In keeping with the books geared towards the scary for October, I made in odd choice in this young adult romance slash horror novel, Sweet, written by Emmy Laybourne. I also learned that Laybourne was in Superstar! What a small world. Anyways, this book got more enjoyable the further I got into it, and there were also some pretty strong messages layered into this young adult entry. I think teens and adults alike can learn something from this while also being entertained.
Read moreMilwaukee Film Festival and Apple TV+’s On the Rocks
I keep scouring the web for more virtual film festivals and it’s done a great job in providing them to me! Thanks to a stranger on Twitter I found out about the Milwaukee Film Festival, which while it didn’t provide a lot of titles that caught my eye, it did crop up the gem that was I Used to Go Here. I was also equally excited to check out Apple TV+’s latest cinematic offer with Sofia Coppola’s On the Rocks. So that’s what I did last night!

On the last day of the AFI Film Festival, I was able to squeeze in two more movies that I was itching to see. Both were strange in their own ways, but enjoyably unique.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Rafael Nadal
You know what? Today is my birthday so I’m going to post a drawing of a person I love and I love how it turned out. This drawing of Nadal is probably a decade old, but you have no idea how nervous I was about drawing this shirt and I thought it turned out sort of awesome! So yeah, happy birthday to me!
Read moreWorkaholics Season 2
If my experience with watching a long running comedy taught me anything is that as time goes on, the show typically gets better. I promise that is no exception for Workaholics. For my second season in about a week, this show has solidified it’s brand of comedy and doubled-down on the friendship aspect. For all of this, I approve.
Read moreConcert Throwback: Motion City Soundtrack
My next livestream concert experience isn’t until next week, so for now we all get to reminisce about the many times I’ve seen 2000’s emo band Motion City Soundtrack. I know someone is likely to read this and tell me they are pop punk, but you’re wrong. They are all sorts of emotional and have toured with the most emo band on this planet (Hawthorne Heights), therefore they are also emo.
Read moreVirginia Film Fest & Netflix’s Rebecca
The film festival magic continues, but this time with an entirely new one! Similar excellent options, although sadly some were relegated strictly to drive-in theaters. Obviously, since I do not live there I cannot attend. Sad. No worry though, because I did get to catch a film I’d had my eye one since the start of the year!
Read moreAFI Film Festival
Not much good has come out of this pandemic, so imagine my surprise when something actually awesome happens?! Film Festivals all over the world have either had to cancel or postpone, but now a large handful have caught onto the streaming bug, and this works out magically for me! Usually attended by locals or strictly critics, this change of events has given me an unseen advantage. I, just a lowly film fan, gets to watch potential Oscars films ahead of the masses!
Read moreConcert Review: An Evening With Adam Lazzara
As the pandemic surges on, there are more and more livestream concert events popping up, and with a ton of my favorite artists jumping on board, so am I! Like I said before, I’ll take what I can get. And if that means watching Taking Back Sunday front man, Adam Lazzara tune his own guitar in between songs, then so be it!
Read moreWorkaholics Season 1
It’s been a while since my run with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, so I decided to tackle another long-running comedy that’s been on my bucket list for quite some time. And that show is Workaholics! I’ve seen a lot of things these guys have been in separately, so it was just a matter of time before I got to watch this show. Worth the wait for sure, and that’s only after ten episodes!
