Adulting Hurricane Maria Mrs Enginerd

Temporal, Temporal…

In Puerto Rico we have a very unique name for Atlantic based storms: temporales. We even have a song dedicated to the impact they cause in our immediate lives, the uncertainty of being in the way of the eye of a hurricane. There is something magical about that word because it describes both the temperamental […]

Atomic Blonde was a labor of love for Charlize Theron, who had to produce a female lead action movie at 40 because not one single worthy project had fallen in her lap. As a producer, she grabbed the opportunity to search for the hero she wanted to portray as an actor and she found it […]

Why I am Skipping Season 7 of Game of Thrones (GoT)

I’m not watching this upcoming season of GoT. HBO can take my money subscription wise but that will not sway me. (There are many shows in their lineup that deserve more of my time anyway, like Westworld.)

During the Emerald City Comic Con I had the idea of swinging by the QuirkBooks booth about an hour before the convention ended and walked into a frenzied discounted product sale! Woop woop!

March Madness: OSU v UCLA and Oregon v Stanford Semis WNCAA Pac-12 Hoops

I have to be honest, I have never heard the term March Madness used for female basketball. Probably their Championship tournament is not for a few more weeks or it could even be that the male team brackets are considered more important. It is a shame really because these young ladies can play hard, making […]
