My boyfriend and I recently watched Yesterday, another movie on the long list of movies to watch that we’re working our way through while doing our part by staying inside. For those who don’t know, Yesterday is a Danny Boyle film that came out last year, about a struggling musician who finds he is the …
I have written about Magic the Gathering before, but it has mostly been limited to my recap posts and mentioned in relation to Jason, my boyfriend, and how he had gotten me into the game. But now it’s been over a year and I have developed my own interest and love of Magic the Gathering. …
On the suggestion from my boyfriend, I recently read the novel Broadband by Claire L. Evans. It’s a nonfiction book about the pioneering women involved with computers throughout history, starting with Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, and more recent female entrepreneurs such as Pam Hardt-English, Stacy Horn, and Dame Wendy Hall, who tried their best to …
As I mentioned during my 2019 Review Post, I recently started being the GM (Game Master) for our weekly Pathfinder RPG game night. I am in charge of setting the scene, playing all of the non-player characters or NPCs who interact with the characters played by Jason and Zapata, and of course, manage the actions …

I recently edited the year-end wrap-up post of my boyfriend, Agent Palmer, so naturally, I thought I had better work on my own as well. While his was quite detailed, I think I will keep my review as a quick and simple recap of the highlights of my year, before starting a new year full …
On a recent episode of Moving the Needle, a podcast of which I am one of the co-hosts, we discussed the RomCom and an argument was made in support of and in opposition to the RomCom being dead. You can listen to that episode, with our special guest Dr. Sara Netzley–a journalism professor, podcaster and …
I can hardly believe that I have called Pennsylvania home for a year now. How time flies. The goal of turning a long distance relationship into a relationship under one roof, finally culminated in a cross country road trip and move one year ago. And I am happy to report, not a single regret. It’s …
You better, You better, You bet…I’m going to tell you how The Newsroom made me cry. Of all the Aaron Sorkin shows I have watched so far, this one by far has affected me the most. In just two and a half seasons, the series finale brought me to tears and then had me laughing …
