Hooked On The Hood in 5 Easy Steps

Please note: Teeny tiny spoilers for Arrow (through 2×13) available throughout the article. Also, I claim no ownership on any of the photos and/or names mentioned. Linking fest mostly delivers YouTube and IMDB entries. Arrow has been one of the biggest surprises tv has offered me in the past year or two, and I can’t […]
Mystery Trip Lessons – Trieste, Italy

Last weekend’s mystery trip I planned for my co-alpha went better than expected, although there have been some unpredicted consequences. I’ll list them here, just as a short sketch and as a reminder of things to focus on for next year. In total, I’d say it was a huge success, but it might have gone […]
The Wolf on Steampunk

A lot has already been said on steampunk, and some of it quite eloquently. I wish not to invent hot water in a boiler tank (a Croatian proverb I find more than appropriate when it comes to this subject), but merely to add my own view. It’s been nearly three years since I’ve first stumbled […]
Spontaneous Librarian Combustion and Other Sci-Fi Recommendations

There’s this thing we call the “information interview” at the library, focused on finding the right book for your customer. It goes something like this – what are you looking for, what do you need it for, in-the-house or takeout, etc. And then there’s the “recommend a book to me” type of customer. And, believe […]
Hop in, Stay in – Skirtliving for Beginners

I tend to be different. Nothing new there, nothing unique. But one of the things that make me different has come along almost inconspicuously in the recent years, and it wasn’t until I was already head over heels into it that I discovered it had become a part of my current true nature. And that […]
People-Eating Libraries And The Value of Camaraderie

When I first came to work as a librarian in one of the biggest (or, definitely, most frequented) library branches in the country (not kidding. not in the least.) I was warned by several people, in advance, that the department “eats people”. (I took it as “devours”, but maybe that’s just me.) It’s a shithole. […]
The Fine Art of Deathglaring (And Other Things You Learn Riding the Highway)

Before I star posting my weekend packing lists (yeah, packing is a hobby), let me introduce you to my weekly schedule. Firstly, I’ve got two homes (at the moment). There’s the ordinary weekdays one – the one located in my hometown, where I work – and then there the other one, my home home, with […]
Never stand between a larper and her coffee (or she’ll boffer you to oblivion)

I really, really appreciate coffee. Still not of the addict variety (though not far from that), I like espresso (or mocca coffee), the kind you make in a two-part metal miracle maker at home, in your friendly kitchen. I have a friend who occasionally stops by for coffee, and I just have to make sure […]
Full Moon Special #1 – How to plan a mystery trip for your pack

Dating a person who really, really likes nice surprises has taught me one thing – you can never plan enough mystery trips. (Although I have yet to prove that the success of the first one wasn’t an accident, and even though I have yet to plan a trip for more than two.) At the moment, […]
A Very Wolf Wedding

Last week I found the (almost) perfect wedding dress. Not an easy task for a lesbian. It presented itself to me in a local store, trashy as thrash can be, and of course there’s no way to find it online to share. Since I’m just myself, no affiliates whatsoever, there’s really no need to find […]
