Month in Review(s) - March 2018
March. Ah, March.
There was some good, incredible, awesome stuff - like a Fall Out Boy concert last week (completely awesome!) and hitting 200k page-views on Dora Reads (I LOVE YOU MY NERDLETS!!!) - but there was also a lot of stress, worry, Anxiety, etc.
There's a lot of personal stuff going on atm, including my grandmother being in hospital since the beginning of the month - and thanks so much for your support my dearest nerdlets! You rock, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
March, for yours truly, was one of those months with too much trouble, and too little time to deal with it.

Comics Wrap-Up - And The Silence Is So Deafening, It's Like Picking at a Sore
I'm super-tired this week, so if I'm spouting nonsense and/or using verbiage and syntax usually found only in 19th Century novels (a weird habit I have sometimes when I'm tired,) then that's why! 😅

Month in Review(s) - February 2018
You remember, in January, when I said I was getting the hang of the whole life-balance deal-y?
Yeah... well, regular service has resumed. My life is back to Milo-Murphy's-Law-levels of randomness.
If you haven't seen Milo Murphy's Law, this is what I'm talking about:
(Warning: flashing images)
...I relate so hard it scares me.
Typical example: I had a scratch on my hand. Not unusual?
It was from the cat. Still not that odd?
It was because the cat was squirming, trying to stop me, from stopping him, from climbing into my big brother's sling (which he was wearing at the time,) which he has because he broke his arm roller-skating.
This is my life.

Comics Wrap-Up - You're Gonna Hear Me Roar
Firstly, my dearest nerdlets, Happy St. David's Day/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus! You can check out some Welsh-language music in a blogpost I wrote on Sunday to celebrate.
Yes, I have now seen Black Panther! It was totally awesome-ful! XD (And most of what I have for you this week is Black Panther-related!)
And this week is one of those weeks where everything I have for you comes under the 'other stuff' category. Blame Loki. #AlwaysBlameLoki

Friday Fics Fix - Something Trashy
Dumpsters! Friendship! Diversity! What more could you want?!*
I've told you before, my dearest nerdlets, about the awesomeness that is the 'dumpster brothers' meme/trope/sub-fandom/whatever!
But, in case you need some refreshment: Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and Matt Murdock (Daredevil) combine their odd habit of ending up in dumpsters to become friends!
(Yes, it's usually as random as it sounds!)
*Don't answer that.

Comics Wrap-Up - If This Is What You Want Then Fire At Will
I'm writing this week's wrap-up with the flu. So if I say things that don't make any sense, just smile and pat me on the head, k? 😉

Comics Wrap-Up - They Say We Are What We Are
Due to some American football hijinks, we got an Avengers: Infinity War trailer this week.
I can't help but feel that we've had more in past years. But if a random-a** sport wants to give me superheroes, I'm fine with it! ;)
(And yes, it is American football - real football is played with a round ball and two nets #JustSaying. Also, I was a fantastic goalie as a kid. #TrueStory.)

Month in Review(s) - January 2018
January felt like a month which put a rocket to my secret* blogging powers.
I don't know why, but I actually really liked the posts I wrote this month! And I'm (finally) beginning to get a handle on the whole 'juggling work, life, blogging, and miscellaneous other stuff' thing.
That said, I've probably just jinxed myself for the year ahead. My life tends to resemble an episode of Milo Murphy's Law sometimes 😅

Decemmmmberrrr!!!!!!!!! Wooo!!! XD (Yes, it's January - but let's face it, I never wrap-up on time.)
OK, so December for me was actually super-super-hectic, but it came with Christmas at the end, so I really can't be mad at it! Lol.
