My middle school self continues to thrive this year! Just like Scary Kids Scaring Kids graced me with an anniversary tour last month, emo stalwarts, Armor for Sleep have followed suit. Now, the 15 year anniversary of their first major-label debut, What to Do When You Are Dead, was meant to happen last year but COVID had other plans. No worries! It worked out even better for me this year!

Fan Art Friday: Alex Turner
Sure, we can use the word obsessed right now. I think that’s fair. But I can’t help it! After listening to The Last Shadow Puppets and Arctic Monkeys near constantly for the last six months or so, what can you expect?! So anyways, since I just reviewed Arctic Monkeys album, AM, pretty recently, here is a drawing of Alex Turner from that time. So suave!
Read moreScenes from a Marriage Miniseries
Okay, look, this five-part miniseries really grew on me as it went on, but I had to agree with SNL’s take on it two and a half episodes in. They made a fake trailer and then had a critic’s quote at the end stating, “Who is this for??” and I found myself asking the exact same question.
Read moreNew Music! Singles Edition.
As 2021 roles along, artists are still offering up new music, and I will take any that I can get. Within reason, of course (here’s looking at you, country music). Here’s some of the latest and greatest!
Read moreBook Review: My Policeman by Bethan Roberts
Ohhh, how I can’t wait to see how Bethan Roberts novel, My Policeman, gets adapted to the screen next year! This book was juicy and could definitely be expanded upon, and I imagine not in a bad way.
Read moreAmerican Horror Story: Double Feature
This time around, American Horror Story took a slightly different approach to its season. Instead of one ten-episode season, that in years past has puttered out by the end, they split it into two distinct storylines. Hence the title, Double Feature, for the season.
Read moreArctic Monkeys – AM Album Review
Alright, I’ve finally gotten to the Arctic Monkeys album that seemed to change the course of their career across the globe. Sure, they saw plenty of success in the U.K. with all of their previous records, but for whatever reason, AM is the one that seemed to resonate with the States the most. Now it’s my time to take a proper listen.
Read moreBook Review: Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
Well this is quite the debut novel! Talk about making memory loss more terrifying then it already is! That’s right, in S.J. Watson’s novel, Before I Go to Sleep, Christine is suffering from memory loss after an accident almost twenty years ago. What she learns along the way is twisted and so very clever!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Sullivan
One of my closest friends recently posted a picture of a statue that I had happened to have drawn almost 15 years ago! At the time I had no clue the real statue lived so close to home! In all honesty, I picked this depressing statue of The Angel of Death because it went perfectly with a lyric from one of my all time favorite bands. In Sullivan’s song, “The Charity of Saint Elizabeth,” it’s all about going too soon, but not yet being ready to die. So here’s a little throwback drawing, and you should all definitely go listen to that song.
Read moreClickbait Miniseries Review
This dramatic and thrilling Netflix miniseries came seemingly out of nowhere. One day it wasn’t there, and the next I see Adrian Grenier’s face with something that looks dark and twisted. Of course, when I learn that Zoe Kazan and Betty Gabriel are in it, too, it became a no-brainer to watch it! Also, with a name like Clickbait, it seems almost impossible that it won’t get watched. This 8-episode miniseries takes a unique storytelling approach with some shocking reveals along the way. Let’s dive in!
