I guess the logic here is listening to something that pumps you up so you get motivated to do stuff? We’ll go with that.
Super bob: “Capital D”
just for fun
Browsing Pinterest For Cool Sights – Destination Two: Caerphilly Castle (Wales)
Or, more accurately, the dragons that don the shoreline of one of the surrounding artificial lakes.
Location: Caerphilly, Wales, United Kingdom
The castle was constructed by Gilbert de Clare in the 13th century and is an amazing sight in its own right…
But what caught my attention on Pinterest were the dragons. They started with one that breathes smoke.
A second dragon was added, along with a nest holding eggs. Then, two babies “hatched,” and they are adorable.
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 5 – A Song That Reminds You of High School

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 4 – A Song That You’re Really Feeling Right Now
Mac Saturn: “Mr. Cadillac”
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 3 – A Song That Reminds You of Someone You Love
I’m gonna do three on this one…because I can.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: “Gimme Back My Bullets” (for my dad)
Avenged Sevenfold: “Chapter Four” (for my brother)
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 2 – A Song With a Color in the Title
Blutengel: “Black”
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 1 – A Song That You Play on Repeat
Well, this is an easy one.
Alter Bridge: “Blackbird”
(I’m just gonna tell y’all now: I could probably choose an Alter Bridge song for all 30 days. Lol. I won’t, though.)
Four Months of Challenges
I am about to embark on a 30 day challenge. Actually, I’m doing one each month from December to March. I figure this is a good way to ensure I have something to post every day even when I’m struggling for inspiration. The four I found are:
- 30 Day Song Challenge
- 30 Day Film Challenge
- 30 Day Horror Movie Challenge
- 30 Day Book Challenge
Feel free to do these along with me, either on your own blog or in my comments! I would enjoy the company 🙂
Seeing as music is my main focus here, I’m going to start with the 30 Day Song Challenge. Tomorrow will be day one, so get ready!
Browsing Pinterest For Cool Sights – Destination One: The Hill of Crosses (Lithuania)
Location: Jurgaičiai, Lithuania, north of the city of Šiauliai
This is a site of Catholic pilgrimage. You can learn more on Wikipedia if you’re interested.
Just looking at the pictures, I find this place to be eerily beautiful. Check it out for yourself.
Update to My 2022 Goodreads Challenge (11/5/22)
I finished Danielle Vega’s Survive the Night and Natasha Preston’s The Fear. Both were readable books, yet I was disappointed with the stories overall.
On the bright side, I stumbled upon Small Spaces by Katherine Arden thanks to an Instagram post and I loved it! Yes, it is considered a kids’ book, but y’all, the creepy factor was real. I will certainly be reading the rest of that particular series from Arden.
My mom brought me Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Robert. That was a disaster. If you don’t mind books with more smut than plot, this one should be right up your alley. Lol. I myself didn’t enjoy it.
And I know it seems horribly after the fact, but I just read The Maze Runner. I was unexpectedly impressed with the movie, and I tend to think the novels are always superior to the films, so of course I had to check it out. I couldn’t put it down. Another series I will have to follow through on.
My current reads are as follows:
Daylighters (Rachel Caine)
The Snakes (Sadie Jones)
This one was actually sent to me via a “blind date with a book” order from Etsy.
Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke – and Other Misfortunes (Eric LaRocca)
Once I finish these three, I will have completed my reading challenge for 2022!!!!!
