Back in 2016, I picked back up my interest in comic books, after essentially re-watching everything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the end of the year, I discovered Cape and Cowl Comics in Oakland, and after only a few trips to the store, I realised the owner was super friendly and it was wonderful … More 2017 Comics, Graphic Novels, and Trades
At the beginning of 2016, I never set out to read a lot of graphic novels. My only reading goal was a measly 8 books (which I managed, even without including the graphic novels). But then came May, when I wandered into my local library, after borrowing a bunch of DVDs from them, including all … More 128 Graphic Novels/Comic Strip Books in 2016
Earlier this month, I posted part 1 of my thoughts I’ve had since attending the San Francisco Supernatural convention on Dec 2-4 2016. That post talked mostly about my relationship with Supernatural, fandom, and my creative career. This post will talk more about the convention itself; the events, and my reactions to them, and the … More Commentary and Thoughts After Attending My First Supernatural Convention (Part 2)
On September 26th, 2015, I got up on stage with my improv troupe, YUM, and delivered a 90 second monologue about how I’d bingewatched seven seasons of Supernatural in the previous five weeks (you can watch the clip below, if you’re interested). I’d started out just wanting to catch up on the series before season … More Commentary and Thoughts After Attending My First Supernatural Convention (Part 1)

I didn’t want to launch the crowdfunding campaign for it until I was sure I could deliver the goods in a timely manner, because I already had the ebooks and paperbacks ready … More Completing Marked by Scorn
This post is part review, part personal commentary. I turned 32 yesterday, and my gift from my husband’s parents was a ticket to see If/Then at SHN Orpheum in San Francisco. I really enjoyed it, and it brought up a lot of reflection and thoughts for me, so I wanted to share some of them … More Diversity and Emotional Connection with the Musical If/Then
When terrorist attacks occur in Western countries, Westerners can be quick to respond with vitriol and hatred directed at Muslims, whether or not the attack has yet been confirmed carried out by people who identify as Muslim. I don’t know what it was like before September 11, 2001, because I was only 17 then, and … More A Rare Commentary from Me About Vitriol Directed Toward Muslims
I’ve been a little lax when it’s come to announcing some of the latest happenings on my blog recently. But, since I was invited to be part of a blog party (click for the Facebook event), I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to talk about some of them, as a way of introducing … More Recent and Ongoing Projects, November 2013
I first learned about Sofia the First because of this story that was doing the rounds on social media about a father, whose son wanted the short movie on DVD, reacting to a jerk who acted like it was a bad thing for the son to like a princess show. About a month or so … More Sofia the First and The Princess Test
If this is the first time you’re reading me, let me first share with you the basics of where my perspective comes from. I’m a white Australian woman who has lived in Malaysia since November 2008. I travel a lot, and I consume media. Film and TV have been my preferred mediums, but I also … More Why I Think (Lack of) Racial Diversity in Media is a Global Issue
