It was only supposed to be a music weekend devoted to U2 concerts, but somehow my trip to Singapore also turned into a food trip where every meal (or almost) was delectable. Dinner… Continue reading
Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks is more than just a book to me. Here’s why. First of all, this is Tom Hanks we’re talking about. When it comes to celebrities, I either love… Continue reading
Someone once commented on one of my posts here, “Thanks, buddy!”. It seemed very bro-y to me, so I think I should clear up that I’m not really a Mister. That’s just the… Continue reading
This is probably an old debate, and one we’ll never get the answer to, but I think it’s a fun question to consider nonetheless. I haven’t done Classic Movie Monday in a while,… Continue reading
October 2. Monday. The story is about the unluckiest woman alive. A rookie cop, she spends her first shift with the ghosts of a mass-murdering family. They start off slow, little movements here, a door… Continue reading
October 1. Sunday. I decided that I would challenge myself this month and actually commit to something. October is one of my favorite months because it’s just so chill and happy. But I… Continue reading
The official video is here! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bono this happy. Just look at him! As if being on a tour bus in New York City is the… Continue reading
I never thought that Northanger Abbey would be my downfall. I started my Jane Austen project two years ago, to the day! I thought it was a reasonable goal to read all her novels… Continue reading
I am in love with this band. It’s no secret. I love them with all my heart. And hearing a new song that’s this good only makes me happier about how much I… Continue reading
It starts off with the violent rape of a ten year old black girl named Tonya (RaéVen Kelly) by two white men. Her father Carl Lee Hailey (Samuel L. Jackson) then murders the… Continue reading
THIS. IS. IT. The long-awaited new music from the best band in the world is finally here. After some genius subtle marketing – where lucky fans (not me! hmph) received letters in actual… Continue reading
The Script have finally done what they’ve been threatening to do since their last album, No Sound Without Silence. They’ve turned into a dance pop group. The leadoff single, “Rain”, is catchy with an… Continue reading
The year I discovered Michael Jackson was, sadly, the year he passed away. Yes, I had heard of “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” long before that, but I never really paid attention. My falling… Continue reading
Nurse Lee opens the episode by telling us that she believes night time is for women, to which I say, NOOOO! She’s bicycling through a dark, deserted alley in the East End looking… Continue reading
Hi everyone! My mama asked me if I can write for her bloggy thing, because today is National Dog Day. Yay! My name is Patches, and I’m a Shih Tzu. I first met… Continue reading
Well, technically they’re new old books, but isn’t this a wonderful haul? I got Alan Jacobs’ The Narnian, a biography of C.S. Lewis; The Complete Illustrated Works of Lewis Carroll; Joseph J. Ellis’ The Founding Brothers; and because I’ve been… Continue reading
I missed my blog! For the past three weeks I’ve been struggling with terrible shoulder and back pain, and though I want to say that it’s because of a cool reason like a… Continue reading
The GA (General Admission or floor section) at U2 shows has always intimidated me. It seemed like a world unto itself, with its own lines, rules and leaders, kind of like a street… Continue reading
Hate, dislike, loathe, and despise are very strong words. But they aptly describe my feelings for all the women on this list. I know what you’re thinking, “All she does with her time… Continue reading
The best part about Ocean’s 11 is the ending. Which is not to say that the movie is bad, but there is a long, slow build-up before anything starts happening. That closing scene of Sinatra… Continue reading
I went to the mall recently and was surprised to see a Christmas setup. Can you believe that? It’s JULY. What the hell? I cannot handle this pressure!
I love the feeling of “discovering” a new old song and connecting with it immediately. Case in point, JP Cooper’s “In The Silence”. He sounds so bluesy and soulful, reminiscent of one Mr.… Continue reading
