Unf*ck Your Habitat: You're Better than Your Mess by Rachel Hoffman

May 23, 2019 by faintingviolet 4 Comments

I’ve intended to read this book for some time. Down in the depths of my depression fellow Cannonballer Siege mentioned on Facebook one of Rachel Hoffman’s tips to Unf*ck Tomorrow Morning – put a little toilet cleaner in the bowl before bed. It was such a small thing, but cleaning my bathroom had become my Impossible Task and it helped get that under control that week and lift the cloud of depression just a little bit.  I knew instinctively that any author who would a) […]

Crimson Word Vomit

October 11, 2018 by Ale 8 Comments

For ease of reading, here are our handles’ abbreviations: crystalclear – CC faintingviolet – FV Ale – just Ale (you’re welcome)   CrystalClear: So, this is all my fault.  I decided to rent Crimson Peak for movie night, mainly to see Tom Hiddleston’s ass.  And while it was indeed a glorious sight, the rest of the movie was not worth it.  My memory is absolute shite, so here’s what I remember of the movie before delving into the book: We have the girl, who played […]
