REVIEW: “The Imitation Game”
I’ve been doing my best to see more movies in the theater. For as much as I love awards season, I usually don’t see the nominated films before the awards ceremonies. I’d wait for them to come out on DVD or hit cable. But, I want to change that routine.…

REVIEW: “Big Eyes”
This is a movie I’ve wanted to see for a while. Because, well, Amy Adams is in it. I love me some Amy Adams. I have ever since she played Cousin Beth in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Anya slapped her down for not knowing what kind of demon Tara was…

REVIEW: “Into the Woods”
I have loved musicals all my life. My mother got me hooked on them when I was very young by listening to the soundtrack records with me. (Yes, records. Vinyl.) When cable came into our lives, movie musicals were often played. That was Nirvana for me. I would turn down…

REVIEW: “Wild”
Anyone who has kept up with or read through my blog posts is aware of the close relationship I had with my mother. Her death 2 years ago was devastating. I still find it so strange that I have to visit her at the cemetery, and not just go into…

REVIEW: “The Theory of Everything”
Once upon a time, I was a Physics/Astronomy major. I spent 2 1/2 years in college studying the laws and beauty of our universe. I wanted to work for NASA. But, I fell out of love with it. I mean, I still like Physics and Astronomy. I just lost my desire…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 30: Success
November 30, 2014. The last day of National Blog Posting Month. I did it! 30 posts in 30 days. Yay! It was tough. Some days I just didn’t have anything to write about and I had to fake it. Some posts are pretty good. Some are okay. Some…well…they suck. But…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 29: Bothered
I’m actually not in a mood to write a blog post today. If I do, it will be a massive, unkind rant. And I don’t want to do that. Others may. But I will not. So, let me just say that I will be back tomorrow – for the final…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 28: Black Friday
Once upon a time, I would go shopping on Black Friday. The first year was 1998 with my mom. I wrote about it in a blog post 2 years ago – weeks after my mother passed away. I don’t do Black Friday shopping anymore. Not the kind that requires camping…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 27: Storms and Calm
To those who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving. This has been a very long day. I was up at 2:30am to prepare the turkey and put it into the oven. My intention was to go back to bed, but that didn’t happen. By that time, I was wide awake. So, I just…

NaBloPoMo (11/24) – Day 26: Thankful
It’s the night before Thanksgiving in the United States. I’ve been prepping and cooking and baking….and I still have some cooking to do. Around 2:30am, I need to prepare the turkey and put it in the oven. I’ll wake up to the smell of a roasting turkey. Yum. Before I…
