Shoresy Season 5
This was a good season.After season 4’s stick slap to the ice ending, it’s been on my mind endlessly.

Shoresy made a strong coach, making a case for bringing hockey back to the traditional core…

M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: I Know a Guy
The story pulls a character out of its pocket to move the story forward, provide clues, or generally just to raise the reputation of characters.
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.
