Guten Abend! (Good evening!) I went to the movie theater last night with my Mom and sister. We had so much fun: The Book Club was a sweet, funny movie about four older women reconnecting with the men in their lives–with a little help from the naughty (and let’s face it, horribly written and veryContinue reading “Trailers: Bohemian Rhapsody”
Christopher Robin
Hello, everyone! Happy Tuesday morning! I had a fantastic weekend–my sister is home now from college, so we’ve been hanging out a ton. We’re currently watching Planet Earth II on Netflix. It’s so good! I just wanted to show you guys the new trailer for Christopher Robin. I’m a huge fan of A.A. Milne’s work.Continue reading “Christopher Robin”
Metallica: August 20th, 2016
Do you feel alive? How does it feel to be alive?! – James Hetfield, from the S&M live concert August 20th, 2016 My first-ever concert was at the U.S. Bank Stadium. The wickedly talented and very badass heavy metal rock band Metallica was playing. It was incredible. We were excited. Once I got off work that day,Continue reading “Metallica: August 20th, 2016”
#WeekendCoffeeShare (Sun. May 13th)
Hello, dear reader! Mother’s Day has already come and gone. This year, I went all out. I bought a dark blue Yankee candle and a card. Instead of writing a poem–which I’ve done for each of my parents over the years–I made a list of humorous inside jokes and heartfelt messages. My mom has taughtContinue reading “#WeekendCoffeeShare (Sun. May 13th)”
#weekendcoffeeshare (Sat. April 14th)
Hello, dear reader! If we were having coffee, I’d be sporting my metal flower water bottle. For the past few days, I’ve been having a pretty wicked cold. (I mean wicked as in ugly, not cool.) If we were having coffee, I would probably be trying to not fall asleep. I only worked for six hours today–IContinue reading “#weekendcoffeeshare (Sat. April 14th)”
The Double Standard: Mental Health
Hello, dear reader! I have anxiety. I have depression. Some days, my mood is really good. Some days, I have “down” days, or more specifically, “down” moments. I say down moments because my mood will shift, even if I suddenly feel sad. Some days, I’m worried about stupid stuff, like letting myself fret over the future–which I know willContinue reading “The Double Standard: Mental Health”
A Love Letter to A Little Life
Hello, dear reader! Note: the book cover is an alternative one. the original features “the orgasmic man” This 724-paged novel captivated me, chewed me up with its rawness, spit me back out, and came back swinging with fresh emotions and intense feels. Hanya Yanagihara’s work is akin to an MMA fighter: Once you’re in theContinue reading “A Love Letter to A Little Life”

The Hobbit
Hello there! I’ve finally read J.R.R. Tolkien’s prelude to his famous Lord of the Rings trilogy. Of course, I’ve seen most of the films, but reading this classic was a treat. The world that Tolkien gives us is enchanting, and feels very much like a fairy tale to me–but one with a happy ending. (Looking at you,Continue reading “The Hobbit”
Stardew Valley
Hello, everyone! These past few months, I’ve become obsessed with a little farming game called Stardew Valley. I never played Harvest Moon as a child, but I did watch a friend of mine play it for a bit. Stardew is about a guy or girl, possibly in their twenties, inheriting their grandfather’s farm. One of theContinue reading “Stardew Valley”
