    The Purge: Anarchy

    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…

    This anime was actually recommended to me by my brother, so of course I just watched it the whole thing. I’m wondering if they wanted to make another season? I’m on stand by. The trailer gives you a sort of whimsical sense, right? Right? WRONG IT’S ONLY LIKE THAT FOR MAYBE TWO EPISODES, THIS IS…

    The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows #2

    The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows #1

    Aight we already know that fantasy healers have my undying loyalty. This dude is an absurdly talented healer and I am stealing ideas that I haven’t already utilized myself. That said! It’s primarily a harem builder series. I was hopeful we could just watch some cool stuff happen but… well… There IS a possibility of…

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.
