Happy Wolf Moon 2022! More pics below.
Even though I’ve read some Moon Knight, I’m still confused.
And while we’re at it, what’s up with The Eternals?
We might as welll stick to a comics theme - I just read the first two books of Lore Olympus. They were really cute! The entire thing is available free online!
One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.
I have been interested in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green since learning the premise which sounded quite unique. I picked it up from a online used bookshop.
When April May finds a huge and surprising statue on her way home one early New York morning, her first thought is to call her friend and perform a skit with it for social media. She’s intrigued and delighted by being able to interact with this unexpected piece of art. The next morning, she discovers that these “statues” have appeared in hundreds of cities, all over the world, in the middle of the night, completely unexplained. And she got the first footage.
This is a decidedly soft sci if new adult novel: much more fiction than science, certainly. It looks at the effects a global event would have on the world, but mostly how humanity would put it on social media. And while there is commentary of how we connect, share or distort ourselves on those platforms, the main theme is that fame can corrupt. April May is a decidedly unlikeable character, reading much younger than she is, making bad and often harmful or hurtful decisions, that effect all those around her and the entire human race. He greed for noteriety and reward could be an interesting conversation, but mostly this book doesn’t frame her story in that way. Her sexuality is shoehorned into the story and again, could be interesting commentary on how bisexuality is not looked as a ligitmately queer category. Unfortunately it feels like an after thought and beyond that statement isn’t discussed on any real level. There were some interesting sci fi ideas in this book and the “statues” themselves are a very intriguing idea. There are dream puzzles and hidden informations as well as giant robots, but no ideas are well fleshed out, and all feel very unbelievable or intangible. Obviously we must suspend our disbelief often in sci if and fantasy, but this is easy to do if the world that is established is captivating. April May’s world, unfortunately fell very flat. Although there were some aspects of this book I did enjoy, or would like to see more deeply dissected, I didn’t like the contemporary and modern writing style or how it felt very targeted at a young audience. And perhaps that that is just bc I’m not that target audience. I do plan on reading the sequel and finale to the duology. I would recommend this to those who like books about social media or celebrity, readers who like unlikeable characters, people who don’t read a lot of sci fi but want to break into the genre, or readers who like puzzles as plot devices.
What is your favorite duology?
This book can be seen in my June Wrap Up.
In 2016, I started looking back and seeing what posts I used regularly and making a list. Every year, I look back for my own memory, mostly, but you may want to take a look back, too! I’m late to this article this year, but I think this year it’s especially important to log this info.
Why is that you may ask? Well in 2021, I pretty much didn’t post on my blog. If we looked back and did the calculations (I have not actually done that), I would have posted less blogs posted than in most of the past years. If these are my regular series, but I haven’t posted many of them this year, do they still count? How do we look at what series I stuck with despite being scarcely here? Which count and which don’t?
Below is a list of everything that I would consider a regular series. I’ve starred the ones that were more relevant or more often posted in 2021.
There are several series that are more usually updated, at least monthly and/or weekly:
Month in Review - A review of each month and my favorite instagrams for that month. *
Monthly Plant Update - A review of all the plants I've observed for each month. *
Mad Cat Garden - We started our garden a few years ago, but it’s become a great blog feature.
On My Mind On Friday Morning - A few things I've noticed around the internet, and life, recorded on Friday morning. *
Book Reviews - What I've been reading.*
Weekly Video Round Ups - Here I put the collection of videos from my BookTube each week. *
6 More Months of Zero Waste - In this series of posts we tackle moving to a more zero waste lifestyle. We will be taking a break (kinda) on this series up for at least the first six months of 2021.
Bullet Journal - I've been keeping a BuJo for several years now, and I like to check in about once a month.
Mad Cat Capsule - In 2017, I started keeping a capsule wardrobe, follow my progress here.
Zero Waste - 2017 also marked the start of my zero waste, plastic free journey. I post thoughts, ideas, recipes, and goals.
Something Nice - Don't you love it when nice stuff happens?
Something New - Something new I've learned or done.
.Tattoo Story - To remember my tattoos and why I got them, I record it here.
Recipes - I want to include more recipes, specifically zero waste recipes, here.
Definitions - Some terms that I and other bloggers use but might be new to you. Here’s where you can learn more about all the things we talk about on MCQ.
Product Review - This is where I record reviews of products I have tried.
Monthly Goals - I have been trying to achieve several monthly goals so taht they can eventually become regular habits.
