Picoreview: Freelance

January 12, 2024

Picoreview: Freelance: surprisingly cute! This is a John Cena vehicle on Amazon, probably an Amazon original, about a Large American Military Dude who finds himself protecting a dictator he very much does not want to protect, and it’s much more fun than it has any right to be. Like, there’s plenty of dumb, but overall it’s quite charming and has several laugh-out-loud moments. There was a bit where I said “That looks like X will happen pretty soon,” and almost as soon as I finished speaking, X happened, which was…

one two three FOOOOOUR earrings in my left ear

mild complaints about the state of my ear

January 10, 2024

Mild ear-piercing-related healing grossness in this post, if you’re sensitive to that sort of thing. ♥ I got my stupid slow-to-heal helix (ear cartilage) piercing looked at today, 15 months after I got it pierced. At about the 11 month mark when it not only still hadn’t healed but was still/again actively gooey, I gave up on the “just clean it with saline 2x a day” advice and swabbed it with hydrogen peroxide a few times like we did with piercings when I was a kid. It fuzzed up in…

The Blog and the Future

January 9, 2024

Right, so, I’m trying to reduce my dependency on billionaire-owned social media, which mean I’m trying to increase my blog footprint again. I used to be good at blogging, but somewhere along the way, with all the short-post social media (and its instantaneous feedback, let’s be real, that’s super nice), I got well out of the habit of blogging and also, more relevantly, got to where I started feeling like multiple blog posts in a day (which I used to do all the time!) were…obnoxious. Bothersome. Too Much for readers.…

CITY OF HEROES is back!!!!!!!!!

January 9, 2024

GUYS! GUYS!!!!! The ONLY MMORPG I have EVER HAD ANY INTEREST IN IS BACK!!!! My BELOVED superhero game, City of Heroes, has been resurrected as City of Heroes: Homecoming after TWELVE YEARS! Officially licensed from the original creators, NCSoft, with five servers up and running! I AM SO EXCITED I ACTUALLY KEEP TEARING UP, GUYS, I AM SO HAPPY!!! I loved this game! For those of you who don’t know, it’s an original-world superhero game that launched in (apparently) 2004, and was hugely popular, but eventually shut down in large…

Recent Reads: The Dark is Rising

January 8, 2024

I have read THE DARK IS RISING many, many times in my life, far more than I can count (I mean, it’s probably a countable number, but it’s not like I have been counting!). It is, perhaps, not quite my favorite of the sequence (I have a soft spot for GREENWITCH, which was the first of them I read, and which features Jane quite heavily, which, I mean, like, y’know, female protagonist, so…), but I’m fairly willing to concede it’s the best of the series, arguably by a long shot.…
