4 Annoying Story Tropes I Want to Kill 4 Annoying Story Tropes I Want to Kill By Megan Cutler | April 18, 2016 | Comments 4 comments Our favorite pastimes are full of tropes and cliches. It’s inevitable. Stories fall into predicable patterns. Not all tropes are bad, but it takes skill to make them feel original. And since I’m a romantic sap at heart, there are plenty of tropes I’ll willingly follow. But there are a few that aren’t just eye-rolling, … Read More Read More

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 1 comment I sometimes play an MMO (I won’t say which one, but it isn’t WoW).

Our first stop was, … Read More Read More
Saying Farewell Saying Farewell By Megan Cutler | February 22, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment The British Museum is huge. You’d probably have to live in London to see the whole thing. Even then, I wonder if anyone ever feels like they saw everything the museum has to offer. We were members for just shy a year and we tried to see as much as we could in the time … Read More Read More
One Last Special Exhibit One Last Special Exhibit By Megan Cutler | January 11, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment By the time we returned to Edinburgh for our last hurrah, we knew we were going to miss the Ming Dynasty exhibit at the British Museum.