Pandemic Pantry - Originally started to showcase how to use up items druing the worst of lock down, I have taken aspects of this practice into daily life.
Homeschooling - In 2020, I started recording my homeschooling history. I would like to expand this series more in 2021.
Tattoo Story - The stories of my tattoos.
Joy of Using Up - This has been an off and on series, but I find myself gravitating to it more and more.
A Week of Books - Here I post even more book reviews to catch up and keep on track!
Sewing/Quilting - I would really like to bring back weekly sewing posts, but so far I’ve made it about one monthly.
Shelfie - Just pics of my home. (this one is an old series, but something I would like to bring back monthly).
There have been quite a few series that have fallen by the wayside, some I would like to bring back, others that might be gone forever.
Art and Nature... - Art and nature go together. I like to write about it here.
Zoo at Home, Zoo Abroad - We love to visit animals, zoos, aquariums, etc... when we can.
Travel - One of my long standing goals is to document my travels.
Life Admin Day - This is where we check in on some admin goals we need to achieve, then see if we do achieve them.
Off Season - Notes on places I've seen, been, or explored and why I like them better in the off season.
What I Eat in a Day - I love to eat, love to know what people are eating, love to share!
Habit Shift - Here I talk about the habits I love and those I want to make
So we can see that really only a few of these actually made in to be reoccuring series this year. And scrolling back through a year of posts, it’s easy to see what some of the issues, distractions and priorities were were. My booktube definitely was part of the reason the blog was not as loved in 2021. But also, I’ve been having lots of difficulties with the squarespace interface almost all year. Those issues not only derailed my being able to actually post, but frustrated me to the point that blogging become unpleasant and upsetting. Although those issues and frustrations haven’t ceased, I have developed some workarounds that have made posting a little easier.
It’s always nice to look back, see what series and posts make a regular scheduled programing on the blog and to reflect on what I love to post. Of course that makes me think of the year ahead and what posts will be like going forward.
Do you have a series on Mad Cat Quits that you enjoy? One that you missed in the year of 2021? One that you would like to see added? All feedback is welcome!
One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.
My friend Noah was getting rid of some books before they moved and I spotted Carrie Brownstein’s memoir, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl.
Carrie Brownstein is one of the forerunners and creators of the post punk girl band Sleater Kinney. She is an actress and comedian also well known for Portlandia. In Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl she shares moments of her childhood, creating her dream band, her thoughts on growing up queer and her struggles with anxiety and mental health.
I was never a huge fan of Sleater Kinney, but I was indrotuced to them by an ex who was. Much like my favorite post punk band, Sleater Kinney contained an introverted but luminescent member who people of a certain ilk were drawn to. In Sleater Kinney that was Carrie Brownstien. Lovely, queer, quiet but Carrie wrote my favorite song from the group. She titled this memoir after that song. I was very interested in learning more about her relationshio to the band, growing up in Olympia Washington, and growing up queer. And while this memoir does relate many of those things, as well as her relationship with her mother who suffered from a severe eating disorder, her father coming out as gay later in life, and her struggle with mental health and anxiety, this book is mostly about her time and experiences with Sleater Kinney. This memoir is weirdly impersonnal, holding the reader at arm’s length at all times. How Brownstien felt about many of the elements in her life is told in a clinical or separated way, and one never feels like you know the whole story, even from her perspective. She is holding back from connecting with the audience and with telling her truth. I enjoyed this book, but it left me not much more educated about it’s subject than I was before reading it. I would recommend this book to readers who like band memoirs, especially those who like to hear about each album of a band and how they were conceived, or fans of the band Sleater Kinney. I would not suggest this book for those who like in depth memoirs, or fans of Portlandia.
What is your favorite book about a band? Or what is your favorite memoir?
This book can be seen in my June Wrap Up.

One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.
For most of 2021, I thought The Nickel Boys would be my favorite read of the year. I read so many amazing books but it still made my top ten.
Elwood Curtis’ life is changed forever when he is sent to The Nickel Academy, a reform school for boys in 1960s Florida.
* editor’s note: This book is reviewed out of order. Usually I post books in order that I read them. This is one of my favorite books of the year, but I struggled to review it and so it is later in my reviews and out of order.
