So, based on the last post I did, you've got your setting, you've got some friends, you've got a map, you've watched some Matt Mercer and Critical Role, and you've maybe got the D&D Starter Set. What next? The Protagonists Your friends. It's time to ask them to create their characters. From what I've seen… Continue reading How to Start Playing D&D for the Total Noob (aka: Me) • Part 2
The gameplay is super intuitive. Anyone who knows how to touch a smart screen will figure out how to play this game. Despite its themes of murder and mystery, I’m actually going to suggest it as a Christmas group game to my family to spice up our actives.
In the wake of being made redundant, hopefully scoring a new job with greater prospects, and forever waiting to hear back from my agent (I've bought Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2018 because I'm beginning to worry he doesn't have time to take me on - I also need to brush up on knowledge of publishing contracts), I am desperate… Continue reading We Need More Lesbian Knights
Don't agree to everything your agent says. Soooooo... Last time I updated, my agent Suresh and I were talking about THE ENDING of my novel. And we talked for nearly two months about the bloody ending. For the first time, I just couldn't accept the changes he wanted me to make, full stop. Originally, I'd… Continue reading Getting Published: part…six?
I'm back from Turkey by about a week and, wow, food wise, last week was a shambles. To be fair, we were mostly too tired and immediately too busy to even care about shopping for the week. Two days back from Turkey, I went for an appointment with an adorable nutritionist. As someone with fibromyalgia that… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: oh hiya
We're heading to Turkey today, but while I've got five minutes spare I thought I'd whap up the food post I didn't do yesterday, I know you're dying to see what this week's millennial diet consisted of. Also, don't worry about the cat, she's going to be loved and looked after by my siblings, yaay! Tuesday Mushroom… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: no money
That's all I've really got to say right now. Especially his face.
We ate so cheap, and yet we discovered two new favourites. I barely contained myself from eating all the leftovers that usually become next day's lunch. We also kind of cheated on Monday, since Aaron's parents have gone away for an extended period of time and told us to take anything perishable in the fridge. Well. If… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: so cheap, much eat
You know you're blog is spiralling beyond control when a customer comes into work and says, "I didn't know you had a food blog!" Aha. Yup. For now. Today I was so stressed about my agent's fluctuating feedback on the ending of my novel, I ate nothing but chocolate and pancakes as I awaited his… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: I need to accept this food theme, don’t I?
I am in fact working on a blog along the lines of: 'what would a matriarchal society actually look like' based on my frustration with the game franchise Mass Effect and their lazy alien race the asari. But Life has been busy, full of late night trips on the motorway with ballet tickets won in a raffle, loooooong… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: I swear this isn’t a food blog
Welcome back to cooking with two lazy cheapskates, where cooking can be easy as sneezing, tasty as gourmet, and within budget of a sinking economy. We still haven't quite grasped a "theme" week, where we taste culinary delights from mostly one part of the world, but we used up everything in the fridge again and… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: gosh I eat out of bowls a lot
Meet Japan's plus-size model: Naomi Watanabe. She looks like the first person you should take to a party and the one person who'd maybe cheer you up during the apocalypse. Her mission: to break Japanese stereotypes about women being slim and demure. In fact, she's done a hell of a lot. Not only is she… Continue reading All Female Japanese Ghostbusters
Welcome to cooking with a student and a poor writer, neither of whom can be arsed with recipes that have more than four steps.

But working a 9-to-5 on another planet — whose day is 40 minutes longer than Earth's — has particular, often comical challenges. | Ted Official Who doesn't… Continue reading Martian Language is Already Being Developed!
As men and women of all ages suffer self-deprecating thoughts about their physical appearance, it's easy to feel isolated within that self-hatred. Why? Because fat-shaming. We've become so used to idealising images of toned celebrities that we try to pretend such physiques don't require a strict and active lifestyle to not only achieve but also… Continue reading Body Positive Panda Feelings
