In a small, informal poll on Twitter, I asked the writing community where they wrote most often. The possible answers were desk, couch/bed, table/flat surface, or other. In an unsurprising majority, the desk gained most of the votes, with a few for couch/bed and other also coming in. A couple of people commented to… Continue reading My Newest Obsession: Writing Spaces
I don’t know about you, but the inherent voyeuristic pleasure in observing others’ bookshelves is one of life’s gentlest joys. You can find common ground in shared reads, new titles for your TBR, question their taste, and so much more. Plus, in the years since social media has pushed the ‘reader aesthetic’, the organization… Continue reading Shelfie Update 2022
While we may live in an era of streaming and digital downloads, some patrons of physical media still buy and compile large collections of movies. This has various merits: if one month Netflix has the film you love and the next it doesn’t, owning a physical copy can guarantee the ability to watch whenever… Continue reading How I Organize My Giant Movie Collection
For almost as long as I can remember, Christmas has been full of decorations. Perhaps not always in the way people have expected – I’ve never had a house with pretty lights – but usually in a way that captures the spirit of the season and makes things feel homey. When I moved out of… Continue reading Deck the Halls: Christmas 2020 Home Décor
Before I moved out on my own, I made several lists. They included what kind of furniture I needed or had, my budgetary constraints, pros and cons, and also what kind of food I’d need on that first grocery trip after move-in. You can find lots of advice online on the staples you should… Continue reading My Must-Have Kitchen Staples
With all the chaos and general depression of 2020, I was really looking forward to my favorite time of the year – October, the spooky season. As soon as I felt a general chill in the air, I grabbed the bins out of my closet, made a few masked trips to a few of my… Continue reading That Spooky Aesthetic: Halloween 2020 Home Décor
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to decorate for one of my favorite holidays. In 2018 I’d just moved. In 2017 I was preparing to move. So, officially, the last time I vaguely decorated was in 2016 and I didn’t have half as many supplies as I do now. Thankfully, with a little… Continue reading That Spooky Aesthetic: Halloween 2019 Home Decor
Wherever I’ve been I’ve always had bookshelves. The only things that have ever changed have been the number, shelves, organization, and quality. For most of 2018, I lived off of one micromanaged BILLY bookcase and the rest of my books were in a storage unit. When I moved into an apartment, all the books… Continue reading Building a Better Bookshelf: A Winter Adventure
2018 began with me crying and laughing hysterically in a mini-van loaded up with personal belongings with a passenger window that refused to close as I drove to my mother’s instead of my new place of residence because I was scared someone might break into the van parked on the street and steal said… Continue reading Why 2018 Was The Worst
Technically speaking it’s been a year and two months since I moved out of my parent’s house and in with The Captain, B, and a spinning door of roommates. A lot of things were hard to deal with at first, but now they seem as easy as breathing. I’ve discovered a lot about myself in… Continue reading Home Alone: A Year on My Own
