Over the past month I’ve been in a Marvel binge. Mainly, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s super popular right now, and part of me feels like all these movies that are being made just for me are being sullied by all these other millions of people watching and enjoying them.
I mean, they’re mine. I get to enjoy them, not other people.
Regardless, they’re out there now and part of me doesn’t want to Read more of this blog post »

I don’t remember a lot about this book but I remember I hated it. Not to shit all over the author, who wrote a very competent book, I was just not into it at all, and marveled a bit at how much I did not like what I read. I took to heart the love let ...more

Welp, as I said before. If I don't recall the book existing, let alone me reading it, then it gets three stars. It might not seem fair to books I've rated lower, but I figure if I remember that I didn't like it it, well, then it was memorably bad. Th ...more

New rule, or maybe an existing one that I forgot I had. If I don’t remember anything about a book at all. Like, a complete blank in my mind where there should be thoughts about it, then it gets 3 stars. I figure I should at least remember that I’d re ...more
