State of the Blog Address

Quite a few peeps have reached out to me after this blog went silent (y’all need to find some hobbies), and so at the insistence of you poor misguided fools, I shall attempt to keep blogging. [just kidding, you know I love you guys]

Not really much has happened. Ditched the boyfriend, but managed to make him believe it was his idea because I really didn’t want to hurt him, as he had low self esteem to begin with.

A few good things have happened recently, the first being finally able to listen to Tool on Spotify.

Tool also released a new album after a 13 year hiatus, knocking Taylor Swift off the #1 spot on the music charts, which was wildly entertaining simply for the shock and confusion amongst her fans. It’s about time great music made it onto the charts again.

Niecey-G, the youngest of all the nieces and nephew, STARTED FECKING HIGH SCHOOL last week. Like wat. I was changing her diapers a year ago, I swear. Big Sis#2 is not taking it very well, as Niecey-G was her only baby and she has reached the age where she would much rather hang out with her friends than with her mother.***

Niecey-G had some issues with nasty girls in her friend group towards the end of the last school year, so I have been teaching her the ways of Ultimate Assholery. She has so far perfected Resting Murder Face, and the uncomfortably-long-condescending-non-blinking-glare. I’m also giving her a crash course in behavioural psychology to both read people’s minds based on little behaviours, and use that knowledge to control them.

Much more important stuff than the rubbish they teach you in school. The education system in this country is a joke. I am living proof of this.

In other news.......

despite generally being the throwaway child and most likely candidate for Dad's Least Favourite Child, I have been catapulted to the position of The #1 Favourite. All because I discovered that NBC has an app that lets me watch all the Premier League games LIVE.

I used to obsessively follow English football, until like ...2010? when our cable package ditched the foreign sports channel unless we paid for like 8 channels no one would watch. So no more football. 

But now Dad--who tried relentlessly to get both brothers into soccer--has someone to watch footie with every weekend. Someone who supports the same team he does.


That's it for now, I think. The Christmas decor will not be coming down, as by the time I actually make an autumnal banner, it will probably be Easter 2020. If any of you actually read this, let me know how you're doing.

*Big Sis#2 has finally had to shell out $100+ she doesn’t have to buy Niecey-G a graphing calculator that will never see daylight once Niecey-G is done with high school.

***YOU GUUUYUYYYYUS Neicey-G IS OUT ON HER FIRST DATE WITH A JUNIOR I REALLY F**KING CAN'T RIGHT NOW

if this doesn't make you laugh I don't think we can be friends

Every time I watch this, I laugh until I cry.





I'm a little late to the Rick and Morty party, but I am now a slave.

This is not a dictatorship. This is America. Give me liberty, or give me meth.

I realize it is no longer winter here in the northern hemisphere, but I am too lazy and too unmotivated to make a new banner. 

Eleven is a mummy.

For Easter last week, I went to Savannah, GA with the fam to visit Lil Bro#1. I have discovered that my vertigo is extremely unhappy with long train rides, and Savannah is really freaking hot. 

Here's a nice family photo, which may or may not be taken down depending on how paranoid I feel about it being posted here.

(from left to right: Lil Bro#2, Mich, Step-mom, Dadum, Lil Bro#1, and Lil Bro#1's girlfriend.)

It has been observed that if you ignore hair and eye colour, Lil Bro#2 and I are almost identical. 

Lil Bro#2 has started making podcasts, I think the first one is pretty hilarious. 

Savannah is beautiful though, even if it is too bloody hot.

I enjoyed the Spanish moss.

Art has picked up again. I've been trying to expand beyond mushrooms and four-seasons-trees. I'm rather proud of this one:

I had intended to give it to Dadum for Fathers Day, but I kind of want to keep it...


SOME EXCITING NEWS: ~*~*I FINISHED A BOOK*~*~*

It still needs some editing, and I think it might be a little too short, but it is done. YA fiction following a 17-year-old recovering from a heroin addiction. Anyone out there willing to be a guinea pig?



In other news........

Some really good TV shows I have recently discovered:

The 100 - the only TV show in the history of forever where I actually really really like almost all of the female characters. That one's on Netflix, and new episodes are on the CW app.

Shameless (the US version) - on Netflix. Lil Sis was nagging me for ages to watch this, and I kept ignoring her until I discovered Zach McGowan is in it. 

Black Sails - on Hulu. Big Sis#2 was nagging me for ages to watch this, and I kept ignoring her until I discovered Zach McGowan is in it. Also Maggie Smith's son is in it and he's brilliant. (And gorgeous.)

Black Mirror - on Netflix. Most of the episodes have left me deeply disturbed, but I can't stop watching.


newly discovered band: The Bad Light. Listen.




Have a good week, y'all.
