Cartoons and Toys

I love the new Bunnicula cartoons so much. They make my Necromouser stories feel like retroactive fan fiction.


It’s so much harder to drag the three-year-old away from the toys at Barnes & Noble when I’m easily distracted by toys too…‬

If Only I Were a Crystal Gem…

The three-year-old while watching Steven Universe: “I love to be your kid, but I don’t have a gem to make magic. So I can’t hop into a bubble.”
