One

It only takes one, One reason, One idea, One person, One thing To make a difference. It only takes a moment, A thought, For events to fall into place, To thrive, To achieve, To inspire, To build. And even though it only takes a decision, A wrong move, An inopportune choice, To bring everything down, […]

I’m Here for The Groom (A Poem)

I’m here for the man who helped me with my thermodynamic’s homework, For the dude that told my ex to back off when I left him for my now husband, For the Starcraft nerd that let me create a Space Marine fleet when the guys in the room doubted my “strategery”. I’m here for the dude […]

Turning 30 is Tricky 

Lets face it, by the time you turn the big 3-0 people expect you to have your house decorated like a Pottery Barn catalogue instead of showcasing proudly all of your Voltron action figures and memorabilia.

No One Is Immune To Divorce

One of my close friends, a divorcé himself, posted this Crackle article about cynical views of marriage. What struck me the most about the article was the claim they made that no one was immune to divorce. Very clever! The reality is some couples make it and some don’t because of irreconcilable differences that arise from the […]

Fuller House (Netflix)

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 […]

Earth One: Wonder Woman Vol. 1

Renowned comic book writers Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette created an alternate origin story for Diana, Princess of the Amazons as part of the Rebirth Earth One series cycle.

Quantico (ABC)

A procedural with continuity, covert ops and lots of sexy attitude was ABC’s response to the many cops and lawyers shows available in prime time circles. Taking the best from their hit Alias, the writers take us inside the USA’s counter terrorism and surveillance agencies for the FBI and the CIA while adding drama, intrigue […]