Based on true places and events, this was a beautiful and heartbreaking book. It was a short novel but definitely is well defined and well paced. It was also a brutal tale of racism, prejudice and hope in the heart of the civil rights movement. Made more sad and poignant bc we know many of these true stories exist, this fictional account really emotionally involved the reader. I loved that the story unfolded in a way that kept me guessing, and broke my heart but was also ultimately uplifting. I cried at the end of this book, for the characters but also that we live in a world where reform school existed and still exist. I read this only weeks before hearing of the bodies uncovered in Canadian reform schools where indigenous children were imprisoned, tortured and killed. And to know that those injustices still run rampant, it’s defintatly a tough read. I would highly recommend this book tho, if you, as a reader, can handle the difficult subject matter. The writing is compelling and characters endearing. I think this is a good book for those who know some of this true history and are looking to hear fictional stories of that time, or those who want to learn more but aren’t ready to start with the more graphic true accounts. I would recommend The Nickel Boys to readers who like historical fiction set during the civil rights movement, or people who like southern American tales.
This book is featured in my March Wrap Up.
I always really like to get my best nine on instagram each year. I’ve been doing it for the last 6 years. Ever since we moved to Asbury Park. This year I couldn’t get the bestnine website to work. I tried multiple times starting in december to get them to generate my grid. And it just wouldn’t do it. Luckily, 2021 was not a banner year for me and insta. Or unluckily. Either way, I sat down the other day, looked at every insta post I did and found my most viewed nine posts. And made my own grid.
2021
This grid has some interesting aspects but most notable is that this is the first grid with no cats.
In 2022, I hope to post more on instagram again. As of today, I haven’t actually posted at all this year, yet. But I have been taking photos every day. I’m trying to figure out a way to post on insta without actually going on insta. One idea I’m working on is a 365 photo project. Another is getting a insta feeding app so that I can schedule my posts but not actually be on the insta app.
Although I love insta in many ways, I find that is can be depressing to see certain real world events unfold there, and it’s a giant time suck when I get stuck in endless scrolling.
I’ll be excited to see what 2022 brings in pictures.

2021 was not the best year for completing my goals or for this blog. Those things are probably connnected, but perhaps not how you might think.
I’ve had this blog for many years and one of the reasons that I created it and keep it is that it is one of my greatest accountability partners. When I plan out goals here, and am able to refer back to them in this space, it helps me keep up with them in real life. If I have to check back in each month to keep updating, all the better.
The last few years have not really gone how anyone expected, but that wasn’t the only reason I’ve had trouble keeping up with this blog. Since starting my BookTube channel in Oct of 2020, I have devoted more and more time to that and had less time to invest in this space. I think I can find a balance there, and I hope to in 2022.
Another reason I have taken time away from this blog that directly ties in with my goal setting is that between 2020 and 2021 I experienced a long stretch of productivity burnout. It’s not that I was not productive during that time. I certainly was where my channel was concerned. But I was burnt out on the idea of always being productive, of goal setting, of measuring accompaniments in that way and constantly keeping up and keeping track. I really love goal setting and productivity techniques as a way to keep track and measure ones accomplishments, and intentions for the most part. But if it’s dragging one down, discouraging one, or simply not serving one, I know when it’s time to take a break.
That break for me, mostly included this work space as well as instagram and a few other areas. Some things that didn’t waver were my bullet journal, and of course, BookTube.
So why am I telling you all this here, in a post about 2021 goals? Mostly bc I haven’t looked at these goals in months, perhaps a year, and I wanted to record for you and for myself why that was. Usually I will check these goals often over the year, check in with you around mid year to adjust, see what needs to be tweaked or changed, then finish out my over all thoughts in this yearly post. This year I can’t even remember if I did a mid year check in. I could go back and look, but why bother?
Although, I firmly believe that one can start any goal at any time, I really love to check in in the beginning of, the middle, and the end of the year.
And here we are again at the start of the year! A perfect time to check on last year’s goals. Let us see what they were and how I did. Considering I haven’t checked, I’m very interested to see of there was progress made.
Creation Over Consumption
In 2020 I think my consumption has really changed but the other day I had a realization about how much I’m still consuming. Like suddenly I realized that watching youtube is just watching TV. This might seem like a no brainer, but I always thought of yourtube as teaching me something and therefore not mindless like TV. I also realized basically the same thing about reading. Now, obviously there are levels of consumption, from mindless to imporatnt. And I’m very happy that my consumption has leaned more to the imporant and edulcational this year. But in 2021, I want to make sure that my creation and creativity is at least more balanced, and more of a priorioty.
This first goal is one that I have had for many years. I think that I did not more well on this goal in. 2021 than in past years, but I also think I didn’t do worse than in most years.
