I was so looking forward to the US Open this year. With Nadal’s early exit from Wimbledon, I wanted him to get right back in it and win the last major. Buuut, he… Continue reading
This quarantine has had me exploring various ways to keep myself entertained, so I’ve willingly gone down the YouTube rabbit hole and spent hours just reliving the ’90s, when everything was so simple… Continue reading
I celebrated my birthday recently. I made plans to go to my favorite Spanish restaurant, which serves the best paella and callos, with free birthday brazo de mercedes to boot. But I sadly learned that they… Continue reading

Pat Monahan’s podcast, called the Patcast, is the funniest thing ever. It’s a literal LOL-fest every week. I’ve lost sleep most nights because I can’t stop listening. Mostly he interviews bands or musicians… Continue reading
