My intro

By -
So. This is blogging. Nifty. Not sure how often I will post, or what I will talk about, but here I am. I think, as far as introductions go, there are a few things you should know about me. I am a giant nerd. I have a huge love of books, mostly sci-fi, fantasy, and anything related to psychology. I have an even bigger love of cats, with my current herd totaling 10 spoiled rotten furbabies. I have an amazing husband who puts up with way more than most sane people probably would from me, but he has the patience of a saint, which is one of the many maddening things I love about him. I am a psychotherapist. I have spent 20 years studying psychology in an effort to better understand myself, my friends, and my fellow humans. I still haven't got it all figured out. I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, with a dose of Anxiety on the side. I want to say I am currently in remission, but if I am honest with myself, I am probably mildly - very mildly - depressed at this time. I say this because I haven't been able to enjoy many of the things I usually enjoy, such as reading. So instead I am enjoying people. I am making new friends and learning all the new and wonderful things about those new friends. People are sort of a hobby for me, in the sense that I am genuinely fascinated by the way they think, feel, and behave, and I love learning all the things I can about new people. I ask a lot of questions, and people sometimes think I am analyzing them, but I prefer to say that I am trying to understand them instead. Analyzing has a cold and clinical ring to it, and unless you are my clinical client, I am not aiming to be clinical with you. I simply want to understand the way you think and feel and behave, so I can know you and grow closer to you. If we are ever conversing and I am asking too many questions, please let me know. It's a "bad habit" of mine. But also know that it's only because I want to make sure I understand you fully, likely because you fascinate me. Please try to see that as a compliment, instead of an annoyance. And please feel free to ask me as many questions back as you like. I am an open book and there is very little I won't share about myself, much to my husband's chagrin.
Anyway, I think that's all for now. Peace out y'all.

John Wick is amazing and here's why.......

By -
By a raise of hands, how many of you have seen the first John Wick movie? A bunch of you, good. Now, raising your other hand, how many of you have seen John Wick Chapter 2? Not as many but still a bunch, if you can read this and haven't dropped your phone, go ahead and put your hands down now. Thanks for participating. For those who didn't raise their hands, I am going to be talking about the movies, and try not to spoil anything, but just beware that reading this may lesson some of the joy of watching the movie for the first time with only knowing a little bit about it. I'll wait while you decide how much you want to know…………… …………………………………………………. ……………………………………………. ……………………………………… ………………………………. ……………………….. ………………….. …………… …….. … Okay, is it safe to talk? Those movies are amazing on so many levels for so many reasons. Not even sure where to begin. Actually, no, that's a lie. I will begin with my favorite thing abo...

Here comes news I have been waiting to hear for years: The people behind Avatar The Last Airbender ,  Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko , are working on a BUNCHof new Avatar shows. The new Avatar Studios’ slate will consist of an animated movie AND show debuting every year starting in 2025, including the adult Gaang movie and new earth Avatar show in 2025, including the Zuko movie and the Kyoshi Movie, which have both been reconfirmed as in development. I shared the image earlier but I will again, to give you an idea of the timeline. So we have Live Action Netflix adaptation that I am just hoping is better than the last live action adaptation. Then the original team but as adults, then new Avatar that involves the next Avatar after Kora, then Zuko movie, another spin off possibly based on young Aangs journey before getting trapped in the ice, then the Kyoshi movie and possibly even another animated series. So much Avatar and I am here for it. Though I do think they nee...

GenCon 50

By -
Wee hours of the morning and I find myself still trying to finish packing for one of the biggest gaming events of the year (I know our traveling companions are still packing too). We leave Friday, but that does not mean that my brain is not going into overdrive trying to make sure that every necessary costume piece is packed. I start thinking to myself..."I could do this for a living. Traveling somewhere different all the time, cosplaying someone who isn't me." My dogs pace around my feet, whining and sniffing my suitcase. Gencon 50 is going to be the biggest it has ever been. They have had nearly all badges sell out (100,000+). I can not even imagine being stuck close quarters with that many people at once. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, SHOWER! Do not be the typical "nerd" stigma. We are a proud community and we have built up this grand thing. Every person is there to have fun to their own level of satisfaction and it is such a wonderful thing to see e...
