Tyranny: When In the Course of Inhumane Events

By Lauryne Wright | July 4, 2025

I’ve lamented before about having already covered in my Other Worldly novels so much of the fiendish fascism happening in the USA during round one of this contemptible administration from 2016 to 2020, but this week in particular I was reminded of having written about it in my newspaper column when I lived in rural […]

An Extraterrestrial-Themed TV Episode…With Geography Gaff

By Lauryne Wright | June 28, 2025

While still trying to avoid reality as much as possible (because I have unfortunately kept informed of sordid and absurd happenings this week, especially involving the sickening SCOTUS six fascist fanatics), I stumbled upon yet another extraterrestrial-themed TV episode, this time in an old series (if old is more than 20 years ago). Unlike SCOTUS, […]

Dog Days Of Summer (and Famous Fiction Writers)

By Lauryne Wright | June 21, 2025

Happy Summer Solstice and here’s a picture of my precious pooch adjusting to his new adobe digs. To his credit, the current putrid humidity and plethora of mosquitoes don’t seem to bother him much. But the ear-piercing thunderstorm we had this week did rattle the sweet boy, which seemed unfair occurring the day after he […]

Altitude Adjusting While Eschewing Autocratic Assholes

By Lauryne Wright | June 14, 2025

I’m still having trouble adjusting to the altitude in my New Mexico location, hence working on my bedroom closet like I’d planned is a no-go. Not enough air circulation, and I’m better off sitting down. Last thing I need is to pass out onto my surely unforgiving classic Saltillo tile floors. My critters need me, […]

Greetings From the Land of Enchantment and Higher Elevation

By Lauryne Wright | June 7, 2025

While I’ve been otherwise occupied and sometimes overwhelmed getting settled into my New Mexico adobe abode, there’s been a lot going on nationally that can be equally overwhelming—partially because of uncanny connections to unnervingly nefarious bits of it. More on that in a moment. First, it’s been so long since I’ve posted on this blog […]

My House Smells Like Cardboard

By Lauryne Wright | April 29, 2025

My house smells like cardboard, I think my cat is building forts with my moving boxes while I sleep (when I sleep), and I only had one panic attack this week so far, which is the excuse I’m using for being late with this blog post. Selling one house and simultaneously buying another—in a different […]

A Place That Beckons

By Lauryne Wright | April 20, 2025

I spent most of yesterday away from home with my dog, Bodie, while an inspection took place for the sale of my house. It was apparently also National Cat Lady Day, so first a shout out to Morris, my curious and sometimes cantankerous orange tabby, who has handled all sorts of strangers coming into our […]

Perhaps I Sensed 20 Years Ago Where I Would Ultimately Land

By Lauryne Wright | April 12, 2025

In addition to the stock market crash and myriad other fiascos taking place in our current mess of a nation, it’s also been a real-estate-rollercoaster of a week in my personal abode, which I have been attempting to sell for weeks now. I had glimmers of hope these past two days, but now I’m in […]

Along the Extraterrestrial Highway: A Film Inexplicably Called Paul

By Lauryne Wright | April 4, 2025

My current fav snark circulating social media (other than the hilarious penguin stuff) is: Aliens are going to be super confused when they show up threatening to overthrow our leaders and we’re all stoked and offer to help. Ya think? Just about anything these days is better than watching the stock market, our democracy, and […]

Scammers of Authors and Billionaire Scumbags

By Lauryne Wright | March 28, 2025

As I head into the last weekend before another birthday, the third weekend of having my house on the market, and having just experienced yet another disappointment in terms of my out-of-state house search, I’m otherwise living the typical bizarre spring fluctuation that seems to happen in every region I’ve resided. That would be the […]
