Fun Photo Friday 2/5

 TGIFPF, my friends!

What has Hazel been up to?

Another chapter in the riveting saga of "Will Hazel ever figure out how to get downstairs?"


Hazel made a little dip in the blanket to insert her face. My taking the photo disturbed her.


Hazel came to look at me while I sat at my desk.


Then set her lasers to Hypnotize.


Ever just feel like faceplanting into your bed?


Hazel inspects my face after work.


If only photos could capture Hazel's purring


In other news...

I made lemon cheesecake bars! From scratch! Even the crust (if smashing vanilla wafer cookies and mixing them with butter is from scratch)


I attended a live virtual event celebrating Paul's new album, under the name State Machines. The photo that displayed during the whole show ensured that Boycat attended in spirit. You can check out the recording from the event and/or you can check out the new State Machines album.



Thanks for stopping by! Do Fridays mean anything to you besides pictures of Hazel? Now that I work Thursday through Monday, they don't mean much else to me! Do you have a cool project I can feature like State Machines? LMKP (let me know, peeps)

Why Do We Like to Make Characters Suffer?

There's a question that I've been pondering lately: Why do people like seeing their favorite characters suffer? As many of you know, I love Final Fantasy VII. In particular, I love Cloud Strife, the moody sad boy protagonist of the game. Because of my great affection for this fictional man, I seek out (and write) fanfiction where Cloud faces a variety of hardships from childhood trauma to harrowing battle injuries to horrific laboratory experimentation to plain just being lonely. But why? Why do I like reading about a character that means a lot to me, who reminds me a lot of myself in some ways and has helped me understand myself better, suffering? Why do I seek out stories where he is in pain? And why am I not alone? There is an entire genre of fanfiction called “whump” where the writer’s favorite character is subjected to whatever sadistic imaginings the author can dream up. And people can dream up a lot of pain for Cloud Strife, largely because that’s sort of his deal in th...

Creative Writing Archive: To Write Your Words in the Cloud

 Hello all! Remember when I started this blog and I claimed that part of its purpose was to post my creative writing projects? If you've been dutifully scrolling through pictures of Hazel waiting for the real show to begin, today's your day. I've decided to start by posting some old writing from my Google Drive Creative Writing folder. Part of what I found exciting about starting my own blog was the prospect of finally having a place to publish my writing because it's something I've dabbled in for almost my entire life but rarely had a meaningful audience for, which has at times been disheartening. Today's entry in the archives is from November 10, 2018. It was the founding document of my Creative Writing folder in Google Drive, which, up to that point, had only really been a place where I saved work documents. I considered not posting this one because it was more of a warm-up, I thought, than an actual piece of creative writing, but rereading it, I think it...

Notes from the Frontlines of Customer Service

 Hey y'all! It's been a minute! (a month actually) Posting here has not made my top priority list unfortunately for the last few weeks, but I figured I'd do something a little fun today. I have been working at Starbucks, my first customer service job, for about two and a half months now. I thought it could be entertaining to chronicle one of the most recognized aspects of the customer service industry: the disparity between your thoughts and your words. Anyone who has ever worked in any sort of service capacity will know exactly what I'm talking about. Scenario 1: the highly specific request Customer: Could I have a strawberry refresher with coconut milk? My thoughts: You mean a  pink drink? That's literally a separate thing on the menu. Me: Sure! Customer: Could it be 60% strawberry and 40% coconut milk? My thoughts: *dial up loading noise* Me:  You know, I bet a pink drink will be just what you're looking for! I'll ring it up as one of those! Scenario 2...
