, have completely forgotten the title of either, and have just modified it to my own tastes. So if this strikes…
