  • Monday Morning Reset (on a Tuesday) [07/25].

    Man, it’s been an interesting week, if you couldn’t tell by the fact that my usual Monday Morning Reset post didn’t actually go up yesterday. I had actually forgotten that it was Monday, while actively knowing perfectly well it was Monday. It was weird, but, in my defense, last week was definitely a little more…

  • 30+ and Counting!

    This week has been a good week. Not a great week, although some great things have happened. And I’ve got a pretty good feeling that this coming week is going to be pretty great, too. It’s been a little off, due to a variety of things, none of them big things, but still steady. And…

  • Ketchup. [A RoW80 Post].

    And so the ugly side of shift work finally rears its ugly head. A few openings thrown into the mix will throw the whole thing off, and I missed my first RoW80 check-in post. Dun-dun-DUUUUN! Yeah, the whole point of RoW80 is that it’s okay if life sweeps you up for a bit, but it’s…

  • Crossroads [A RoW80 Post].

    I absolutely adore my new apartment; it’s charming as hell, cozy as fuck, and I’m constantly surrounded by books. It’s on the corner of a nice street in a great neighborhood, and I can’t wait for the rows of trees out there to start budding to make the view even better. This last benefit, however,…

  • Of Walks and Words and Worries. [A RoW80 Post]

    Spring has finally decided to stick around Chicagoland lately, which means that I’ve been able to get out and start walking again. Last year, when I started my journey for a healthier me, watching my diet and all this walking helped me lose about thirty pounds. I gained a little bit over the winter, what…

  • Wanna Play a Game?

    I hadn’t done this intentionally, but I realized that I’m reading two very different books about essentially the same thing: people pretty much forced to participate in deadly games for potential monetary gain and the viewing pleasure of a jaded and disenchanted audience. I started reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Running…

  • Everything You Thought Was True is Wrong.

    I was all geared up to do a little October music post today, but either WordPress or YouTube or some combination of the two is being very touchy right now, so I guess I won’t be going that direction after all. So I thought, what about that moment that I’m sure everyone has, when they…

  • Do You Like Scary Movies?

    I know I do. October and the colder, stormier weather always puts me in a fright fest sort of mood, which makes it great that American Horror Story and The Walking Dead are about to return to television. Last night, I had the apartment mostly to myself and decided to do a small marathon with…

  • Review: Carrie.

    ” ‘No. It’s not very important. High school isn’t a very important place.’ “ “Carrie” by Stephen King. Continuing my trend of finally getting around to reading some of those iconic books that should be in my repertoire, (and just in time for a remake of the classic movie I already know and love, no…

  • Writer Quotes: King.

    “‘If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.” -Stephen King In lieu of…
