Bookish Reviewish~ In Which We Shall Encounter Vampires, Anarchists, Kidnapping, Wellington, And Bread…Among Other Things

Greetings, my dear bloggerly companions!

Well, here I am. I have returned. The show was amazing (truly it was), but I’m glad it’s over because I did want my life back at some point.

Now I have to remember what blogging is.

One Quirk Later #16~ In Which I Ignore The Fact That I’m Taking A Break…Because I Can’t Just Skip A Quirk, Guys

Um…hello.

I’m not here. I’m definitely not here. I’m in 18th century Paris. But I’m just popping by for a moment because I just can’t skip a Quirk. I tried. I promise. But I couldn’t do it.

The “I Should Have Read That Book” Tag~ In Which We Examine The Good Ol’ TBR And I Announce My Intentions To Vanish For The Time Being

Happy first day of Autumn, folks!!

Is this going to be an Autumn related blog post? No. No it is not. (I don’t plan like that, as it turns out. I’m just excited that it’s Autumn now. So. Yes. That’s all I have to say about that.)

Musicals Based On Gothic Literature, Part II~ In Which People Being Murdery And Abusive Might Be Considered Romantic…?

G’day, mates!

Today I bring forth Part II of me-sharing-my-random-opinions-concerning-random-gothic-musicals. We’ll be discussing a couple of Phantoms and a couple of Brontës this time around.

(If you want to read Part I, in which I discuss vampires and unstable men of science, it is available for your perusal here.)

Musicals Based On Gothic Literature, Part I~ In Which There Are Too Many Love-Triangles For My Liking, Good Grief

Salutations, my friends!

Gothic literature is pretty wild. So is musical theatre. Over the years, people have attempted to mix the two—with varying levels of success.

Charismatic Disaster Children~ In Which We Encounter Quite A Lot Of Brilliant Idiots

Greetings, bloggerly chums!

So, sometimes success is bad for you. Sometimes it’s a straight-up detriment to your health. If you don’t believe me, just keep reading and I’ll explain.

One Quirk Later #15~ In Which Diana Decides To Keep A Diary And I Conveniently Blame All Awkward Prose On Her

Hullo, friends!

I have not the intro powers today. Just know that it is Quirk time, and you should all go to Jem’s lovely blog and join in because it’s great fun (even though more often than not the Quirks themselves end up a tad on the depressing side with much angst and possibly murder?? Eh, well).

Bookish Reviewish~ In Which Things Could Get Pretty Graphic (In A Manner Of Speaking) And We Will Encounter Brilliant Idiots

Good morrow, my goodly folk!

I hope you are all doing well- physically, emotionally and spiritually. Whether or not you are, though, I hope you have a good stack of books to make your life at least somewhat better.

Maybe I’m A Little Bit Obsessed With Backstory~ In Which I Pine After Non-Existent Prequels

Greetings, bloggerly chums!

I love the idea of prequels. Prequels can enhance the experience of the original story by expounding on the world and by deepening my understanding of the characters. Also backstory is generally angsty, so. I am kind of obsessed with backstories as a species.

Reflections On Having Emotions (Or Something)~ In Which I Draw A Rather Unflattering Parallel

Hi, guys.

So, once upon a time I decided that crying is essentially the emotional equivalent to throwing up.

And I thought, huh, that’s kind of weird, I probably won’t write a blog post about that one…

But I’m so emotionally and physically exhausted at this point in time (having just participated in my baby sister’s wedding, you know) that such a thing just seems appropriate.
