I warned you all back when I read Twilight that I was doing it in anticipation of the release of Midnight Sun, and it’s here! While it took me an obscenely long time to finish, that does not mean I didn’t like it. In fact, the opposite is true – I loved it! So, so much.

Movies, Movies, Movies!
Taking time off and nowhere to go means I got to watch a lot more movies this past week and weekend! I also ventured back to the theater this week! Although I made sure to pick a time where it was likely the no one would be present. Watching a movie with a mask on was also a cake walk, so you can all do it, too! Either way, almost everything I watched this past week was definitely unique and quite the ride. Some are certainly worth checking out, so below is quick recap to wet your appetite!
Read moreHollywood Miniseries Review
As I slowly roll through the Emmy nominated shows of 2020, I’ve managed to actually finish one! I decided to start with the Netflix miniseries created by the television genius that is Ryan Murphy, Hollywood. As I heard Darren Criss say in several interviews, this show “gives Hollywood the Hollywood treatment.” Indeed!
Read moreBook Review: Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
As you all know, I’ve fully embraced my nerd status, so why would I not want to read a cute romance novel related to a massive fan convention in Las Vegas?! And it was just that: cute. Annabeth Albert delivered all the frills and nerdiness in her road-trip romance novel, Conventionally Yours.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Andy Biersak
I was staring at my walls this morning, realized I didn’t post anything for Fan Art Friday, and then my eyes zeroed in on this older drawing I did of Andy Biersack. Thanks to Warped Tour, I’ve had the opportunity to meet this fine man, and not only is he gorgeous, but he’s extremely talented and kind. From his lead man status in Black Veil Brides, to his solo career, he also finds time to act and host a sports-themed talk show! He hails from my home state, too, so I’m obviously partial in that regard. Anyways, this is an older drawing I did of Andy, but his eyes are captivating and I can’t help myself. Enjoy!
Read moreConcert Throwback: Foxy Shazam
Foxy Shazam, the Cincinnati based rock band from back in the day are BACK after a six year hiatus and I couldn’t be happier. Led by electric and strange front-man Eric Sean Nally, this band has always mixed loud beats and horns with soft vocals or screams. I also guarantee that the first time you listen to them, especially songs from The Church of Rock and Roll, you may confuse them for Queen. Seriously, if you wander through the Youtube comments on performances, this is the top comparison, and it’s accurate! Having seen them play live twice in completely different circumstances, their natural talent is unmatched. The first time I saw them was opening for fun. and Panic! at the Disco back in 2011 and I was immediately enthralled by their chaos onstage. Then I had the opportunity to see them headline at a smaller venue, but got the gift of a crazy long set, and they were incredible! Ever heard an electric kazoo? Well, I have and it’s cool as hell. Now it’s 2020, they’re back together, and there’s new merch and new music, and I can’t wait to see them again!
Read moreMovie Marathon
It’s only three day’s worth, but I watched so many movies, that even I’m impressed with myself. My choices, however…not all were great. Far more were mediocre or less, but I’ll just throw in my two cents with the briefest of recaps and then you can judge for yourselves.
Read moreAvatar – Hunter Gatherer Album Review
Since it’s the weekend and I told you all to expect it, here’s my review of Swedish heavy metal band Avatar’s newest release, Hunter Gatherer. Not even a full two years since the release of their previous album Avatar Country, I’d like to think that the pandemic had something to do with the quicker appearance of new music from this dynamic band. And for that I am happy.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Avatar
In honor of Avatar’s new release last, Hunter Gatherer, I thought it was fitting to revisit the drawing I did of the band late last year. Not only because it was my first time drawing the Swedish heavy metal band, but it was also one of the rare instances in the past decade where I’ve drawn something using color! And not pens! It was truly a record for the books. Anyways, expect an album review sometime this weekend, but in the meantime, enjoy this drawing!
Read moreConcert Throwback: Bad Suns
I suppose this would be multiple concert throwbacks, because I’ve had the good fortune of being able to see Bad Suns in concert seven times! That puts them near the top of my most-frequent attendance list. It all started back in 2014 when I heard their first radio single, “Cardio Arrest,” play in my car. The rest is history!
