So, I Changed My Pen Name

I can explain — I made mistakes in the beginning. I thought if I told family and friends from Day 1 about my writing, they’d be all for it. I thought I’d be writing forever and not need to worry about looking for a job because I’d get successful quickly. …

The Best Books I Read In August

Including text books until I’m done with Grad School — A new school year is here at last! It’s my first one as a teacher in the West, and I’m pumped! In between planning and studying, I’m still looking for time to read. This past month, I saved $27 from using my local library. I read four books, but that’s…

The Barbie Movie Gave Me A New Appreciation For The Doll

She’s more of an icon than I realized — I’ll admit; I didn’t like Barbie when I was younger. Sure, I played with her when I was around other girls, but I ripped off their heads and buried them when I was alone. (What? I discovered death at an early age. Weirdly enough, decapitations freak me out now.) As…

The Best Books I Read In July 2023

Textbooks included — Grad school is turning out like I expected it would. I’m busy all the time but somehow finding time to read. I’m not in the library as much anymore. But you know what? I’m still finding wonderful books to read. You wouldn’t think it, but the textbooks I’ve had to…

Is The Story Of Arthur Truluv By Elizabeth Berg A Frederick Backman Copycat?

We’re talking about the book club pick for June — For wanting to make a series about the books my library picks for Book Club, I’m doing a shit job going to Book Club. You guessed it, I didn’t go again. I’m in a musical this summer, and Thursday nights are rehearsal nights. …

The Northeast Better Take Out Their Masks Again

Take it from someone who used to live in Beijing — This week is giving me some Beijing flashbacks! I’m checking the weather for an AQI reading, I’m looking through my mask supply to see if I need more, and I’m starting to wonder if I need an air purifier at the house. So far, the AQI hasn’t been bad enough…

I’ll Never Volunteer My Seat Again

Thanks for the weekend from hell, Spirit Airlines — As the title points out, Spirit Airlines sucks. The company almost ruined my California trip, and they got away with lying to the Better Business Bureau. Before I begin I’ll warn you. This story might have some parts in it that are difficult to read for non-solo travelers. Don’t worry…
