Did you take advantage of XBox’s winter sale on games? I did! My gaming style is… well, kinda like the rest of my style: eclectic, leaning toward the dark, and easily distracted. Glitter goth granny-core at its best! So, you can probably already guess that I downloaded several games to try and that I’ll take […]

NOW That’s What I Call A Year!
2025 was a heavy year in a lot of ways – and amazing in a lot of others. It’s hard to talk about last year without mentioning our queen, Blodwyn, who we lost on January 2nd, 2025. She fought hard that last year, bless her heart. It was obvious that things were going downhill for […]

Fanfiction: Fall Away
He’d been watching the boy struggle for weeks, unable to do anything to help. Watching the dark-haired boy pace back and forth across the building’s roof. Watching the boy shake his head as he muttered angrily to himself, occasionally tugging at his short locks Watching… Watching… Watching… and… waiting, a million questions perched on the […]

Fanfiction: Implicit Demand For Proof
Debby was talking but Josh wasn’t paying attention. His entire focus was on the lanky boy in a baggy hoodie at the table across the room, scribbling in a notebook while his friends laughed and joked around him. Tyler Joseph, tortured poet hidden in a jock’s body – and the absolute center of Josh’s world. […]

Game Review: Home Sweet Home (2017)
I couldn’t let October pass without trying out at least one horror game and, since I’d picked up Home Sweet Home on sale earlier in the year, it was the obvious choice. How was it? Well, I don’t wanna go all middle school report card or anything, but Home Sweet Home did NOT live up […]

Witchy Reads: Weed Witch by Sophie Saint Thomas
After over thirty years of practice, it’s rare to find a book on witchcraft that has anything new to offer. I was excited to come across a copy of Weed Witch by Sophie Saint Thomas because, with so much changing legally and culturally around the use of marijuana, I thought it would offer exactly that: […]

Movie Review: Heart Eyes (2025)
Heart Eyes (2025) is the cheesy romance/gory slasher mashup you didn’t know you needed. Equal parts shocking splatter and warm fuzzies (with a dash of knee-jerk humor thrown in for good measure,) it’s a wild ride and just plain fun. The movie starts with an Insta-worthy staged proposal that makes you kinda glad all parties […]

Movie Review: The Ladykillers (1955)
We were looking for something to watch last night so I asked Jay to pick a movie off my list. He suggested The Ladykillers (1955) adding, “The last time I saw this movie, you weren’t even born yet” – a brutal reminder that there are thirteen years between us. Jay continued by saying that he […]

The Hatch, Waunfawr Park
Recently, the decision was made to turn the public restrooms at Waunfawr Park in Risca into a “takeaway café.” I don’t know who’s in charge of these things but seems to me like taking the only public toilets out of a sprawling park where sporting events are often held and elderly people spend their days […]

Code Orange!
We’d heard rumours about odd Halloween items on sale at TKMaxx, so we wandered out to our nearest one and… yup! There’s not a lot yet and it’s obviously leftovers from last year, but it’s started. In… May? That’s a bit early – even for me! 😲
