The Hill reported that current Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Paul Ryan (Republican — Wisconsin) said that the California election system “just defies logic to me.”
Here is an explanation of how California’s election system functions.

Seekers Notes is a game where the player becomes The Seeker. Darkwood has been cursed, and The Seeker must explore locations and find hidden objects. In addition, there are creatures roaming the streets.
The Magic of Music event is a holiday event that appears right around (American) Thanksgiving. Each holiday event involves getting rid of the holiday creatures (multiple times).
It’s been a little while since the 2018 midterm election ended, and most (if not all) of the votes have now been counted. Democrats did really well in the U.S. House of Representatives. This will change how things go in 2019 (when the newly elected take their seats).
We will no longer have one party controlling all branches of the federal government. Personally, I find that comforting. I’m not a fan of the decisions that were made when the Republicans controlled everything.

Years ago, (somewhere in the early 2000s) I decided to start using a hormonal birth control. After doing some research, I thought that Depo Provera would be a good choice.
It is administered by shot every three months, and is one of the most effective forms of birth control. Unfortunately for me, Depo Provera made me very sick – and the side effects are still here all these years later.
Warning: This blog post is going to contain a lot of what many may feel is “too much information”. It is probably not something everyone will feel comfortable reading. This post is also very long.
Seekers Notes is a puzzle game with an engaging storyline. The town of Darkwood is cursed, and the player (who becomes The Seeker) must find a way to fix that problem. It is a dark and creepy game with lovely artwork.
This involves picking up quests from a variety of NPCs (non-player characters) who ask The Seeker to find a specific item. The player goes to a certain location and tries to find all the hidden objects before time runs out. There’s a chance the requested item will appear after the player completes a location.
The Magic of Music Event is a holiday event that appears right around (American) Thanksgiving Day. The event only lasts for a limited time. I decided to make a few blogs about my progress through this event.
Nick and Amy Dunne have what appears (from the outside) to be a perfect marriage. Both of them make their living as writers – for different publications. Both are good looking and visually appear to be a good match. Gone Girl is the story of what happens when a marriage ends – and the wife suddenly disappears.
Gillian Flynn is the author of Sharp Objects, which became a New York Times Bestseller. Gone Girl is not a sequel to Sharp Objects. Both stories have plenty of twists and turns, which leave the reader guessing about what is really going on.
This is definitely one of those books that is difficult to review because of the chance of unintentionally revealing spoilers.
This is Overseer Lady Josephine. I got her from a Menagerist Goblin during the gap between Season 11 and Season 12.
The flavor text on Overseer Lady Josephine says: You cannot keep me in this teddy bear forever. This isn’t even my final form!
Fallwoods is an “extra” town in the Kitchen Scramble app. It appears for a limited amount of time. Players must complete it before time runs out.
Fallwoods is focused on Thanksgiving foods. Players get an oppertunity to practice each one before starting a level. Those who make it all the way to the end of this town earn a unique appliance that carries over into the regular game.
Hallow’s End is my favorite of all the World Events in World of Warcraft. I’ve been slowly working my way through it with my main, Riglee (a Gnome Death Knight). The main problem was that she was always too low a level to even try and earn some of holiday related achievements.
This year, Riglee was somewhere around Level 96 or so when Hallow’s End started. I was able to get her through almost all of the Hallow’s End achievements – with one exception. Riglee hit Level 99 near the end of the World Event, and needed to be Level 100 in order to find Scarecrow Pepe in her Garrison.
In this episode, I share a piece of my writing that I wrote shortly after returning home from BlizzCon 2018. It is about a mobile game called Diablo Immortal – and how people reacted to it.
I read “My Thoughts on Diablo Immortal and BlizzCon 2018” on episode 042 of Words of Jen.
