Month in Review: June & July 2020

Favorite Media Are y'all even surprised by this?? 😁 I was lucky enough to see Hamilton on Broadway but never got to see the show with the original cast. The film was basically everything I wanted, and it has seriously reignited my obsession. If you can find a friend with Disney+ (or subscribe to it …

Favorite Media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEIqjoO0-Bs Have I listened to music besides Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé's "Savage (Remix)"? Yes. Do any of those songs matter? No. This song has consumed me. I listen to it while working out, in the car with the windows door, and while scaring my cat with my dance moves. I pretend I …

Favorite Media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knKhmSWFfm4 I finished season four of Lucifer and season five of The Magicians and picked up The Staircase and The Disappearance of: Natalee Holloway to try and fill the void left by both shows, but so far neither have worked.

Month in Review: November 2019

Favorite Media I started streaming Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent one day and pretty much didn't stop for weeks. There's just something about someone with a gorgeous voice singing about their romantic pain (hello, "Someone like You") that punches me right in the gut and makes my brain go 'more more more'. If you're …

Month in Review: October 2019

Favorite Media I only read four books last month, but both Trick Mirror: Notes on Self Delusion and The Last True Poets of the Sea were surprise favorites. There's just something about going into a book with no real expectations but then immediately sinking into an author's prose with the thought that, "yes, this will …
