Memory is redundant: it repeats signs so that the city can begin to exist.

what you say: i'm voting third party

what i hear: i have a fundamental misunderstanding of how american politics work and also enough privilege to realize that my life won't be that bad should trump actually win

J.R.R. Tolkien started the Hobbit while grading examination papers. He found a blank page in one of the exams. Suddenly inspired, he wrote the words, “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit”.

Love isn’t like it is in books.

People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.

Making an attempt to return to blogging!

Making an attempt to return to blogging!

It’s been about 5 months since I wrote my last blog post and I never planned to take such a long break. Sometimes, though, different parts of your life throw you off-balance; that’s what happened to me. I realize that sounds dramatic, but it really wasn’t. I just stepped up at work to help out in a few different areas that ended up to demand more of my weekly schedule, which affected how much job…

Flights of Fantasy: Check-in (2)

Flights of Fantasy: Check-in (2)

Flights of Fantasy reading challenge is hosted by Alexa Loves Books and Hello, Chelly. End of January, beginning of February! Is it just me, or does time pass much more quickly once you’re finished with school? At any rate, let’s check in…. In January, I read a total of 10 books, only 4 of which had mainly fantasy elements (I still get confused as to whether or not dystopians and sci-fis are…

Drinking games for book nerds

Drinking alone (no judgement)

Chug your ale each time Dickens introduces a new character.

Do a shot each time you look over your shoulder during 1984. Two shots if you get up to close the curtains.

Slam a Red Bull every time you turn the page in Wuthering Heights. Just to stay awake, really.

Take a sip of wine for every Biblical sin you’ve committed. Start at Genesis.

Drinking with friends

Take turns trying to recite the infamous 11,282-word sentence from Ulysses in one breath. Whoever stops first has to drink the most.

Smuggle booze into a library. Or go to your bookshelves. Pull out books at random, playing “Never have I ever” with books: “Never have I ever read Throne of Glass,” etc. All who have read the book in question must take a drink.

Take turns reading passages from The Bell Jar aloud. Whoever cries hardest must be cut off from alcohol immediately. This is followed by a group hug and gentle rocking.

Group-read a Shakespeare play and take a shot whenever there’s a joke about venereal disease, gender roles, or sexual relations.

Flights of Fantasy: Check-in (1)

As the first full week of the new year comes to a close, I want to post an update about how my first #FlightsofFantasy challenge is going so far! And would you guess what?
