While I have not seen Betty Gilpin in a lot of things over the years (sorry GLOW, I’m just not there yet), it’s her interviews about the projects that prompted me to seek out her collection of essays. Seriously, if you have not watched a single one of her interviews before, do it. She’s hilarious, and even though the collection of essays goes to some dark places, having heard her speak before really helped me get into her headspace and really hear her telling these stories.

Arctic Monkeys – The Car, Album Review
Well, it’s finally here. New Arctic Monkeys! It’s been about five years since their last full-length album, so now we have The Car. Admittedly, the singles left me feeling a little slighted, but I’ve come around a bit!
Read moreBook Review: Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll
Full disclosure, the only reason I even picked up this novel, Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll, was because I saw the Netflix trailer and was intrigued by its mystery. That’s sad that Netflix movies are what’s driving my reading choices, but when People magazine is the only source for “new hits,” I suppose I shouldn’t be that surprised.
Read moreArmor for Sleep – Rain Museum, Album Review
Even though Ben Jorgensen of Armor for Sleep told me last November during their 15 year anniversary show that new music was on the horizon, I really didn’t believe it would be this soon! But sure enough, a few weeks ago, the band released their fourth album, Rain Museum, out into the world.

I might be a little behind, but there’s new music out there, and you should be listening to it!

This will be the first of two AFI appreciation posts I’ll be making because I get to see them next week! But until then, I honor those that get to see them at the giant emo-fest happening in Vegas this weekend and last. Enjoy this very old painting on woodblock I did back in high school.
Read moreMr. Harrigan’s Phone – Short Story and Film Review
The literary horror family are getting all the film adaptations this year! First, Joe Hill’s short story, The Black Phone, gets an awesome Ethan Hawke led masterpiece, and now Stephen King’s Mr. Harrigan’s Phone is getting a similar treatment?! Count me in! Admittedly, the latter had a rather quiet release on Netflix just a couple of weeks ago, but I enjoyed it just the same.
Read moreConcert Review: AWOLNATION
I can’t believe it’s been pre-pandemic since I’ve seen AWOLNATION live! Sure, I checked out their livestream show, but it’s just not the same.
Read moreAustin and All its Museums
Given that I had never been to Austin prior to attending Austin City Limits, it only makes sense that I would have went out and explored a little bit. Sure, my friend and I segwayed through Downtown and saw things like the Colorado River and the city’s capitol, but what really stuck out were two vastly different museums.

I made time for a lot of the scarier stuff this weekend, but there were a couple others that I knew I wanted to make time for.
