This post sucks. I'll be funny again tomorrow. Feel free to ignore it. Also I should be writing my support handover documentation for my project, but I needed a break from technical writing to have a minor meltdown. So I have this book proposal in the works, and I don't want to write it. I… Continue reading Things I Don’t Want to Write

I'm a history and mythology fanatic with a head full of "but what if it happened THIS way instead" moments. I find humor in the most inappropriate situations.
Because Velociraptors, Horatio – Episode Three
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet, Act I, Scene V, 184-185, Shakespeare, about 400 years ago, but STILL a couple million years after dinosaurs. Today in our "what the actual fuck is going on in Hastings" post, the trilogy is completed with an unlikely… Continue reading Because Velociraptors, Horatio – Episode Three
We Do Not Lick the Chicken, Horatio – Episode Two
If you’ve been reading lately, I mentioned there are some...interesting...sights on my normal route to Hastings. If you haven’t been reading lately, no judgement (ok, not much judgement) and here you go, if you’d like to get caught up: https://jessicasettergren.com/2021/01/21/this-is-not-what-i-meant-horatio-episode-one/. So, maybe a mile and a half after the Blair Witch for stuffed animals tree… Continue reading We Do Not Lick the Chicken, Horatio – Episode Two
Review: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is one of the most interesting immortality origin stories I've read in a very long time. If you hate book reviews and don't read any further, I'm giving my conclusion and recommendation right up front this time: go get this book. It'll mess with your mind and you'll think… Continue reading Review: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
Today Is World Cancer Day – Get Your Bits Checked
First, I accidentally wrote "bitch" instead of "bits" the first time, so that shows you where my head is at today. I almost left it that way. Second, this week a year ago I was in between the end of my Red Devil chemo treatments and the beginning of Taxol. If you have been around… Continue reading Today Is World Cancer Day – Get Your Bits Checked
Things I Never Thought I’d Say ’til I Had Pets – Part SeventyBillion
I don't have a real post today, so I've compiled a few choice things I've said out loud in the past week or two to various furry fools in my life. That sock isn't yours. Stop eating the innards. Minerva, whenever she can get a sock out of the laundry before I put them away.… Continue reading Things I Never Thought I’d Say ’til I Had Pets – Part SeventyBillion
Seriously…Don’t Do This
I hadn't gone though the spam comments on this blog in a month or so, and had some "I don't want to work NYAH" time this afternoon. There were 175 comments in the spam folder. Of them all but 4 were the exact same phrase, in Spanish, from different bots. I don't care muchly about… Continue reading Seriously…Don’t Do This
This is NOT What I Meant, Horatio: Episode One
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet, Act I, Scene V, 184-185, Shakespeare. The route I take out to Hastings, (the town in Minnesota, not the battle-of in Britain, just to be clear. Seems worth pointing out that I'm not a time traveler, and the… Continue reading This is NOT What I Meant, Horatio: Episode One
Book Review: The Witch Hunter by Max Seeck
The Witch Hunter by Max SeeckMy rating: 3 of 5 starsTW: Sexual Abuse/RapeThe premise, pacing, and atmosphere of this book were all excellent. I was hooked enough by the plot to read it in two days, so that's saying something.The twisty threads of the crime portion of this book were quite well done, but I… Continue reading Book Review: The Witch Hunter by Max Seeck
No Good Headline.
How do you come up with a pithy title for a post about a shitty anniversary? A year ago today was my first chemo treatment. My therapist says eventually I'll be able to look back and see the important dates as some sort of affirmation. This is not the year. I'm having a day, so… Continue reading No Good Headline.
