Thoughtful Dumping Grounds

Trope: “I’m Fat!” No you’re not.

Letterkenny

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comedy

As a whole, or for the rest of the seasons, whichever. Letterkenny was something we started watching with our buds— I’ve seen a bit of it before, yeah, and our buds reminded me it existed so I says, hell yeah. We’re gonna watch it. Pull it up. Now we just finished all twelve seasons and

Letterkenny Season 3

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comedy

I noticed this a touch when Season 2 opened up and they just offhandedly mentioned Modean’s burnt down between seasons, but this season it jumps out at ya. Season 2’s last thirty seconds was Rosie coming out of her truck with a stud for Stormy, absolutely ringing Wayne’s bell, followed by his ex Angie who

Fuck This

I don’t like this. Sigh. You’re joking. I’m dropping this. I got 1 and 2 as part of a Humble Bundle ages ago and I thought it would be about healthy eating and such but instead it’s just… making fun of a girl desperate to lose weight… a girl who is… skinny… Like, I got

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.
