Has anyone else read the "Rich Asians" series, of which Crazy Rich Asians is the first book?

It has been a very, VERY long time since I've read general literature. I'm a die-hard genre reader, but for the last 4 years, all of my reading power has been keeping up with the news.

Between our 4-year national horror show, terrible endings to series I ( Read more... )

So, I had a bit of a meltdown today. It's hard enough for me to manifest Christmas spirit in a normal year, and it's not any easier in this insanely stupid year, either. I was starting to organize my cards for writing and then I was torpedoed, and I spun into a serious case of the Why Do Anythings.

Christmas is not my favourite time of the year for ( Read more... )

Got up, got out, walked. Huzzah!

Had our friends zoom tonight. We all pretty much had the same Thanksgiving - at home with no one else, simple meals, talked to family.

I've sat here staring at the screen for a half-hour and nothing that's run through my head is worth writing down. I was worried about this when I started BloMo. It's hard to feel ( Read more... )

I intend to update this post throughout the day with random thoughts. We'll see if intention becomes reality.

First, a life funny. I have officially eclipsed all people who have stood there asking where their glasses are while said glasses were perched on their heads.

Yesterday, I was ducking about, looking all around and under the bed, ( Read more... )

Part of why I keep watching Hallmark movies is that they're shot in Vancouver, which means I get to see a lot of actors I've enjoyed over the years in other productions from networks that shoot shows there. I'm thinking of X-Files and everything that was on the old WB, UPN, and current CW shows.

Right now, I'm watching Marc Blucas from Buffy and a ( Read more... )

Man, I missed posting yesterday, but I'm liking this feeling of not sweating it, which I gave myself permission to do when I decided to BloMo. My internal promise was that as long as I got back on the wagon, I wouldn't feel bad.

In the bad habit of merely diary-ing, it was the last day of earning this week, but it was a typical last day before a ( Read more... )

If I'm being honest, yesterday was too long a day, so I slept in and poked about the house today. I mean to write a post on what I've been reading, which is its own miracle, and I had other ideas that haven't come back to me yet. It would help if I started before 11:45, too. ~_^

Not a horrible day. The SO got enough school work done to play a Pokemon event with me without stressing. The fact that he spent the last two hours of the event in the car with a work emergency over the speaker phone, though, sucked because that was my time, too. But still, we were not in the house all day. So an unhorrible day.

It seemed like this week lasted 5 years and it's not even the holiday weekend. A lot of stuff happened, nothing earth-shattering, but I'm wiped.

Amber Ruffin might just be my favourite person on any media platform right now.

She has incredible energy. It just pours out of her and goes straight through the screen. And I always, always laugh - even when the topic is painful.
