In my last post, I mentioned that there were two people in the world whose loss I didn't think I could handle. Now one of them has COVID. Amy was over for my birthday the week before she tested positive, so I had to quarantine and got tested for the fifth time. Negative. The tests … Continue reading Streaming Instead of Screaming
Thoughts on Death
It is approximately the eleventh anniversary of the day I began writing my big bad book. It currently stands at 103,741 words. I might have finished it by now, but I haven't written anything since Foxy died. On Friday, October 16th, I was writing a scene by hand, writing down for the first time some … Continue reading Thoughts on Death
Marvin’s 2020 Birthday
This video gave me grief in editing, and as a result I was set back months for my vlogging schedule. Hopefully I figured it out and we won't have that problem anymore. https://youtu.be/QmWXoi53c_0

Similar to the quite-long title of a movie I'm in called "Events Transpiring Before, During, And After A High School Basketball Game" … Continue reading Recent Film Things

I Had My Heart Broken
I met him at a cat café. I'd only been to it a couple of times, usually not as long as I'd like. This time, however, I had the time. After I finished a sandwich and my tea, I washed my hands and went into the cat play area. There were a bunch of kittens … Continue reading I Had My Heart Broken
Oh, Canada
For those of you who are unaware, today is Canada Day. Some of my best memories have been on this date, including camping with family, my first time going up the Calgary Tower as a kid, getting to choose a new book at the bookstore, seeing fireworks with my first boyfriend, exploring celebrations downtown with … Continue reading Oh, Canada
