Holy
I may catch flak for this... but spelling is important. I'm all for abbreviations, I LOVE emojis, and I'm not opposed to "text speak," but proper spelling is another matter. When I was in junior high, ripped jeans were a fad. But they were also against dress code. Anyone who dared defy the constrictions of … Continue reading Holy
2020 Oscar Snubs
I didn't have time to write out my Best Picture Countdown this year (just know that my top 3 were Little Women, JoJo Rabbit, and Parasite, not necessarily in that order, and The Irishman is last) so here's my list of Oscar Snubs instead. The Peanut Butter Falcon / Shia LeBeouf It's almost heartbreaking that … Continue reading 2020 Oscar Snubs
One Shot: Fantasia (1940)
Perhaps one of the most revered - and, simultaneously, the most forgotten - Disney titles of all time is the 1940 symphonic masterpiece, Fantasia. Featuring some of the most gorgeous, frightening, and imaginative animated sequences ever to come from the studio, and heavily influenced by some of the most incredible classical music pieces of all … Continue reading One Shot: Fantasia (1940)
I’ve Got Plans
Hours at my job vary depending on a multitude of circumstances. Some days I can (allegedly) trek home after 9 hours, which is the standard length of a shift for a salaried executive at my workplace. Though, to be honest, I don't think I've worked a 9 hour shift since I started, and the other … Continue reading I’ve Got Plans
Top 10 Favorite Films of 2019
I usually do this as a dual post with my favorite books I read in 2019, but I had a not so great reading year last year, chalking up roughly half the amount of books I usually do, so this year it's film only! Also, bear in mind, this is a list of my favorite … Continue reading Top 10 Favorite Films of 2019
The Star Wars “Problem”
*** WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER AND THE ENTIRE SKYWALKER SAGA. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. *** Back in 2015, as the lights dimmed in the theater and those iconic words lit up the screen, and John Williams' fantastic score transported the audience into the vast reaches of a faraway … Continue reading The Star Wars “Problem”
Hall of Fame pt. 3
Okay, okay. It's been a minute, I know. I'm a bit behind. The holiday season (which, if you work retail, is Sept-Jan) has been rough on me this year. But I am TRYING to get back on track with posting and I appreciate the patience! Though, my job has not been the only reason I … Continue reading Hall of Fame pt. 3
Yesterday
Yesterday, my alarm went off at 4:30AM. I smashed the snooze button until 4:50, but it was technically my day off, so I wasn't under much pressure to be on time to work. I brewed my coffee into a "Do or do not, there is no try" travel mug emblazoned with Yoda on the side, … Continue reading Yesterday
McFlurry
Little known fact: I am scared of drive-thrus. This is a quirk that stems from my irrational fear of car washes, I think. Or it's born from some other bizarre facet of my psyche. I don't really know, but I have actively avoided drive-thrus since I got my driver's license ten years ago. My new … Continue reading McFlurry
