With A Little Help From My Friends…

10,000 messages later, my WhatsApp reads like a letter to the ghosts of Christmas past. Crushes, good and bad memories, teacher’s pets and those who were chosen by the thug life shared their stories of triumph and sorrow with the classmates that saw them grow up and evolve from K-12 and beyond.

Stranger Things: 80s Sci-Fi Meets Netflix

When I started to watch Stranger Things I thought to myself: “What will future generations think about and 80s looking show filmed for release in 2016?”. It was so well produced that the 1980s items, dress and slang had me believe it was an actual 80s series. If I hadn’t grown up seeing Mathew Modine […]

Keep Nerd Weird

In many ways we nerds are a different breed. The stereotype alone doesn’t work to our favor either. From strange hobbies to our devotion for science fiction and fantasy, our likes and dislikes are not understood by the average Muggle. When most argue about who wore it best, we argue about the coolest captain of […]

Illusion v. Expectations

Every so often a post pops up on social media about people’s expectations. In many cases, the point of the message is as follows: If your expectations are too high, and no one meets them, lower them but if they constantly exceed they may be too low. How can you decide which one is the […]

Fuller House (Netflix)

Nostalgia is a funny thing and depending on the generation, it actually serves as a cash cow. Netflix has managed to, yet again, find another reason to recruit subscribers by producing a series to continue or expand one of the 90s most beloved shows: Full House. As the first of the reunion shows, Fuller house […]

Paranoid (Netflix)

British accents. Police procedural. Innocent victim gunned down in the middle of a kiddie park while her child watches. Big Pharma conspiracy theories. Romance, sex and deep meaningful relationships. Real characters with great rapport. The bad guys are the Americans? These are a few of my favorite things about the Netflix drama Paranoid. Set in […]
