Sharp as a needle ~ Scathing as a razor blade ~ Welcome to my world.
Hello, bloggers. It's already been several weeks, but I hope you had a good New Year's. Whether you were to celebrate it with family and/or friends (even just in your own good company) at home or elsewhere, I hope you started off 2019 well. I guess this post could be classified as my typical "I'm …

It's finally 2019! What a year 2018 has been...from the bad to the good, I found this past year to be quite the roller-coaster compared to previous years. But I've survived, though, and I'm ready to tackle 2019! Looking back, I found 2018 to be one of the harder years in my adulthood so far. …
Hello! It's been a while since I last posted, but in any case I'm dropping in to wish all of you a wonderful holidays. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or some other holiday, I hope that you have a great time nonetheless. Currently, I'm still on vacation (or rather, taking a break from work …
Greetings! As you can read from the post's title, today (December 20th) marks my five-year anniversary (or I should say "blogiversary") on WordPress! Since writing about my first-year anniversary back in 2014, I've dedicated each year to a post about the things I've learned from blogging, as well as myself-- cliché as it sounds, I …
Greetings, bloggers! If you haven't noticed, my blog's URL has been *slightly* changed to thefinickycynic.wordpress.com. After almost five years of being "thefinickycynicat.wordpress.com," I've finally been able to change it, since I honestly got so peeved with the extra "at" I'd added when setting up my blog. Due to this small, but notable change, many of …
Hello! Yes, it's that time of year again...even though I just came back from my October holidays barely two weeks ago, I am once again heading out to travel! Basically, I had two weeks of work after returning from my week-long vacation in October, which went by rather quickly. I just finished giving my final …
Greetings! Recently, I've really gotten into the English band The 1975 (including last week's post here). This week, I want share another song from them I've gotten hooked on. Titled "It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)," it's a 1970's/1980's-inspired power ballad that's sure to get you hooked within seconds of listening to it. …

Bonjour! While staying in Paris during my week-long vacation in October, I took a couple of day trips to other cities not so far away. Aside from visiting the majestic château de Chenonceau, I also decided to take a day trip to Reims, located about an hour east of Paris and known for being in …
Bonjour! Known as one of the most famous châteaux in France (let alone in the Loire Valley), château de Chenonceau is a distinctive beauty, with part of its structure suspended over the river. Having been to a few other châteaux in the Loire Valley already (including the equally-famous château de Chambord), I knew that I had to make it …
Bonjour! The first two nights in Paris during my five-night stay over the October holidays were pretty busy with sightseeing and (lots of) eating. This isn't to say that the next three nights were calm, though-- in fact, I still did quite a bit, all the while balancing it with day trips to other places …
