Games I’m Playing: Stardew Valley
Recently I got into Stardew Valley. If you don’t know what it is, it’s like Harvest Moon upgraded and better. If you don’t know what Harvest Moon is, it’s basically a farming/rural life RPG. It started at the beginning of July when I decided to give it a whirl via Steam Family Sharing; my…

Thoughts on the Robocop Remake
I’d call it disappointing if I’d had any hopes for it in the first place.

The Finished Scarf!
It looks amazing, and I will likely do this pattern again.

30 in 30: Day 13 (in which I talk about ducks and how Chris Weitz is a complete fucking ass and should suffer for destroying The Golden Compass)
Favorite childhood book OR current favorite YA book (or both!) My favorite book as a child was Drakestail, which is an old French folk tale.

30 in 30: Day 05 (in which I rag upon Eragon so hard I make him bleed from inappropriate places)
A book or series you hate Oh man. This one is almost too easy. (I say ‘almost’ because there is a book/series that I actually hate more than the one I’m writing about now…but as I haven’t actually been able to bring myself to read the whole thing, and as there’s a lot of virulent…
