Help! I Can’t Stop Watching THOR: RAGNAROK

It’s happening again. I just can’t help myself, I don’t want to stop. I just keep at it, pressing rewind again and again. Oh, Gods! It’s all my fault. Unlike my dalliance with Divergent, my need to watch Thor: Ragnarok on an endless loop is solely my choice and not because it plays constantly on…

Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)

Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) by Florence + The Machine The looking glass, so shiny and new, how quickly the glamour fades. I start spinning, slipping out of time, was that the wrong pill to take? You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up, but will it ever be enough?…

Homebody

I’m approaching week five of self-isolation, but I haven’t yet caught the boredom bus. I see some screaming, crawling up the walls. But I’m still living comfortably, stuck on the couch. I guess I’ve always been a homebody, being stranded has never really bothered me. Adventure has been achieved by turning the pages of a…

Now Playing: Linda Ronstadt – “You’re No Good”

I haven’t been able to get this song off my mind since I watched The Sound of My Voice, the Linda Ronstadt documentary. I’ve been acquainted with her music since I was a young child, but I never really knew how much of a pioneer she was for women in rock and roll. She played…

The Perfect Day

Today was the first day of the year above seventy degrees. A warm, gentle breeze drifted in through the open windows and all you could hear was the birds playing in the trees. It was a day that resembled mid-summer rather than the early days of spring. As soon as I set foot outside, the…

Flash Poetry: Photo Challenge #1

In case you missed it, HERE is my first flash fiction photo challenge. I thought I would attempt to write a poem this time. HAPPY READING! 😀 I reached up to touch a star while my feet were still on the ground. It faltered and fell, a pinch of fire landed in my eyes. From…

Butterscotch Rice Krispies

Another installment of Cakes & Bakes? Yes, I couldn’t help myself. Stress baking is a real thing. Besides, everybody loves Rice Krispie treats. This was one my favorites as a kid and I thought you might like this recipe, too. Butterscotch tastes like peanut butter and caramel had a baby. It adds a bit of…

The Florence Pugh Cooking Show

I may be one of the few people on the planet who don’t have an Instagram account. That doesn’t mean I don’t try to keep up with the times, though. I’m hip, I know what’s going on. A few weeks ago, I noticed everyone rushing to Florence Pugh’s Instagram page. They didn’t say what, in…

Farewell Brakebills

On Wednesday night, after five seasons, The Magicians said their final farewell and took their last bow. The show’s premature and sudden cancellation was a tough blow for fans who had watched the series since the beginning. Over the years, the show became a beacon for imagination and inclusivity. No one had ever seen such…