I definitely still watched too much YouTube and perhaps even read a bit too much (I finished out the year having read 95 books). Reading is a little bit of a catch 22 in that I think it can help with creativity, but if that’s all you are doing, that’s not a help to your creativity. I did add effort to creative endeavors like BT and did a hand ful of projects over the years. Over all, not the worst, but no great leaps here.
Be More Self Sustainable
Double down on zero waste - I feel like in some ways I have gotten better at zero waste and in some ways more complacent. In 2021, I want to renew my pledge to the zero waste and low impact lifestyle in dramatic ways.
Live slow
Work more - Usually this goals is flipped but in 2021, I want to work more for MYSELF!
Forage more
Grow more food
Beach more
Spend less
Let see. This goals also wasn’t a true success. I didn’t advance my zero waste lifestyle nearly as much as I had wanted to. Here I feel like I’m in a holding pattern, circling just off where I would like to be and how much I would like to be progressing in this goal. I have had many discussions on what I can do to advance here, but very little tangible has come from them. I know I’m the kind of person that needs to think about things quite a bit before taking action, but neither much thought or action went into this in 2021. Now, that is not to say that I haven’t continued to live a more sustainable lifestyle than many people or even more so than in previous years. But I have reached a sort of plateau, and I would love to take the several next steps to become closer. To the goal I really want to achieve.
The way that I see this happening is to really focus on living slowly, hone in on what it means and how to do it. Create smart and concise goals within this goal to make it happen. I’m still working it all out, but one aspect is going to be doing a slow living series on my channel. One way that I kept up with zero waste in 2021 was to have a One More Month Of Zero Waste series on my booktube (my BT is not just about books!). Much like the series I do on this blog, we focused on one zero waste challenge each month and became more zero waste one month at a time. Over on YouTube, we rehashed and revisited a lot of the same challenges that we had already seen here. This both introduced the series to viewers, but also reinforced some things that we already knew but may have been slipping on.
I didn’t really work more in 2021, neither for myself nor for an outside job. The former needs attention, but I was happy with the amount of outside work I did in 2021. Part of a slow lifestyle, in my mind, is to work a job less, maintain it as a job you like that is low stress and deosn’t demand tooo much time or mental energy. Although one must make money to live in America, part of my slow lifestyle is to spend less, make less, and devote more time and energy to the real work of life, creativity, self employment, and enjoyment. Spend less was on the list of goals for last year. I can’t quantify if we actually did, but it felt like we did spend less in 2021.
Foraging and growing our own food kind of goes hand in hand. While we grew more food, and did find things we needed instead of buy them, I think. We could have been more intentional in the execution of this goal.
Health
Cook more
Cat health
Find doctors
Walk
Swim
Stretch/yoga
Health and supplements
I’m seeing a trend. Although we made some progress, we didn’t really focus on this goal. Plainly put, we did not cook more, focus on cat health, walk more, swim more or do yoga. We did all of these things a bit, but not more than the normal amount. We did do some work to find doctors, but that is ongoing and so doesn’t feel like any great accomplishment.
House Projects
Kitchen
Basement
Woodstove
Roof
Piano
Clean and reduce
Again, no real movement on the kitchen (a little tho!), basement, woodstove, or piano. But we did get a new roof, and we did work a very little bit on the cleaning, decluttering and reducing. I think we will see a big shift in these in the new year.
Travel and Explore - I’m not convinced there will be a lot of travel this year, but we can explore locally.
Irving in the car
Explore possible vaca home locales
This is a goal that saw NO movement. Zero.
Reading, Booktube, Blog
Read every day (65 books at least for the year)
Build my content creation and community
Be consistent with blogs and videos (schedule, schedule, schedule)
Be creative
We know I reached my reading goal, and along with that some goals I had for book tube. So I was able to buil my community in that way. I was pretty darn consistent over there. And fairly creative. But we also know I failed in all those aspects in this space. And the links between them were tenuous at best. Food for thought in 2022. I also hope that taking some time to concentrate here, now, is already helping.
How did you do on your 2021 goals? Did you keep up with and feel productive? Or were they pretty much dropped like mine? What are your plans for 2022?
Bc I use this blog to help dissect and evaluate my goals, it feels good to be back here. It feels solid and that it holds all the potential for the new year. I’ll need a few days to ruminate over what I’ve gone over here and will be back soon with some new goals for 2022.
