I can’t believe it is 2023 and even more than that it is June 2023 and the year is halfway over. A lot of things have changed so I started this blog and left it. Not that any of you need to concern yourselves with all that. I think I’m going to start this new chapter of the blog with a simple what I’m reading, watching, playing and making. Then we’ll branch off from there.

I’m Reading…

Ancient Rockets: Treasures and Train Wrecks of the Silent Screen by Kage Baker, Edited by Kathleen Bartholomew

This is a collection of reviews of silent movies written by the late Kage Baker and edited by her sister. These are delightful and candid. The good and the bad are given equal amounts of attention. Problematic issues aren’t overlooked and the way Kage writes makes me want to boot up the movies to watch. Each review is short and concise, but has a sense of humor. This is a great book for people who love old movies.

I’m watching….

Scooby-Doo

A while ago I found this blog post Scooby Doo Official Chronological Viewing Order. Needless to say, my interest was immediately piqued and I’ve been slowly working my way through it. It is remarkably fun, anxiety free way to spend my very very limited down time and while it isn’t the most exciting or popular thing. It is my thing.

I’m Playing

This one is a bit harder. Most recently I’ve been playing Have a Nice Death by Magic Design Studios. This is a fun roguelike, platformer where death has hired some lackeys and built a corporation. Everything starts going wrong and Death has to leave the CEO office to fix it. It’s a lot of fun. I’m not very good so the runs are short, but I still adore it. This might become one of my favorites.

I’m Making

Pac-Man

I saw these kits on Instagram and I was influenced. I’ve tried crocheting before and have never succeeded, but I’m really liking these kits. Which is good because I bought the PacMan bundle and a couple other kits…*cough*

ANYWAYS, I’m also cross stitching a raven ornament which I will share another time. Mostly because it is sitting on my desk at work.

I’m in a really weird place in my life, but I’m hoping I can keep this up and I hope you all will join me for the ride.
