Fan Art Friday: Hannibal

In case it’s not incredibly obvious by now, I am as obsessed with Hannibal as Hannibal is with Will Graham. So naturally, I’ve done another piece, but this time they’re both in it! Most of it is pen, but the blood and antlers are painted (acrylic and watercolor, respectively). Truthfully, I am VERY pleased with how this turned out. I forgot how fun it is to paint blood, too!

Book Review: Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance

At the insistence of one of my friends, and the promise of a film adaptation, I finally decided to give J.D. Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, a chance. It was quite a thought-provoking and somewhat somber read. While he grew up in Ohio like me, there was a lot that I couldn’t relate to personally, but there were many things he described that I’ve at least witnessed in my lifetime.

Roswell, New Mexico – Season 2, Episode 12

Another crazy busy episode of Roswell, New Mexico this week! In fact, so many things happened and there are so many cliffhangers, that I am sort of shocked that they are going to be able to wrap everything up in the season finale next week. But I’m assuming it does all get wrapped up considering they were already done filming season two before they got picked up for a third.

Minimal Movie Review

I am fully aware that the number of movies I watched this weekend is in fact still above average compared to almost everyone I know. But two movies is almost pathetic! At least by my standards, and especially since I watched 25 movies last month. Oh well, it’s a slow start but I don’t doubt I’ll have a strong finish (even if it is getting nicer out). Now, there were onlt two movies, but they were fairly strong choices!

Fuller House Series Finale

I’ll be honest, I waited a few days to review the finale nine episodes of Fuller House because I watched them embarrassingly quick. Unlike others, I am not a fan of binge-watching, but in a little over a day I burned through these episodes like they were my life-blood. I laughed and teared up, and it was totally what I was expecting to experience with this last batch of new episodes and nostalgia.

Book Review: Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen McManus

I know the title sounds reminiscent of Pretty Little Liars, and I totally agree. It doesn’t help that Two Can Keep a Secret is a young adult novel, but I promise you, this mystery novel by Karen McManus is highly entertaining. Also, unlike the other two books I’ve reviewed from McManus, this one is totally unrelated to that world.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia – Season 2

I’ve managed to watch the second season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia last week, and just like season one, it was a little bit vulgar, entirely un-PC, and hilarious. I always have to remind myself of when these early seasons aired, because I have to think that some of these early episodes might not have been made. Their comedic styling is something that a lot of people would understand, but there’s probably almost an equally large group who wouldn’t and be totally outraged.

Pearl Jam, Gigaton Review

Look, I’ll preface this review by saying that I do not listen to Pearl Jam that much or really like too many of their songs. In general, I find their songs slow, and Eddie Vedder’s voice is a garbled mess. BUT, with that being said, I do like some of their songs, but it’s few and far between. Everything has to be just about perfect for me to listen to it more than once.
