Irina: It’s me guys! Man I have GOT to figure out how to start posts. It’s getting sad… What was I saying? Nothing, I just started…oh well this is going great… A little while ago, I posted a series of tips about how to write about/review a series or episode, when you don’t really have…

Posted on June 7, 2018May 12, 2018 by Irina

You guys may not remember this but I’m actually part of this great podcast group and whenever I’m not shirking my podcasting responsibilities, I annoy them on Twitter and try to steal their insights. I’m not the best… This time, after Remy for the Lily Garden showed us his really awesome view counts on twitter…

So many words, So little thoughts – Reviewing shows you have nothing to say about

Posted on May 31, 2018May 12, 2018 by Irina

For those of us who write anime reviews, especially those brave souls who do so on an episodic basis, there will come a time when you are faced with a show you just don’t have that much to say about. You know…it was fine. I can hear some of you already, just don’t review it if…

Boy some of you guys sure are smart, and witty, and you know big words and stuff…My reader feed gets regularly populated by deeply insightful academic dissertation of my favorite animes or topical parsings of the elements of a particular genre.

In Defense of Tags – A Non Tag Post about Tags

Posted on May 24, 2018May 24, 2018 by Irina

If you’ve been blogging or reading non-professional blogs for any amount of time, you’ve most likely come across the “award” or tag post at some point. These wily little beasts are the cause of much inconsequential dilemmas in the blogging community. Everyone has their own views and takes on them and how to approach one….

In Anime and In Blogging, There is Nothing New Under the Sun

Posted on April 21, 2018April 7, 2018 by Irina

You know that thing: the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? It’s basically when you’ve never even thought of something but suddenly it occurs to you then you start seeing it everywhere? I think it might be my superpower… With blog posts at least… As some of you know, I schedule everything and on average will write a post 2…

I Respectfully Disagree

Posted on March 30, 2018April 7, 2018 by Irina

Do you visit my blog for all the anime content?  I admire your optimism! I’ll get back to reviews someday soon, I promise. Sadly, not today…. I am once again going to babble on about a random subject for way too long because I haven’t yet finished an anime I can review for you… Have…

Dealing With A Lull

Posted on March 21, 2018March 21, 2018 by Irina

Very few things in life are sustained. Pretty much everything both inside and outside of ourselves, goes through periods of high stress and activity and moments of calm. For bloggers, this can mean seeing a dip in your page views and a marked slowdown in new followers. If you haven’t done anything obvious to cause…

Style Over Substance

Posted on March 3, 2018March 2, 2018 by Irina

I care about my blog’s appearance. Possibly a bit too much. I have poured hours into going over all the available WordPress themes just to end up keeping the one I have every single time. I like it a lot and I don’t see it that often, but I have overcluttered it a touch and…

The Many Sides of the Monetization Coin

Posted on January 24, 2018January 24, 2018 by Irina

Right now, I’m involved in an ongoing Kaizen at work. Basically, my input is required to restructure our entire office procedures and set up, plus my usual responsibilities to my clients. This has been a time-consuming venture of debatable value, that has left me much less time than usual to write posts. Almost no time…

Stats I’ll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

Posted on January 16, 2018January 16, 2018 by Irina

I love stats. It’s already been properly established that I am essentially the personification of cool, so naturally statistical analysis and data mining are my jam. People, put your clothes back on. I understand it’s hard to control yourselves right now but you must try! I’ve seen a lot of you share your blog stats…
