Crown no worky. Tooth getting pulled. Sad face. Numb sad face.
Review – Chain Mail Bikini
Chainmail Bikini: The Anthology of Women Gamers by Hazel Newlevant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This graphic novel is exactly what it says on the tin.
Enlightening, eye-opening, and privilege-checking. My local library stocks this, and if you’re into comics and gaming, your brainmeats deserve this. Might even need it.
Review – Mists of Avalon
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a big read. The story of the time of King Arthur, as told from the point of view of the women of the time. It’s a familiar tale, but told with more depth and dimension than I’d experienced in any earlier telling.
There are cycles in the book in which I want to strangle pretty much every single character, but they are far and few between. If you’re interested in Arthurian legends, druids, pagans, post-Roman Christianity, and/or long form fiction, I recommend this book.
Domestic Tetris
TFW you get a new piece of furniture, and you want to rearrange the entire room because it’s so awesome.
Breathe it in
TFW you walk outside in the morning and smell roasting coffee from across town at Paramount.
Yeeesh.
As a writer, I understand that it’s in my best interest to cultivate my social media presence.
As an operations and platform engineer that pays attention to the behavior of social network companies, I sometimes want to throw my hands up in the air and become a digital hermit.
*yawn*
The jet lag is really getting to me this time around. Second day back, and I’m still having problems. C’mon, body, it’s only a three hour difference!
