Bringing Curiosity to the Media I Love
I’m a bit late to the game as far as blogging in 2025, but hey, there’s no shame in making it right under the wire. I was just thinking that I’ve done so much in the last year, and I was too busy being in the middle of it to write about it, but so […]
I did one of these a few years ago, and I’ve been thinking I should bring it back. As before, books are presented in chronological order and can be found on a convenient little shelf if you’d like to support the site. (I earn commission on purchases made through my Bookshop page.) As an aside, […]
I haven’t published anything new in over a year!? Good grief, Charlie Brown! Longtime readers may notice that the site looks a bit different, not least because it gets you somewhere when you type in the address. I decided to switch hosting providers ages ago, but that meant essentially rebuilding the site from scratch, which […]
Hi there. Long time no see. I’m not really sure how to start this, so I guess we’ll just start. 2023 has been an interesting year full of… Life changes? Life adjustments? Life somethings. A few of these life somethings has been really cool, and what have made good blog posts, but maybe at the […]
I intended for this to be written and available before the release of Shadow and Bone season 2 on Netflix, but the longer I thought about it, the more thoughts I had.

Over the weekend, I cooked a full meal for myself, actually following a recipe (in the video above) and it went rather well! My two major requirements when selecting a recipe had been “vegetarian, and incredibly easy.” I also wanted to try cooking tofu. With the exclusion of ground beef, this one fit the bill. […]
I’ve never been good at video games, but in retrospect, I think I was just using the wrong system. I’ve had a Nintendo Switch for about three weeks and discovered that I really like it. I started with Animal Crossing, because it looked 1) fun, and 2) easy in terms of controls. In the past, […]
We ease our way out of a months-long writer’s block to bring you a list of questions that I, a wheelchair user, frequently ask before committing to social engagements. They help me get the lay of the land and figure out if an outing might be doable. The Questions Do I have a way to […]
Today is the two year anniversary of The Girl in the Chair! (Or it could have been yesterday, if you’re going by when I registered the domain.) Today is the two year anniversary of when I put stuff up here for people to read. I’ve learned a lot in that time, and this little corner […]
