Promises to mysef I intend to keep
I am a huge fan of being reliable. If I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it. The problem is I often have to say it out loud and do the things for other people. I keep putting the things I need off to the side while I do things for […]

Update on Ekatrina’s Trade
A while ago, admittedly a long while ago I talked about some sanity-saving projects I was working on for an Etsy trade along with a few things from around the house I was working on. Well, here is my update on that so my client doesn’t think I’m slacking off totally. 😉 The vest The […]

AAAS is biased in more than just their journal ‘Science’
Ever have a time when you’re edited heavily, then when what you wrote comes out in print it seems like all your thoughts were replaced? This has happened to me a few times over the course of my life. First with papers from school, then massive reports I had to write for an academic conference. […]

Hiiting It Daily
In effort to find ways to be healthy while having a job that primarily requires me to sit on my duff and write or go to meetings, I began looking around for options. There are a whole slew of various things you can do to get and stay healthy, but I have a severe attention […]

Dealing with stress
Everyone deals with stress, and most of us deal with it in a slightly different way. I’ve heard of drinking yourself to stupidity, punching bags at the gym, running until your legs are rubber, yoga, breathing exercises, partying, drugs, food, and many, many more. My vice, though, lies in being crafty. No, I don’t mean […]

The courage to live in uncertain times
Not many people in my immediate surroundings and circle of friends really and truly know what it is like to wonder about the safety and security of the place they live in. However, lately the people around me are starting to raise these questions and panic due to a couple nearby, violent home invasions, a […]

Fuse by Julianna Baggott {book review}
Fuse (The Pure Trilogy) by Julianna Baggott My rating: 4 of 5 stars Disclaimer: I won Fuse as a Goodreads Firstread. I received the book for free, but I am under no obligation to give a good review, just an honest one. It has been a long time since I’ve read a post-apocalyptic book that […]

Rememberance Day Pride — and changes in myself
Several months ago I decided to join the National Guard reserves. There were several reasons for this, really. Most of it is financial — I can’t afford to pay off my school loans with as little as I pay myself here at Insanitek, let alone the now required health care or other essentials of life, […]

One of a Kind
When something is One of a Kind, or OOAK, it’s exactly what you think it is. It’s unique, and there will never be another like it made again. In the crafting world this is a popular thing to do for artists that have an idea, but it’s either too complicated, customised, or expensive to ever […]
