Hello again, dear friends. I leave the UK tomorrow. Wow. I can’t believe it’s tomorrow. I left on a Wednesday last year, too. Since my last post? I moved out of London. I turned in my dissertation on libraries and Tumblr. I’ve stayed in Edinburgh with my wonderful friend Steph for the month. And now […]
Hello, friends! I promise that I haven’t abandoned you or the blog. Things were super crazy the last two weeks, while I packed up my flat and moved out of London and up to Edinburgh. In addition to still working on my dissertation (which is due so soon, ahhh!). It’ll probably be slow (or no) […]
One week ago today was the last of 5 very long (and wonderful) days at the 72nd World Science Fiction Convention, aka Worldcon, aka Loncon3. It was unbelievably cool, and I have far too much to say, so I’ll probably be writing multiple posts about it (and/or thoughts that it inspired). Pretty awesome logo, right? […]
Hello! So many things to talk about, as it has been a very busy week and then some. Soon, a post about Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Edinburgh Book Festival, which I arrived back from on Wednesday. Later, posts about LonCon3! Five full days of World Science Fiction Convention awesomeness. But first, what I did the […]
Cuddle Cthulhu and I haven’t done a ton of exploring because of dissertation work and applying for jobs and other various busy things. But next time I go exploring for book benches I will definitely bring him with me. In the meantime, have a recipe I made. Sage-Apple Carrot Noodles Hold on to your hats. […]
Relaxation…by doing things! That’s how you do it, right? (Related: This comic ) So, here’s a look at how I spend my down time: I make chainmail. It gives me something to do with my hands, a way to practice patience, and tangible (colorful!) results at the end of a project. Plus, sometimes I do […]
Hello again, friends! Sorry that I’ve been absent for a while. It’s been an odd few weeks. But I did a super fun thing last weekend – I crewed for the London Film and Comic Con! So let’s start off by explaining that “super fun” for me includes being insanely busy, dealing with hundreds of […]
I told my mom I needed to write a blog post and didn’t know what to write about. She said, “Llamas!” Thanks, Mom. Today’s post brought to you by this off-topic little guy: This is not, in fact, a post about llamas. All I know about llamas is that they’re fluffy, they spit, and they […]
So I thought I’d take a leaf out of Kyle’s book and try my hand at reviewing a story (his blog is chock full of various spoilery things – ranging from Game of Thrones to Spiderman to Doctor Who – but if you like story critiques, you should probably check it out). I saw Maleficent […]
Cuddle Cthulhu Invades London 
Tech Utopia, Tech Determinism
So, I’m going to do my best to pick out the pieces of this that I most want to comment on, but I do recommend actually reading it all the way through for all the information and the general flavor of it. So here’s the link, and whichever you choose, let’s carry on. This is […]
