***Insert obligatory comment about delayed update here*** So life has been typically and upsettingly busy.  When I stop to think about it, time is going slow, but then I look back and realize the weeks have slipped by quicker than I could count. What, is it already March?  I still feel like we’re in January. […]

I said to myself, “The next post I write will be from my new desk in my new apartment.  That way I will show everyone what I have accomplished!” Ha Ha Ha. Words are delicious.  I’ve gotten used to eating them. I just moved in a few weeeks ago, and having an apartment is great!  But […]

Okay, okay…I’m pretty embarrassed.

The flight over was pretty amazing.  The lady at the the airport counter asked if I was moving after noticing the two seriously overweight bags to check in and the one-way ticket status, and asked about seating.  I asked for a window seat, and she was happy […]

As some of you may know,  I have decided to quit my job at the illustrious Obsidian Entertainment, and move to Taiwan to pursue my dream of a nomadic lifestyle. You might ask, Millie, why the hell would you move across the earth?  What do you think you’re doing?  Are you a failure in California, […]

As can be seen, this website is really empty and need a lot of work.  I’d like to think that you would check back every so often to see how it’s coming along, but I doubt that you have time to do that.  Even if you did, that time better spent doing things, like hiking […]
