For whatever reason, this band, The Blue Stones, keeps popping up, so I’ve finally decided to take notice. Several months back I heard a song of theirs playing on Sirius XM’s Octane, and just the other day I found out they’re playing at one of my favorite local venues this coming weekend. I may be otherwise occupied the day of the show, but it’s nice to know it’s an option. Anyway, with all of that in mind, I finally carved out a little bit of time to listen to their full-length record, Hidden Gems.

Book Review: Whisper Network by Chandler Baker
Truthfully, this book has been on my radar for quite some time. What can I say, Reese’s Book Club has good taste! Most of the time when I think to go check out Whisper Network, someone’s already gotten to it, but my luck turned around during my last trip to the library. This book by Chandler Baker was not totally what I was expecting, but the end result was definitely satisfying enough.

All things considered, I’m a little shocked I was able to squeeze in my standard three movies for the weekend! And with that, they all managed to be pretty darn entertaining.
Read moreArctic Monkeys “Suck It and See” Album Review
Still plugging away at Arctic Monkeys’ discography! I’ve been really taking my time working through them because I really want to appreciate what they bring to the table, and so far it’s been a success! I also learned about an indie side project the band took on with the addition of a couple vocalists, including Miles Kane, called Death Ramps – how cool! I’ve see a ring with that name mentioned over the internet whenever I look into Arctic Monkeys or The Last Shadow Puppets, but the knowledge has finally come full circle. Anyways, let’s get into what Suck It and See has to offer!
Read moreTed Lasso Season 2
I patiently waited for all of Ted Lasso‘s second season to air before I dared to watch it. Kudos to all the fans who managed to torture themselves and only watch one episode a week. As I’ve said in the past, I’m not really a binge-watcher, but I definitely finished this season in three days. It was magnificent! Now, I know it’s still a little fresh for people, so I won’t give away too much of what happened, but here we go!

Book Review: We the Animals by Justin Torres
In all honesty, this book, We the Animals caught my attention for two reasons. The first is that it was relatively short. The second was that a handful of years ago it got adapted into a critically acclaimed film starring Looking’s Raul Castillo. Since my time with that show, I’ve been seeking those actors out, so it’s no wonder this work came back into my orbit. Instead of just jumping straight into the film first, I decided I wanted to give the book a go.
Read moreRoswell, New Mexico Season 3 Finale
That’s right, another one of my shows have dropped off for the year, and this time it was the CW’s Roswell, New Mexico. They sort of surprised me a little bit by dropping the last two episodes of the season on the same night, but I’m not mad about two hours of drama! Let’s wrap this season up!

This weekend is nothing to write home about in terms of quantity, and honestly, the quality was not much better.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Armor for Sleep
In honor of seeing one of my favorite middle school bands at the end of the month for the first time, Armor for Sleep, here’s my latest drawing! Now, this is a drawing of a drawing I did in high school, based off a shirt I bought maybe 14 years ago. It may all be dated, but I’m pumped to catch these guys on the What to Do When You Are Dead anniversary tour!
