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
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
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
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. 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
Both Geek and Girl Both Geek and Girl By Megan Cutler | November 30, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment These days, women have to fight to defend their position in the ‘geek sphere.’ Women are either quizzed or ridiculed the moment they express an interest in something. Women are accused of being ‘fake geeks'(for what reason I can’t imagine). And there are endless discussions on the portrayal of female characters in movies, games and … Read More Read More
Persistent Creativity Persistent Creativity By Megan Cutler | November 9, 2015 | Comments 2 comments In high school, my friends and I loved Sailor Moon. It was in the midst of revived popularity, largely because the end of season two had finally arrived in America, followed by seasons three and four. Sailor Moon was, in many ways, my gateway to writing. It’s one of those worlds that inspired many writers … Read More Read More
Ye Olde York Ye Olde York By Megan Cutler | October 26, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment Our first experience with York in England was a both lacklustre and whirlwind. We stopped briefly on our way to Edinburgh on a family road trip. We only had time to catch lunch and visit the Jorvik Viking Centre before we hit the road again. My husband and I both agreed we wanted to see … Read More Read More
