Frankenstein's Monster was Actually VERY literate
A short while ago I had decided to take it upon myself to read the 'greats'. You know, the supposed literary giants of the modern world. My journey began with Charles Dickens, traveled across space and time with Frank Herbert's Dune, and then back again to The Brontë's. Last year I read for the first time Bram Stoker's Dracula, and gained a new appreciation for the form of horror writing. Before Stephen King became the 'king' of horror and before Guillermo del Toro was Stoker. Before Stoker was the Queen of Horror: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

The Sound of Fire
What sound does the fire make? Is the music of fire bound to the material that it consumes? The wood pops differently than flesh. Earth eats fire, and in return fire burns the roots of tall and proud trees. Water may douse the flame but the heat remains and the smoke coils. Wind however. Wind encourages the flame. On currents it carries the song.

The Dictionary
The dictionary definition of... The dictionary defines ________ as: Tell me you've heard this, tell me that you've been in a discussion where things were going swimmingly and then you find yourselves arguing in circles and someone trots out the dictionary, as if it was the end-all be-all source document for humanity.

Food for Fantasy
"People who love to eat are always the best people" - Julia Child Food is an essential part of our lives, and when we read, if it's missing it feels like something is left out. From the Turkish Delight in Narnia, to Butterbeer in the Prisoner of Azkaban - thinking about the food in a fantasy setting helps to ground the characters. They have a favorite food? They're eating?

How to kill a Hummingbird
"I didn't come back to get back what I lost. I just want to protect what's here now." Nomad - Megalobox 2 I did that thing where once I finished a season, I wasn't ready for bed so I ruined my sleep schedule to binge an entire second season. Megalobox 2 entitled "Nomad" (which I'll just call it that from here on) is a great follow up to an already great 1st season.

Why you should start watching Romantic Comedies again
"That movie?" - "You want to see that movie?" - "Is your girlfriend making you watch it?" Some of the phrases that accompany a desire to watch a romantic comedy. One too many times, my friends and I would want to see a movie only for 'nothing' to be showing. By nothing of course, it was meant that no big blockbuster hit was currently playing. The next marvel film hadn't dropped, the newest Star Wars had already finished. That romantic comedy, or that feel good film about love, that was considered 'nothing'.

"A broomstick that flies?" Cliche' that's been done. What are you, a common witch? "Immortality potion?" Outlive all of your friends and watch them die. Phenomenal.
