No brand new album for me to review just yet, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been new music! That’s right, plenty of bands are releasing singles, which is giving me hope for full length albums in the very near future. Here’s what I’ve been checking out recently.

4th of July Movie Weekend
Now, I wouldn’t say any of these movies were patriotic, but the holiday weekend did provide me with more time to watch movies! So for that, I am thankful – ‘Merica!
Read moreMosaic – Television Film Review
Is it a show or is it a movie? I mean, in the linear version of Mosaic, it’s broken down into six, 50-ish minute parts, so in my mind it’s a show. However, when each bit starts, HBO tells me I’m watching a movie. Who knows! What I do know is that when Mosaic emerged in 2018, it was very unique for the time. It originally aired on apps, where you could pick a path would alter what things you saw. The plotline itself really didn’t change, but the perspective could, which means you could discover certain things not available from other perspectives.
Read moreBook Review: Force of Nature by Jane Harper
When I found out Jane Harper wrote a second novel featuring Aaron Falk, Force of Nature, I knew I had to see if it could live up to her debut. The Dry was just so personal that I couldn’t see how this person could successfully be serialized. The character loses a bit of it’s uniqueness in this very genre novel, but that didn’t really make it any less compelling to me. It’s a good crime novel!

I love me a good subtitled movie, so there’s no doubt that I would love a subtitled show! Los Espookys is primarily a Spanish series about a group of friends just out trying to scare people.
Read moreBad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup – Book Review
The New York Times journalist John Carreyrou delivered a story so crazy I almost couldn’t believe it was real. Elizabeth Holmes, a Stanford sophomore dropout, managed to dupe a large part of the world with the promise of revolutionary healthcare. Blood testing to be more specific. Given how recently everything fell apart for her, I’m sort of shocked this scandal was never on my radar. I worked in healthcare for crying out loud! In finance, but still.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Arcade Fire
What perfect timing! While it still might be a little while yet before we get any new music from one of my favorite bands, Arcade Fire is serving us some awesome throwback performances in what they’re calling “Arcade Fire Past Lives.” I’ll take it! In the meantime, you can enjoy this new drawing!
Read moreLooking – The Series & Movie
Ever since watching Jonathan Groff in Glee, he’s always been on my radar, but I had never really given any of his other stand-out projects a chance. Now, I don’t know that I will ever watch Hamilton or Frozen (just not a fan of musicals or kids movies), but I did want to check out his critically acclaimed show, Looking, while I still had the chance. Unfortunately, despite it’s great reviews, the viewership was low enough that it got cancelled after two seasons, although HBO was gracious enough to let them tie up their story with a movie. So I watched it all!
