I finally have a new computer to write my articles on! A fire ripped through the upper floor of my home, so I haven't been on in a few weeks. No, I haven't abandoned the platform, but life has been incredibly busy lately. Please be patient; I can start writing again very soon.

My House Partially Burned Down – Here’s What I’ve Learned You may have noticed that I’ve been away for about a month, or not, I mustn’t overestimate my own importance. Anyway, the reason was because my bedroom upstairs caught fire due to an ancient window fan.

Little Nightmares 1 & 2: A Must-Play This Halloween! Halloween is one of the best holidays, in my opinion. You may not get time off from work or school for it (and you really should!), but the color scheme is warm, inviting, and marks the change from summer to autumn. I start drinking more hot cocoa, start to notice the change in atmosphere as I sit around a campfire (here in northern Minnesota, it gets particularly cold during September and October), start wearing sweaters,…
