Archive 81 is a found footage horror podcast about ritual, stories, and sound. It has released three seasons and two miniseries, with more to come. I don’t know that I like Archive 81 so far. I like that it questions the idea of the listener as just an observer, or a participant in a story.…

Star Trek the Original Series Season 1

M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Metamorphosis
A character is undergoing a change from human into… something else. Not necessarily always from human to beast.
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.
