Repertoire: What to Expect

As stated in Monday’s post, Thursdays will be about adding to my repertoire. So, this is just to let you guys know what to expect on these Repertoire Thursdays (or whatever I’ll call it). Art I create two types of art pieces: colored pencil drawings and the Just Vinyl comics. My colored pencil work is

August Bullet Journal & Reading

This month is my mother’s birthday month, so I wanted to go with a green theme. Because I have some green washi tape with Totoros, I decided to make August’s theme Studio Ghibli, specifically Hayao Miyazaki’s Ghibli work. My Neighbor Totoro is also her favorite Ghibli movie, so it worked out well. As usual, I

Book vs Movie: The DaVinci Code

When I first started reading the Robert Langdon series, I read it all out of order. I read The Lost Symbol (third book) first, then Angels and Demons (first book), and so on. But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore since the movies themselves came out of order. The DaVinci Code (second book) was the

July Bullet Journal

Don’t judge my theme; I have a perfectly reasonable explanation… So, for July, my theme is rainbow. Yes, I am fully aware that last month was Pride. But here’s why I chose rainbow as my theme for July: clearance. Because Pride stickers and material are cheaper at the end of the month (and I didn’t have

Book vs Movie: Beowulf

When I was in high school, either freshman or sophomore year, I had to read Beowulf. Don’t ask me why someone thought a bunch of 13-15 year olds could comprehend Old English on their own, but alas. Soon after reading it in school, the animated movie came out. So, let’s talk about them. When I

November (and October) Bookclub

I thought I did October, but looking back through my posts I guess I missed that. So, this month you get a two for one! (Honestly, good thing too. I read one thing in November…and it was a play). Let’s get into it: On the Road by Jack Kerouac *sigh* I didn’t get it. The

September Book Club

As predicted, I was only able to read three books, and just barely. Let’s get into it: the mermaid’s voice returns in this one by Amanda Lovelace I actually finished this on the very last day of August. Oh well. I really enjoyed the conclusion of the magic trilogy. We are all a kind of

August Book Club

I was on schedule!…until the very end. I’ll explain as I go. Let’s get into it: the witch doesn’t burn in this one by Amanda Lovelace So, I read the first book in the series last month. And for someone who doesn’t like poetry, I really loved Lovelace’s works. Of course I had to read

My History with Books

I read (and own) a lot of books. Recently, I held a little contest on my Instagram (@alexandrathetg) asking my followers if they could guess how many books I have in my personal library. The contest has since closed and the answer was 380. I say was because I have since bought a few more

July Book Club

I actually wrote August Book Club before correcting myself. Shows you how awesome my mental state is at the moment. I just hope I can remember what I actually read this month. The Road by Cormac McCarthy So, I finished this right on the first or second day. This was definitely a special kind of
