For the Movie Buff in Us All
If you’re anything like me, you have oodles of useless movie trivia in your brain. It sits there doing no one any good until you’re at a party and you overhear someone saying, “Who that actress from the Scream movies?” Of course you then cut your friend off mid-sentence to lean over and say, “Neve […]

It’s not the biggest weekend at the box office, but that’s fine with me as I’m still playing a little catch up. My mpm (movies per month) has seen a steep decline this year as my other hobbies edge in on my time. So I’m thankful for weekends like this where there’s nothing I’m dying […]

5 Seasons, 62 Episodes, 1 Amazing Journey: Breaking Bad
On September 29th, TV’s Breaking Bad ended its ground-breaking run. It premiered on January 20, 2008, but I didn’t start watching until 2011 when Steph introduced the show to me with its fourth season. I was hooked immediately.
