Taking a glass half empty approach, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands might initially look like nothing more than a Borderlands with pointy ears and references to dice, a viewpoint that even I flirted with in my preview of the game. Obviously, there needs to be a certain level of familiarity involved, otherwise, it may as well be an entirely new game, but if played too safe it can come across as pointless and derivative.

This book was in my pile of “books I bought that haven’t got the time to read yet” for years. It brought me important reminders along with inspiring stories and ideas. Starting 2019 with this book was the right thing to do. I didn’t find the motivation I usually had for everything I had been working my whole life for. I won’t get in-depth on this now, but somehow by the end of 2018 I didn’t really know how to even be myself anymore. My mental health became a very evident obstacle, and although I was never really alone, I often felt lonely and like anything I could do in life would just be pointless.

I take back what I said to Cami about Cinderella. The bodice gave just enough of a peak of her cleavage. She felt like she’d been wrapped in silk as the light-weight material touched her skin. She never dreamed she’d be wearing a dress this beautiful. Franc turned Tess so she could she herself in the mirror. Our second date actually if you count lunch today. Is this your first date? Or is it just business Franc teased with a wink. How silly of me? Parker sends models to me for special occasions. Now there’s a compliment or one damn-good sales person.
