But I...

The Ultimate Autumn Playlist For Nerds
Call me weird if you like, but autumn and winter are my favourite seasons. Sure, summer is nice with it's heat and it's pretty flowers and the opportunity to wear shorts but...it's just not for me.

I'm tired, mom.
"I'm tired, mom." but not tired like a need to sleep, tired like I'm so fucking done with my job and I want the world to stop and I just need a cup of tea.

Come on, Comfort. Show me what you've got.
It happens on the first page - "Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood.". Every single memory comes back like a flood, and I welcome it. Hello again, old friend.

Welcome Aboard: MIRAGE
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Which you'd know is complete bull if you've ever visited MIRAGE before, the home of everything and everyone, no matter who you are or what you are. Whether you're human or an orc, or a Gralien (grey aliens, people. We were super creative with naming species back in the day). Everybody is welcome. The freaks and geeks and everything from absolutely beautiful to outright fugly. Which is why - all three hundred and sixty five days of the year - you'll find me at MIRAGE.

Oh, To Kill A Star
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But, strictly speaking, that's not so true. You see, things do scream in the vacuum of space. Throughout all of the galaxies things are crying out, begging to be heard. Great wails and yells. The entirety of space is screaming - endless, painful screaming.

Love Smells Like…
I used to think love smelled like home-made cookies and my mother’s shampoo. It used to smell like motor oil and my dad’s hugs after his bike rides…until that all changed.

The Journey Is Long
There's blazing sunshine through a dirty window. Outside there is the constant stream of forests and fields all blurring into a sea of green - it's beautiful here. Here. Here is a place I do not know, not quiet yet.

The Big Summer Playlist
IMO, summer isn't summer until you've curated a super fun and extensive playlist that specifically reminds you of freshly cut grass, barbeques and ice cream galore, and getting sand in places you don't particularly want sand to be.

5 Reasons Why I Love 'The Adam Project': A Movie Review
Released earlier this month, The Adam Project has quickly become one of my favourite science-fiction action movies that Netflix has distributed. Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy truly are the dream team and this movie just proves it.
