I know I haven’t posted on here in a really long time. I seem to enjoy changing the look of this site more than I do actually posting on it. I’d like to say that I will work on posting more often, and I might. But I also know myself, and so I’m not going to make any guarantees about that. I even created another site earlier this year, that I was going to devote to just my Star Wars obsession, and I kind of failed at making that take off too. I’m probably going to just take it down and go back to just this site, since this one is THE girlvsplanet site, and that’s who I am. So maybe you’ll start seeing some Star Wars stuff up here, who knows. But I digress.

It’s pretty common when the year comes to a close to look back on it and even write some kind of summary of it or post one on social media. I’ve been thinking about this year as well as the upcoming year, so I figured I would give that a shot. So here goes.

David Duchovny is a multi-talented individual. Having already proven himself as a successful actor over the last two or three decades, in recent years he has begun to branch out into the worlds of music and literature. With two albums and two novels already under his belt, on May 1 he releases yet another novel, Miss Subways. Each of his books is very different from the others. Holy Cow is a whimsical story about a cow who is determined to escape the possibility of a very grim future. Bucky F*cking Dent is the story of a grown man’s relationship with his ailing father, with some baseball thrown in along the way. And his newest entry into the world of fiction literature, Miss Subways, is a fresh, modern take on some Irish (and other) mythology in the telling of the story of Emer.

The first time I remember hearing anything about International Women’s Day was when I was working on my MBA. It came up because I was in a class that dealt with some businesses overseas, and we needed to communicate with them, but we couldn’t because it was a national holiday in that country, and they were closed for the day. This intrigued me. Why had I never heard of this holiday before? If it was a holiday celebrating women, why didn’t we do anything for it here in the U.S.?
