Hello friends! I realize its been a while since I've put anything up and that I'm a little late to the game in recapping my favorite things from 2019. But, that being said, January isn't quite over yet and I'd still like to talk about the books and movies that caught my attention last year.... Continue Reading →
October - ah! What a month! I complain about busyness often, but this month really was the busiest I've had in perhaps ever. The beginning of October consisted of quite a bit of babysitting and a number of morning shifts at the coffee shop I work at. (Morning shifts meaning I woke up at 4:30... Continue Reading →
I feel a little funny writing this about a week into October, but oh well, I haven't had time to write this long a post in the last week or so, thanks to school, work, and my own laziness (if we're being honest), among other things. Anyway, here I am now, recapping the first month... Continue Reading →
This summer consisted of many many movies and I'm proud to say that I checked off six films from my to-be-watched-list. So, without further ado, here are the movies of the summer.

Summer always comes with relief, but this June seems much more relaxing than any other has been. I've done lots of reading (surprise, surprise), crossed a couple movie off my never ending to-be-watched list, caught up on Gilmore Girls, done some writing, and laid around doing absolutely nothing. People talk about being bored in the... Continue Reading →
Summer in all its chlorine scented, air conditioned, peach hued, iced coffee glory is finally here. Finally. I almost don't believe it. This was my first afternoon without obligations and I kept thinking to myself, 'don't I have algebra homework?' The next three months will pass quickly, they always do, but I welcome their release.... Continue Reading →
Generally I'm not one for space movies, but this one, this one, oh my word. I don't think I've been that affected/touched/provoked to thought by a movie in a long while. Not since The Tree of Life at least. For me to enjoy science fiction, it can't be so fantastic that it no longer feels attached to reality.... Continue Reading →
