It’s Crunch Time! It’s Crunch Time! By Megan Cutler | May 30, 2016 | Comments 1 comment Believe it or not, I haven’t taken a break from blogging all year. (What?!) But summer is approaching and, now that we live in beautiful British Columbia, that means everyone wants to come and visit us. (Or our awesome mountains, lakes and weather. Same thing, right?) That means I have to make the last big … Read More Read More
The Book of Souls – Iron Maiden World Tour The Book of Souls – Iron Maiden World Tour By Megan Cutler | May 23, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment My husband (boyfriend at the time) introduced me to Iron Maiden my senior year in high school. They were a gateway band for me, opening my eyes to an entire world of heavy metal. Then, and now, I was astounded by every aspect of Iron Maiden’s music, from the three-dimensional feel to their instrumentals to … Read More Read More
Introducing Zita, an Old Fanfic Character Introducing Zita, an Old Fanfic Character By Megan Cutler | May 9, 2016 | Comments 1 comment Confession time! I may have mentioned this before, but the first stories I ever wrote were Sailor Moon fanfiction. I’m not even ashamed, because Sailor Moon is awesome. Fanfiction is great because it gives you a chance to learn the writing ropes without having to build the foundation yourself. Certain series lend themselves extremely well … Read More Read More
Opening a New and Exciting Life Chapter Opening a New and Exciting Life Chapter By Megan Cutler | May 2, 2016 | Comments 3 comments Moving across an ocean is hard. It’s slightly easier when you know people waiting for you on the other side, but that doesn’t make it any less challenging. When we left for England, we had no idea what to expect. We didn’t really know anyone on the other side of the pond, and we expected … Read More Read More
I Broke the Tardis – a Doctor Who Experience I Broke the Tardis – a Doctor Who Experience By Megan Cutler | April 11, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment If you’ve ever wanted Doctor Who to seep into your every day life, Cardiff is the place to go. Probably because the show is filmed there, so it’s a huge part of the city’s culture. No where else in the UK did we find as many references and memorabilia for the show (just that one … Read More Read More
What Gamers Want is a Rewarding Experience What Gamers Want is a Rewarding Experience By Megan Cutler | April 4, 2016 | Comments 2 comments I sometimes play an MMO (I won’t say which one, but it isn’t WoW). Lately, I’ve lost my love for it. I stopped playing for several months and have only recently restarted, though I know it’s only going to break my heart again. There are a lot of things I love about this game; the … Read More Read More
Coming Soon – Sea of Twisted Souls Coming Soon – Sea of Twisted Souls By Megan Cutler | March 21, 2016 | Comments 1 comment On April 10th, my husband and I will be attending an Iron Maiden concert. (What!) It’s the first time we’ve bought big tickets for ourselves. Technically it’s to make up for all the anniversaries we’ve missed while moving (even though it’s nowhere near our anniversary), but for me it feels like the reward for something … Read More Read More
Cardiff Castle; an Interesting Journey Through Time Cardiff Castle; an Interesting Journey Through Time By Megan Cutler | March 14, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Our final trip in the UK was to Cardiff, because we simply couldn’t leave without seeing Wales. There are lots of amazing castles and landscapes in Wales that, sadly, we weren’t able to visit due to our transportation limits. But we did see many interesting things during our trip to Cardiff. Our first stop was, … Read More Read More
People Buy Houses for Weird Reasons People Buy Houses for Weird Reasons By Megan Cutler | March 7, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment On Christmas vacation we watched a lot of HGTV. My mother-in-law is particularly fond of shows like House Hunters, where couples are presented with three houses that suit their purchasing desires and choose which they want to buy. Presumably they look at more houses off camera, but that’s the scope of the show. Personally, I … Read More Read More
Rose; An Introduction Rose; An Introduction By Megan Cutler | February 29, 2016 | Comments 11 comments A long time ago, I had an idea. It wasn’t a very good idea, but it was one of my first so I’m quite fond of it. The idea revolved around a princess whose family and planet were caught up in a terrible war they didn’t know how to fight. So the princess ran away … Read More Read More
