2020 "Resolutions"

-


Hello Everybody! WhaleSnark here.
It's been a while, but I'm trying to start the new year by writing something.
We all want to start fresh when a new year begins, so that's what I'm focusing on.


Here are the things I am going to strive to do this year.

I finally started reading Year of Wonder by Clemency Burton-Hill

There is a piece of music for every day of the year, and an entry for each song. So far, I really like it!I meant to start this book in 2019, but alas, it was not to be.

My second goal is to clean up my dishes immediately after cooking or baking. I have struggled with this for a long time because who wants to clean up after themselves RIGHT AFTER they are done with the meal? Not me. Gotta try anyway.

I want to say I'm sorry less, as a response. As a woman, it is so ingrained in me to say I'm sorry when I am not. I say it to everybody, about so many things, and it's just not right. I am going to strive to be more aware of my responses to others, and stop saying sorry for just any old thing. 

One more thing I am going to work on this year is eating well. I have been really bogging myself down with sugary and not-very-nourishing food. I am going to focus more on making food that is both healthy and delicious! I think this will be hard, but I plan to give it my best, and eat lots of Indian, Thai, and fiber-rich food, cuz a lot of that is plant-based, and flavorful.

Well, that's all I got. What are your goals, if any, for 2020?

(Cracked) Book Review: Barbarian's Mate by Ruby Dixon

Y'all ready for this?  I first heard about this rather ludicrous series at the "Bananas Books" panel hosted by Sarah MacLean and Sophie Jordan at this year's KissCon (which just wrapped in Chicago two weeks ago and guys, it was amazing, I'll tell you about it later.) One of the series someone brought up was the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon. I'd never heard of it before. Frankly, the covers are amaze-bad. (See: lady about to give a giant blue man a blowjob.) The basic premise of the series is this: A bunch of (gorgeous, thin, supermodel-esque) women all get abducted by aliens (???) and somehow (I don't know, I only read book 7) end up on this Hoth-like ice planet that is also inhabited by a race of caveman-like blue humanoid aliens who also have giant devil horns, and basically look like steroid-ridden cave men with giant blue dicks. Bananas, right? It gets better. In order to survive on the planet, everyone has to have a "khui...

WhaleSnark Recommends....Music in French

-

Do you enjoy music? Right, yeah, that's a broad question...hmmm... Do you like French electro and pretty music?!?! Yeah? Okay! Have some recommendations from me, a well-versed-in-French-music whale shark. First, oh my goodness, Stromae, my absolute favourite French-speaking artist ever (besides Daft Punk, let's be real). Stromae is Belgian. He's an androgynous genius. He writes music that is just OH GOOD GOODNESS. So good. He's only released one song in the last five years, BUT in 2013 he released 'Racine Carrée', which is a highly enjoyable album. His other older album 'Cheese' is also super cool! I am a huge fan of synth and smooth voice, which Stromae has. He's pretty great.        OK, I listen to a lot of French music. I love the language. It has hidden syllables everywhere. You never know how they spell things and even when you do, you just kind of go, "welp, I bet that's a silent vowel", and you would be very correct mos...

Review: Pandamonia by Chris Owen and Chris Nixon

  Pandamonia by Chris Owen and Chris Nixon Summary:  When visiting the zoo, whatever you do, DON’T WAKE THE PANDA! Join in the fantastic fun as one grumpy panda sets off a frenzy of wild partying. Review: WhaleSnark here!  What caused me to pick this book up in the first place was the colors on the cover. You just cannot go wrong with greens, yellows, and blues for catching a reader's eye! This is a picture book, but it has some absolutely intense and hilarious rhyming and tongue-twisters in it! Here's a sample:  "The chimps chit-chatter. The ducks start quacking. The jabirus jabber  and yaks start yakking So waking the panda might spark off a riot, and that's why we like to keep things nice and quiet." There are some animals in this book that I had not even heard of before I read it, and I'm REALLY into knowing all about animals!  The art is vibrant and very pleasing to look at. It features wood block prints of animals th...
