Greatness Adjacent
Posted on April 13, 2021 72 Comments
For as long as I can remember, people have asked me, “what is it like to have a famous father?” Of course, it’s only ever people at conventions, or in my rural town, as my dad is what I like to call “Little League Famous.” This just means he is only well-known within certain communities, […]

Hey, everyone! I hope your weekend is going well so far. This Saturday is a rainy one, but before it started pouring, I went to Stillwater Prairie. It’s a reserve/park with lots of nice trails, a river, and a pond. I wanted to see if I could get some good pictures of flowers starting to […]
A Sweet Review For You This Friday
Posted on April 9, 2021 7 Comments
I feel like my reviews are just getting more and more random. Like, last time was toasted corn crackers, this time it’s honey lollipops. I buy weird shit, okay? I am weak to the powers of Facebook advertising. They just know exactly what I want! Before I even know I want it! Anyways, today’s products, […]

Spoiler-Free Thoughts On Invincible So Far
Posted on April 5, 2021 32 Comments
Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… an Amazon Prime original animated series about superheroes? Interesting. I hadn’t heard of Invincible at all until my friend mentioned it, and I was shocked I hadn’t seen anything about it. Me, loving superheroes, immediately watched it. At the time I watched it, the first […]

That’s right, y’all, I have been vaccinated! To be more specific, I got my first dose of Moderna. I’m due for my second shot at the end of the month. In case you didn’t see, I had corona back in early December. Though it wasn’t bad for me, I decided to get vaccinated anyways because […]
Product Review: Craize Corn Crackers
Posted on March 30, 2021 9 Comments
Last week, I was advertised a snack food on Facebook while hungry, and inevitably bought it. The tempting snack I am referring to is called “Craize“, a company that sells flavored toasted corn crackers. The company boasts that they are better and healthier alternatives to tortilla chips. They have seven flavors as of right now: […]
I’m Over Being Overweight
Posted on March 26, 2021 175 Comments
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while, but I wasn’t sure how to without making it sound like I’m fishing for compliments or throwing myself a pity party. But I think I finally am able to express this in a way that’s kind of just matter-of-fact, rather than being a sad sack […]
Who’s A Good Girl?
Posted on March 25, 2021 13 Comments
It’s Charlie! Charlie is a very good girl, and I wanted to share her adorableness with you all! Having a dog has always been a norm in my life. Kodi was around before I was born, so she was a part of my life right from the beginning. When she died, I felt grief for […]

My First Tik Tok!
Posted on March 22, 2021 9 Comments
After months of debating with myself, I finally made a Tik Tok account. “Why so much indecision?” you may wonder. Well, it’s because Tik Tok is very much about filming yourself, either talking or dancing or singing or really anything. And I have a very big issue with that since I can’t stand to see […]

This post was supposed to come out last Monday, but my brain said “nah,” but at least it’s here now! If you missed my posts about the first six episodes, you can find them here, and here! Now that you’re all caught up, let’s dive right back in. Here is your SPOILER WARNING, but this time, […]
Slate Lactose Free Chocolate Milk: Taste Test and Thoughts
Posted on March 15, 2021 21 Comments
If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I love chocolate milk. So when I got an ad for Slate, a company that boasts a delicious, healthier, shelf-stable version of the stuff we all know and love, I decided to give it a shot. Slate’s version of chocolate milk is 120 calories per […]
Time To Rant About Time Travel
Posted on March 12, 2021 102 Comments
Welcome to today’s post, where I’m going to yell about time travel in movies and shows and you’re going to like it! Or, if you don’t, that’s okay, too. We can have different opinions on time travel. But my opinion is that it sucks. I despise time travel. It’s confusing, almost never makes sense, and is […]
Bit of a Bust Bagels
Posted on March 10, 2021 59 Comments
In another bout of culinary adventuring, I decided to make homemade bagels! One of my favorite food bloggers, Half Baked Harvest, posted a recipe for cinnamon crunch bagels, and I decided to try my hand at it. This post’s purpose is to take you, my dear reader, on the journey that was bagel making. Let’s […]
Smoothie Time!
Posted on March 8, 2021 17 Comments
Like the sheep I am, it is easy to persuade me to try something, especially if it has to do with food. So when I suddenly started getting (and still am getting) nonstop ads for a smoothie brand called Kencko, I decided to try it out. Kencko is a company that takes farm-fresh fruits and […]
I Was Going To Title This “Mlem Monday” But Then I Remembered It’s Friday
Posted on March 5, 2021 13 Comments
Sugar wants you to know she is offering up the highest quality of mlem’s, just for you! So you should feel special. And give her catnip. In other non-mlem related news, I was going to write about Fruits Basket today and talk about how incredible and amazing it is, but then it pissed me off right […]
Making It Up As I Go Along
Posted on March 2, 2021 108 Comments
Like most twenty-somethings (if not all), I’m trying to figure out what to do with my life. And it’s hard as shit. I was supposed to do this when I was eighteen, but I’m a bit of a procrastinator, so I’m still trying to decide what it is that I want to spend my one and […]
Watching Despite Myself
Posted on February 27, 2021 27 Comments
I am not someone who has ever thought of anything as “too mainstream.” I am not someone who has ascribed to the stereotype of a hipster by refusing the things in life that other people enjoy. Or, at least, I thought I wasn’t that person, until I realized the other day that maybe I am that […]
