LogPoes Will Get It
I wanted to put this in the comments of one of LogPoes‘ recent posts. I couldn’t, so I’m putting it here.
Apologies to the offended. I think words are only as powerful as the power we give them, but I also don’t want to run around pissing my readers off. I want you to come back.

Happy Mail!
Technically this mail came last week, but I like starting the year with happiness. And mail makes me very happy.
I traded with Nichole for more issues of the Pieces series I love so much, and she sent a couple extras as well.
A little touch of gold on the envelope goes a long way. 🙂

Wishes for You This New Year
At the time I’m starting to write this, there’s about seven and a half hours before 2016 crashes over my timezone like the inevitable wave that it is. I like New Year’s. I feel like it’s a real holiday where we celebrate because we’re happy to be alive – and happy to have a fresh start. (Be it possibly only a psychological one.)
A lot about tonight and the coming days will focus on all the things that people want to accomplish in the coming year. I think that’s beautiful. I have a few goals myself, including more time spent here on this blog doing things I love.
But I want to do something a smidge different for my New Year’s Wishes here on SGZ. I have some wishes for you in your new year.
- I wish for you to never feel like you are alone in this world.
- I wish for you to find joy in the little things.
- I wish for you to find the strength to ask for help when you need it…
- …and to have the strength to give it when you can.
- I wish for you to always have a place where you feel safe.
- I wish for your friendships – whether many or few – to have great meaning and love.
- I wish for you to remember that it’s okay. To be. To feel. To want. To love. To dislike. It’s okay.
- I wish for you to have great, wonderful happy moments.
- But more than that, I wish for you to find contentment and peace in your Self.
Happy New Year, beautiful people.
Happiest of Holidays to You
I Think This Calls For an Ice Cream
For my friends who don’t “do the celcius”, that’s:
Monday: (We’ll let you know if we’ve survived)
Sunday: 98.6 (aka My Outsides Should Not Be As Hot As My Insides)
Saturday: 107.42 (aka I Don’t… I Can’t… What…)
Friday: 103.64 (It’s So Hot, But I’m Crying Because I Know What’s Coming On Saturday)
Thursday: 96.62 (This Is How We Preheat The Oven…)
So that happened. I’m going to publish this and then literally go get myself an ice cream.
Survival celebrations.
Zine Review: Shakespeare’s Lovers: Macbeth

Oh, dear zine. The very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly to your service. Hehehe.
Okay, so I’m apparently part moth because I like shiny things. When you’re facing a wall of zines at Sticky Institute, you’re probably going to be attracted to the shiny orange zine you see. At least, that’s how it went for me. The colour, the shine, and the texture that comes from a handwritten title (lurve) equals a sale from me.
Shakespeare’s Lovers: Macbeth is about exactly what the title says. A cliff notes type synopsis of the play follows a brief introduction. It goes further to talk about Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in their individual roles as well as how they fumctioned as a couple.
The zine maker’s writing voice in this is absolutely perfect. I dove right in and read it all the way through in one go. It’s one of those zines that made me feel like I needed to have the whole set in my hot little hands even though I’m not sure if there is a ‘set’ in existence yet.
Read it. Love it.
