Homestead

⭐⭐
Action,Drama,Pew Pew
I did not care for this movie. It was overacted, overdone, corny. Lot of masculine games going on until Ian gets shot and Jenna lets them all in and there’s, like. Faith stuff. Basically criticizing the need to hoard materials and prepper culture in the face of WWJD and stuff. That’s the good part, actually,…

The Purge: Anarchy

⭐⭐⭐
Action,Horror,Pew Pew
As I watched it, I was laughing to myself. No wonder it is so popular a series. For people like me, it’s a criticism of the government putting systems in place that fuck over the lower class in order to build a world where those on top stay on top, enjoying the fruits of the…

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.

What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
