I was going to post a review of The Book Thief today, but I'm trying to correct my sleeping patterns. They've gotten progressively worse as I've stayed up later and later without any 9am classes to wake up for. Yesterday I had the bright idea to just stay up all night until 9pm, but then … Continue reading The All-Nighter
Oven-Baked Chicken
I finally bought an oven tray last week and I decided to try it out. The thing was, I didn't really know any recipes that required an oven tray, which begs the question, why did I buy it? Well, it can't be that hard to make something up, right? Right. So I made up a … Continue reading Oven-Baked Chicken
Outfit of the Week: The Romper
The Romper: high fashion or passing fad? To be honest, I didn't really care when I tried on this one from New Look. I saw it on a mannequin and immediately liked it. Palm leaf print is today what pineapple print was yesterday. It gives off that Hawaiian vibe and makes me think of sitting in … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Romper
Chapter 200
At 4pm on March 11th, 2015, a Wednesday, I finished writing the 199th chapter of the first draft of what I call Book 3 (it hasn't got a title yet). On the page, I wrote the time and date because I had reached a milestone. Two hundred chapters and only a few more to … Continue reading Chapter 200

Shall we begin? Food: Chinese takeout. So convenient for lazy days, and it will literally last you days. Film: As … Continue reading (#15) Weeklies
Outfit of the Week: The Go-Go Girl
This one's pretty self-explanatory. Behold, a workout outfit. I'm probably the last person you want to get workout tips from, but at least I know how to look like I know what I'm doing. This type of outfit is also good for being on the go and is extremely comfortable, so whether you're playing tennis, … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Go-Go Girl
New Header!
Unless you're brand new (in which case, welcome!), or you only ever read my posts on the WordPress reader, you've probably noticed the new site header! If you haven't noticed, just scroll up a bit, it's kind of hard to miss. The old one looked like this: It served its purpose while I started up, … Continue reading New Header!
Siblings
It's National Sibling Day! (Or it was?*) Naturally, I went on the hunt for some pics of me and my siblings, who will be referred to as Emmy and Bub, because that's what I call them. Emmy is fifteen (or sixteen? She had a birthday not even a week ago. I should know this...I think … Continue reading Siblings
The Three-Month Re-Decoration
Every three months, I redecorate my space somehow. I can't help it, it just drives me up the wall staying in the same space for too long. I haven't had to worry about that for the past few years, now. I went off to university for three months, that was a room change. Then I … Continue reading The Three-Month Re-Decoration
