    Living Situation (an OSS, by me :D )

    You awaken to the sound of a siren wailing. No, not an alarm siren. Not one of those ‘look out there’s a tornado coming!’, or the cold war ‘seek cover the Russians are bombing us!’ sirens. No – A Siren siren. The mystical murderous cousin of the mermaid. What do…

  • Book Recommendation: The Bridge

    The Bridge by Jeri Massi is quite possibly one of my favorite books ever! It has been a hot minute since I last read this book (don’t worry though, it’s on my list of ‘books-to-re-read-asap’!), so my synopsis for it might end up a little janky – but here’s what…

  • Loyal, Brave, & True (RE-WRITE!!!)

    When the live-action remake of Mulan came out, they added a new song titled “Loyal, Brave & True” by Christina Aguilera. The tune is nice, the song is fine – the lyrics are all wrong! Whoever wrote this song did not understand the character of Mulan at all! So –…
