Added Site Feature: Upcoming Conventions

     Hi, all! Got a lot of freelance work to finish right now, and then I'd like to get back to real blogging again. But for the time being, I wanted to introduce to you a new page on this site for Upcoming Conventions. I'll be relatively regularly updating in three different categories: Industry (Attending Only), Attending (Just Showing Up!), and Guest Appearances. For the time being, I have upcoming conventions listed for Industry and Attending. No current official guest appearances, which is fine, because it is rather uncommon for me to be added as a guest, though it has been known to happen from time to time. The "Guest Appearance" slot also has an E-mail address listed so that events may reach out to me to send invitations. I often don't have the power to simply make myself a guest, but if you think I would be a good fit for your local event, you're more than welcome to let organizers know you'd be interested in seeing me. Please don't flood anyone's inboxes on my behalf, though! I'm not always a good fit for every event, and that's totally normal. But I appreciate anyone who might be interested in seeing me nearby. Thank you for your kindness and support! Looking forward to seeing you around, even if it's just bumping into one another in a hallway somewhere.

Added Site Feature: Letterboxd Reviews

         Hi all, I wanted to go ahead and post an update regarding the development of this site as something of a one-stop place for most everything I do. If you swing by from time to time, you'll see me playing around with layouts and formats. I've added Ko-fi and Patreon links in easy-to-find places, as well as embedded my Bluesky profile right into the main body of the page.

    Additionally, a new page on the site takes you to movie reviews I'll be writing via Letterboxd. I like the idea of Letterboxd but have only just begun using it at the beginning of this year. I want to write about my thoughts on various media, but I don't always want to write entire in-depth reviews. Letterboxd feels like a place where I can let myself post a few thoughts without going too deep into contemplation or research, but I also wanted to bring it over into my own environment to that you don't have to hop around all over the internet to find what I'm doing. The Letterboxd Reviews page is my way of accomplishing that, and simply uses my Letterboxd account's RSS feed to pull reviews I'm writing and automatically plop them right onto the page, while also still linking directly back to my Letterboxd account if you really feel like interacting with me over there specifically

     I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more updates of this variety over the course of this year as I settle in and really make this place my home. I think it's more rewarding than relying on the scattershot nature of social media. Even if it's not a bustling place around here, I do want it to be my internet home. Looking forward to continuing the process.

Happy New Year!

A fresh start!

     Hello all!

    After almost 25 years of going by the online username of MarzGurl, I finally managed to register marzgurl.com for myself. It was something I was finally needing to do after a series of events where a malicious individual had registered it in retaliation against me, followed by auction squatters holding onto it for quite some time. But finally, marzgurl.com redirects to this blog. I've had marzgurlproductions.com registered for about the last 20 years now, which has been fine, but I guess it's really silly that I never just had marzgurl.com until the year 2024. Live and learn, I guess. I'm 38, somehow still living, but definitely still learning.

    I'm sure you'll see this page go through quite a lot of changes. I'm just kinda constantly poking away at it and desperately trying to make it look like something less of a mess. I'll get there eventually, and one day it'll be tweaked into exactly what I want it to be. For now, I'm satisfied with it just holding down the fort for marzgurl.com. We'll see if we can't turn this into a better hub for something greater later.

    While you're here, be sure to check out kaylynsaucedo.com, too, since I also took the time to register that, in case anybody went maliciously looking for that one also. It just redirects to a carrd.co page, but it hosts my professional voice acting website for anybody who may have any interest in that. Also, kaylynsaucedo-cc.carrd.co hosts my professional closed caption and subtitle editing resume. So now you know where all the most informative stuff about me sits online at current.

    Time to go fiddle around with this place some more and see if we can't even further clean it up. Take it easy, guys. Thanks for finding me over here.
