I'm much nicer than I seem, we should be friends!

A Post By Any Other Name Would Get As Many Views?

Posted on December 30, 2017December 25, 2017 by Irina

Yeah…I’m not good at naming posts. I’ve never had a talent for it and I am so jealous of people who can come up with that perfect title off the tops of their heads like it was no big deal. It’s a very big deal! Unless someone is very familiar with your writing already and…

Posted on December 28, 2017December 28, 2017 by Irina

Christmas is for Lovers – My OTP

Posted on December 25, 2017December 28, 2017 by Irina

Some of you may have picked up on the fact that I’m not much of a romantic. It’s not that I have anything against lurve really but I am just generally bored by romantic storylines and find most of what passes for epic love stories to be frankly very unromantic…. I mean people still think…

Oh My Kami – Which Shrine should you Visit This New Year

Posted on December 23, 2017December 23, 2017 by Irina

So a couple of days ago I did a post on Japanese Christmas tradition as a thinly veiled excuse to eat nothing but cake for a couple of days. That was a good decision. My adulting skills are on point! Anywho, I mentioned in that post Christmas itself was not exactly the major holiday in…

Friday Hunt – Hunter X Hunter challenge week 17

Posted on December 22, 2017December 22, 2017 by Irina

I had the toughest time with this one. Every time I chose an arc I would immediately change my mind. It got so bad I almost chose the Chimera ant arc again, since I at least can find reasons to dislike it – it has my saddest scene pick for one.

Christmas Cake Tradition and Recipe

Posted on December 20, 2017December 20, 2017 by Irina

Aaaahhh Christmas cake. For most of us in the Western world, this means the dense, molasses filled, door stomp like substance also known as fruit cake. No one likes fruit cake.

Did 2017 not turn out exactly how you would have liked it to? Maybe you have a regret here and there. Maybe the entire world just went crazy for the past two years but in hindsight you now know what went wrong? Maybe you just lost your keys, but you know you must have had…
