Meltdown Mondays: The Muggle-Struggle Edition

I will always say that if I had magic, my life would be much easier, hence the muggle struggle title for this week. I will admit that I did not come up with it (one of my good friends from college did), but I'm probably the only one still using it to describe my daily failings.haha I actually tend to either make up words or shorten already short words to make life "easier", when in fact everyone ends up being confused. I guess you need to get on my level to understand my "ness".

Surprisingly (or not), there is snow in the forecast Again for my area. Normally I am a snow lover and the past 3 years have been bereft of snow since the Snowmaggedon in 2010 (yes, the east coast of the US does tend to dramatize things like this), but constant storms every 2 or 3 weeks is getting exhausting. I am for sure ready for spring to start because it is way to cold.

I also started exercising again, which is difficult to maintain the motivation but I did all of this before (two years ago), so I know that I can do it again for myself. Every time I start running I think "oh, its not too bad" and then 1 minute later I'm dying. I figure that with time it'll get easier and my stamina will go up. The best thing about working out is that I get to catch up on my podcasts for the week, but that also means that sometimes I will bust out laughing at the gym (oh well).

 *update: I totally spent my entire workout listening to "Drunk in Love" and I loved every minute of it. Plus i was super motivated*

Anyway, I will be doing two new things for my blog. First, I will start attempting to cook recipes from fandom based books(like Star Wars, Game of Thrones, etc) and write up how the experience was and how everything tasted. I don't cook, so this will probably be as traumatic as I am thinking it will be. I feel like cookbooks are just another way to show that certain things have reached high peaks of popularity in the culture and that popularity works into things that you normally wouldn't expect (cookbooks, theme parks, etc) to become all-encompassing, so I will start that this weekend and hopefully not burn the house down. I figured it will be something fun and fresh to compliment the other pop culture things on the site. I already have the the game of thrones cookbook (A Feast of Ice and Fire) but I will also get Stars Wars and possibly others.

Also I reactivated my Loot Crate subscription, so I will also be doing un-boxings once a month as I receive them. In case you didn't know loot crate is a monthly subscription service where you receive themed geeky items. This past month's theme was Titan, so it had items revolving around the game Titanfall and also the show Attack on Titan.

So there will be those upcoming things to look forward to plus the usual daily content covering tv, movies, books, video games and news. Thanks for all of your support!
