Monster Fangirls 2: Electro Boogaloo

Should I move my lazy bum and do a weird holiday blog post to account for my unannounced hiatus? Yes. Will I? Evidently not right now.
(Spoilers for Carmilla the Series)

In the Beginning....

....A lot of people had nervous breakdowns. *throws confetti*

Coming Home

A lot inspired this post. I'll spare you all the gory details, given that it would involve three separate stories. I'm going to tell you one.

Suzanne Collins, Scott Westerfeld, and Senator Stevens

I'm sure you guys already know what I'm going to say.
Today I logged onto Tumblr after a long day(or, rather, just opened the page-it's not like I ever log off)and found my dashboard full of the loading circle of death. Any of you devoted bloggers out there, you know the panic I experienced. Then I remembered the date.
It's Shutdown Day.
To be perfectly honest, I'm still confused. I'm not totally sure what's going on. But I do know that I have been informed that somebody is trying to take away my internet. Given that I'm a blogger, writer, fanperson, and possessor of several internet friends, I think you can see why this concept would be upsetting for me.
If anybody would like to step up and explain this to me a bit better, I would welcome it, 'cause I'm beginning to feel like I'm living in the future, and it is not Gene Roddenberry's.

Sing It, Daddy!

Given the news from the Supernatural offices, I think there's a subject we need to talk about.

Musicals.

A Collar of Shame

Whew! Fresh off a second vacation and several books, I have a brand-new review for you guys. I just finished this book this morning, but, to be perfectly honest, I can't shut up about it. Today's subject is Leigh Bardugo's awesome debut, Shadow and Bone.
Again, I'm tackling a very spoilery novel, so the only thing I can really say is, it's great, it's wonderful, go read it. It's got twice as many twists and turns as a roller coaster, so I wouldn't advise finding out much beforehand. Do yourself a favor and skeedadle.

In Memoriam

Now seems like a good time to talk about death.
