The 500: 099–101
099 ~ Ultimate Fall League, 10/25Rough night, for me at least. I’d been having a difficult week, anxiety-wise. That translated to a game where I was out of sync with the rest of my team and pretty much in the way. (Although, in retrospect, the team we played has a junky style of defense which […]

096 ~ Event Dewey’s 24-Hour ReadathonI decided second-to-last minute to join Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon. My goal was to do a little extra reading over the weekend aside from finishing up a library book and my Deal Me In story. I participated mostly on Discord. Being on Pacific Time currently, the readathon started at 5am for […]

093 ~ Writing Fiction Resubmission / Update Got a rejection on my California gothic story. After a bit of submission grinding, I tossed it back out the door. The market I sent it off to is known for its speedy responses, so I expect to make another fiction update in the near future. Currently, I […]

090 ~ Ultimate Fall League, 10/18Thankfully, our roster was back to mostly normal this week. Still missing C (who’s playing at club national this weekend), as well as Tim and Andrew, but everyone else was present and played pretty well. We won a close game against a pretty athletic team. I handled most of the […]

087 ~ Minecraft Cottage Witch: RecastIn honor of spooky season, I’ve been trying out new Minecraft modpacks, looking for something with a good Halloween feel. And also lightweight and stable enough to play on my aged system. After trying a few, I settled on Cottage Witch: Recast. Not exactly Halloween-focused, but cozy with lots of […]

084 ~ Short Story “Who The Final Girl Becomes” by Dominique DickeyI was expecting a less specific story, but this was good. Dickey looks at coming out as transgender through the lens of one of the most popular gender-specific tropes of the 20th/21st century: the final girl. What if you’re the final girl, but you’re […]

081 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 40: 6♣️“Nine Theories of Time” by Spencer NitkeyA story of grief and grieving. I actually wish Nitkey would have stayed away from making this story science fiction. Most of the theories here are actual theories. When he slips into future theories, they feel less real. 082 ~ […]

078 ~ Short Story “Jack O’Dander” by Priya SharmaA little less speculative than I expect from Tor, but still high quality. I appreciate a character characters that buck expectations, that aren’t necessarily “nice.” I didn’t know exactly where this story was going, but I feel like some of it could have been told more succinctly. […]

074 ~ Movie The Tunnel (2011)Directed by Carlo Ledesma; Written by Julian Harvey and Enzo TedeschiStarring: Bel Deliá, Andy Rodoreda, Steve Davis, Luke Arnold This was my second faux documentary/found footage movie in a row. The Tunnel works better than The Poughkeepsie Tapes, in my opinion. It does again have a very slow wind up, […]

071 ~ Book An e-copy of A Haunting on the Hill was provided to me by Mulholland Books in exchange for an honest review. A Haunting on the Hill by Elizabeth HandElizabeth Hand courted a difficult task: write a story set in Shirley Jackson’s Hill House. Not a retelling of The Haunting of Hill House, […]
