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
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
Shakespeare’s Globe Shakespeare’s Globe By Megan Cutler | February 1, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment I have always loved theatre, though I have no talent for it. I took one drama class in high school and it convinced me I’m better at writing stories than acting them out. But I still love to attend theatre productions. I also have a fondness for Shakespeare, so it goes without saying that visiting … Read More Read More
Blame the Internet Blame the Internet By Megan Cutler | January 25, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve read a staggering number of articles lately about how technology is destroying the world. Studies show that people are ‘addicted’ to connectivity, unable to disconnect and walk away. Studies also show that children who grow up with this technological addiction have a harder time empathizing with their fellow human beings. Rather than hailing the … 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. We were still members at the time it debuted but, alas, we were on the other side of the world. Lucky for us, the National Scottish Museum had unveiled … Read More Read More
A Fresh Page A Fresh Page By Megan Cutler | January 1, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Every writer both loves and loathes it; the blank page, the blinking cursor, that grand anticipation and terrible dread the moment before you start a brand new project. It’s how I think of the new year. A fresh page. A new project. A chance to leave behind anything that held me back. An opportunity to … Read More Read More