Be I use this blog to help dissect and evaluate my goals, U
December had unseasonably warm days, chilly days, rain and sun. It was a good month for plant and beach and animal observations. We stayed close to home for all of the month, pretty much; Never traveling further than our county and not venturing far, even then.
Two somber boys.
Many sun rises.
A Cooper’s Hawk?
A neighbor cat.
One very confused iris.
Beautiful but in entirely the wrong time and place.
Decorations and celebrations.
Fata Morgana - when ships appear to float on air rather than sea.
In December, my work sched was almost entirely early mornings, which allowed me to see many great sights, including a floating air ship and striking sunrises. In Jan, I might catch some sunsets from work.
We’ve alread had snow in the new month and the new year. What were you’re plant observations for December and the end of 2021? What are you looking forward to in 2022?

Here we are reviewing and recapping the last month of 2021. Can you believe it?
December felt quite hectic. Even though ew don’t xmas shop, done do much for our celebrations, don’t really see anyone or do much that takes up a lot of time, this month felt full.
We seemed to work a lot of this month, but also had quite a bit of time off. Perhaps it was just that this year was abnormal, unusual, brisk and chaotic in many ways and that is why Dec felt that way as well.
We saw family, supported family at home (yes, I mean the cats), we got to explore some, but we mostly spent time at home when we could.
Over all this was a great year, all things considered. There was growth, there was change, there was routine and new adventure. There was also some missed opportunity to effect change, create and be creative. But we have another year to try again!
I hope you had as good a 2021 as you could have, but also that your 2022 is as good as you want it to be!
Happy new year!
One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.
Death at Pemberley is PD James’ homage to and continuation of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin.
After the events of Pride and Prejudice, Elisabeth and Mr Darcy are once again thrown into drama but in a stuffy British way. .
I’ve never read P&P, having done so might have increased my enjoyment of this book. But maybe not. I read this book as part of my project (“project”) to read all of PD James’ work. We ALL know I love her mysteries, but she has a few other types of books as well. I read this along side with one of her mysteries and her only Sci Fi. What I really did enjoy about Death Comes to Pemberley was that is was obvious that this book was an exercised for James to write in the style of another author. Although I haven’t read from the author she is emulating, I feel like this was a really successful take on it. The writing in this felt very “classic”! I liked that this book was a big departure from the kind of writing I’m used to reading from PD James. I liked that I was able to live vicariously through this book as far as reading a book (P&P) that I will never actually read. Or don’t even plan or intend to read. There was a lot about Pride and Prejudice in this book so I feel like I don’t really need to read that one now. Although this is billed as a mystery, there isn’t much mystery here. But I feel like that was an intentional choice as that is how a P&P mystery would be. More stuffy as well as easy to solve is how I would assume Jane Austin would have written this “sequel”. I certainly didn’t dislike this book, I thought it was fine. I would recommend this book for fans of Pride and Prejudice, people who enjoy retellings of classic novels, readers who like to read continuations of classics written by modern authors, and of course PD James lovers, like me!
What modern retelling or continuation is your favorite?

Time for Guardian’s list of favorite author’s favorite books.
I’m currently rereading Dracula. Have you read it?
Speaking of vampires, I was sad to hear of Anne Rice’s passing. I loved the Interview with a Vampire movie and then reading many of her books, so many and at so young an age, in fact, I can’t remember all of what I read. I feel like there will be a reread of interview with a vampire coming soon.
One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.
I had heard of The Book of Tea somewhere and wanted to read it for the 1900-1950 Readathon. It was written by Okakura Kakuzo in 1906.
The Book of Tea is part instructional manual, part philosophy, part history, all about tea.
I’m not sure where I first heard of this, or what I was expecting from this book. I didn’t realize that it was going to be basically a eastern philosophy text. It explains and explores Teasim. How that philosophy fits in with other eastern views, how it is or may be responsible for movements in art, structure and life. Kakuzo also pokes a lot of fun or is openly critical about how the western world views tea and what they do with it. He often makes the comparison between the good that has come from the eastern obsession with tea and how it evokes opposite effects in the west. I really liked that this was very simple and easy to read. Although it got a little snarky in places, I think this is not a bad place to start with East Asian philosophy. I would recommend this book to those interested in Eastern studies, Japanese history, students interested in non western history and studies, those who love Japanese culture, and of course people who really enjoy tea!
What philosophy books have you read? Which area of philosophy do you most enjoy learning about?
