    TV & Film The Last Jedi Discussion [Spoilers]

    I kind of liked it. I'm in agreement about the humor. So much of it was forced. No pun. To all of those complaining about a non-Luke Luke. Uh, how long has it been since Luke was part of the storyline? He's aged. He's experienced things. If any of us doesn't change after what, forty years...

    Music Do you listen to a playlist when you RP?

    I make playlists for my characters. Pretty much all of them I'm in love with, in fact. I can tell if I'm going to stick with a character by my interest in making a playlist for them. Yep. My Will and Penny are a bit of Flogging Molly and The Hidden Highways and Chris Isaak and the Wailin'...

    Literature NaNoWriMo 2017!

    Argh. I wish there were a version of Nano that was more along the lines of: Write your book in six months. Then, I'd probably get this done. As it is, I love the agonizing over the proper word process, making things pretty-- editing as I go before the real edits start. But, glory to all the...

    Literature Let's See Them Books

    Eh, I've written one. And I've gotten published for short stories/poems. It's been a while, but there you are. I need to get back to editing my novel, however... but I'm stuck happily writing time travel trash I'll never let anyone else see because IT'S HAPPY TRASH.

    TV & Film Most recent movie you've seen?

    Split. Fairly good, very well-acted by James McAvoy, and it managed to keep the abduction theme from getting too overly sexualized. Cool concept movie. Maybe a seven out of ten for me.
