Movie: Easy A

There is so much to love about this movie, so much.

The self that Olive describes in the promo, the "non-entity", yeah that was me in school for the most part.  And then I got to junior high and I was bullied.  This followed me into high school and I went out on independent study for my last semester of junior year. Coming back for ( Read more... )

Song: Love in America by JTX

I love this song, just hearing it can make me instantly happy.  It always make me want to get up and dance, and I don't dance. One of the things I love about it is its reference to IHOP.  Yeah, it always comes back to food for me.

But yeah, this is a happy song and, unfortunately, I turn to it to get my happy on more ( Read more... )

I read this book for the first time sometime during 8th grade, it might have been assigned reading as we were learning about the Holocaust. We also went to the Museum of Tolerance that year.

Learning about the Holocaust was deeply traumatic. When you go the Museum of Tolerance, you're given a photo ( Read more... )

TV Show: Against the Wall

This show premiered on Lifetime last summer and, after it finished its 13-episode run, Lifetime cancelled it.  The show was about a female fourth generation cop who had just made detective, the only problem being she joined Internal Affairs which displeased her cop father and three cop brothers.

It was such a good show and ( Read more... )

Movie: The A-Team

If you don't know this about me already, let me just say that I am not one who must only watch serious and meaningful films.  I see nothing wrong with popcorn movies and this movie is definitely not a serious film.  This movie is hilarious and the eye candy is plentiful, all in all a rather enjoyable film to watch.  I adore Liam ( Read more... )

Song: Between a Mother and a Child by Chely Wright

The first song I remember hearing by Chely was called "Shut up and Drive".  I tend to be a song person, I'm a fan of songs and not necessarily of singers but Chely is one of the few that shows up in iTunes more than once or twice.

This isn't my favorite song by her but it is a song that I love even ( Read more... )

Book: Between Mist and Midnight by Kathleen O'Brien

My mother loved to read, particularly Harlequin romance books. There was a bookshelf in the hallway just outside of my bedroom with a bunch of her books. I shared her love of reading and when I was about nine, I snuck a book off the shelf to read. I'm not sure why I took the book, perhaps it was ( Read more... )

TV Show: The Big Bang Theory

Video.
I was very late to this party, I started watching season one on May 7, 2012 and finished season four today...still waiting for season five to download. I was bored one day and my friend linked me to a Shenny fic and I was hooked. I thought it was odd to be into a pairing and not to have watched the show, so I ( Read more... )

Movie: Bottle Shock

I love this movie and not just because Alan Rickman is in it.

The father/son relationship between Bill Pullman and Chris Pine's characters is interesting, timeless in a way but I thought was also very apropos for the time period especially the boxing bit for some reason.  I could have done without the love triangle between  Bo, ( Read more... )

I have visited New York City on three occasions now and I fall in love with the city a little bit more each time. I am always so happy and excited when I'm in the city and have such great memories and when I want to relive those feelings, I put this song on. In my mind, this song *is* ( Read more... )
