This was supposed to be the end to my romance myths series. I think sharing this video about the terrible romantic ideas promoted in movies is a good end to my series of posts. I’m just stunned about how many people think like this in real life. Including people who mock Hallmark movies. I watch… Continue reading Toxic Romantic Myths in Movies
Castle Notes
Again, in my drafts since October. I’ve been on a Castle binge (and seriously, way more addicted than to any show that I’ve watched in awhile, years maybe). My sister introduced me to castle almost a decade ago, I want to say when season 4 or 5 was running, I think it was before it… Continue reading Castle Notes
Castle Goes Sideways
Also in my drafts since October. So I was going merrily along watching Castle into season 6 thinking, wow, no sour note, hey I can watch it to the end. Ended on a dramatic note, not anything out of character or style. Started on the sour note. Castle and co. have worked and known each… Continue reading Castle Goes Sideways
October Shows and Quotes (Loki, Only Murders in the Building, Castle, Boy Meets World, M*A*S*H)
I don’t see that I posted this, and I love sharing excellent quotes, so here goes. Loki quotes. I loved the first two I think episodes before amazingly poor writing ruined it. “A double cross by history’s most reliable liar.” “I don’t need your sympathy.” “Good, because I’m running out of it.” “I’d never stab… Continue reading October Shows and Quotes (Loki, Only Murders in the Building, Castle, Boy Meets World, M*A*S*H)
Spring Plans
I’ve updated my Spring list in my pages above. I will add to it as I find more Spring ideas and videos. I highly suggest Darling Desi’s 🌷How To Feel Like Springtime🌷 books, movies, tv shows & activity recommendations. I welcome any suggestions as well. I’m rather bummed that I’m already currently being fried/steamed with 80+… Continue reading Spring Plans
Tornados
I’m not good at paying attention to the weather, usually relying on my mom and grandparents. But several occurrences have helped to motivate me to be more aware, ranging from inconvenient (England level of rain last spring) to terrifying (snowy/icy commutes from the city) to sobering (the devastating Mayfield tornado a couple hours southwest and… Continue reading Tornados
Thomas Hardy and American Literature
I realized I dislike both Thomas Hardy novels and American classics for the same reason. Perfectly capable characters make mind bogglingly stupid choices over and over and over and over and over again and the record of the consequences is presented as a tragedy. No it ain’t, it’s a farce.
April Showers
“Snow in April is abominable,” said Anne. “Like a slap in the face when you expected a kiss.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Ingleside
Bridgerton Thoughts
When I saw the previews back in December 2020, I wanted to watch it and just should have immediately done so because after it came out, everyone on the internet, ew folks, don’t embarrass yourselves. So I will never fully rid myself of that icky feeling. And I couldn’t avoid it. I’ve actively avoid reading… Continue reading Bridgerton Thoughts

Death on the Nile
BEWARE SPOILERS INCLUDED IN THIS REVIEW!!! Saturday I went to see Death on the Nile with two of my sisters and my sister in law. I don’t go to see movies much (averaging less than one a year?), and between covid and fewer showtimes working with my schedule, I haven’t been since Jan of Feb… Continue reading Death on the Nile
Would You Rather: Lovely Edition
I went full-time at the beginning of the year and while I cut out my second weekend job, I still feel like I have so little time; I’ll have to do a catch up post later. As well as other posts when I can get my brain in order. I’m joining in Cordy’s Lovely Blog… Continue reading Would You Rather: Lovely Edition
