Art Experience Log: Mrs. Santa Claus

Hero U: Rogue to Redemption — OK, let’s talk about me and my ADHD and video games for a second. Games that have both the type of gameplay and the type of story/setup that can hold my attention sufficiently that I’m actually willing to play them...

Black Panther — Still pretty upset with myself for not taking notes. I believed I might manage to see this movie again before I got around to writing up my thoughts on it, and then I’d be able to give a more coherent impression of my experience, but guess...

Aight, here’s the second instance of doing this on a schedule. I feel it working already!!! I’m not anywhere close to caught up yet, and again I have a bunch of items from before with no notes that I just have to remember my experience with, but I still...

OK, maybe if I do these every other Saturday, opposite my TWIP’s, it’ll work better? I’ll try it. Kindred by Octavia Butler — I don’t know exactly what to say about this book. It was a fascinating read and I loved it, but it’s been...

12 days ’til I turn 37! The Candle in the Wind by T.H. White — If the previous installment was the fanfiction leadup to the inevitable, this one is the leisurely, meaty examination of that inevitable. It’s ridiculously sad, and a brilliant dramatic...

Dreaming Spies by Laurie R. King — This was quite a good installment of Russ, but before I make any comments on its contents I have to get this out of the way: Jenny Sterlin’s attempts at pronouncing Japanese OH MY FUCKING POE. Her “Canadian...

Steven Universe episodes — HOLY SHIT, you guys. Rose might not have done it after all??? I am so overcome by this, a possibility that had never occurred to me, that I’m not sure I can comment on anything else in this set of episodes. I mean, meeting the...

Steven Universe episodes — I watched these episodes around when they came out, but then I put off writing up my thoughts about them for so long I forgot what they were about XD Finally I got brother caught up, and thereby rewatched them myself, so here are...

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them again — It took a few weeks after this came out to get mom to watch it, but at least she finally did. She liked it pretty well, and had several of the same issues with it that I did. Interestingly, I actually enjoyed this...

Middlemarch by George Eliot — I’m tempted to start this in the same way I started my second set of Pale Fire thoughts THERE JUST AREN’T WORDS FOR HOW AMAZING THIS BOOK IS. It interests me the extent to which Eliot points out ironies in the way men...

Miracle on 34th Street (1947) — It’s been a tradition in my family for maaaaany years to watch this one on Thanksgiving, because the movie starts on Thanksgiving and goes on to Christmas, making it a perfect way to usher in the Christmas season. And...

Jem and the Holograms #19 — Somehow I have quite a few thoughts about this issue; we’ll see if I can remember them all. To start out with, I’m not sure how I feel about the new art. I can’t say I dislike it, and I do think it fits with the tone...

So it’s kinda sad… I’m very glad I started doing these logs, because I feel like my experiences with these works of art are enriched by the process of writing my thoughts down (disorganized as those thoughts may be); and, for as few logs as...

The Casual Vacancy — Just like the first time, the end of this book left me stunned and deep in thought. It’s so damn painful, and I love it so damn much. I’ve been trying to come up with a good old statement of theme for it, but maybe I’ve...
