I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers
Monday mornings tend to have us daydreaming, right? Today, I found myself fixated on black-billed magpies. Yes, magpies! These little birds are seriously underrated. Not only are they drop-dead gorgeous with their sleek black-and-white tuxedo look, but they’re social geniuses. They can recognize themselves in the mirror (let […]
This past Sunday, I caught the tail end of an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning about movies and the elusive cinematic experience. The interviewee was discussing the shift in how we consume films—people are now averaging two movie theater visits a year, but they’re watching around seven […]
I recently stumbled upon an article, courtesy of a TikTok deep dive (don’t judge), that featured an interview with Friends star Matt LeBlanc. Now, while Joey Tribbiani might have been all about pizza and asking “How you doin’?”, it turns out real-life Matt is all about…doing nothing. And […]
What is the last thing you learned? Here we go again, folks. It’s 6:30 a.m., and I’m watching Bloomberg morning news with my coffee in hand, pretending I care about global markets as I squint at the screen. But, as usual, something strikes me, not the stock exchange […]
Most mornings, I wake up with my dreams fully intact, vivid and in technicolor, like I’m the director of my own nightly soap opera. I’m usually a lucid dreamer, aware of my dreamland shenanigans, able to remember all the random details like the rogue penguin that showed up […]
Do you believe in fate/destiny? I’ve come to the conclusion that I believe 65% in fate. Not a full 100%, mind you, because I’m far too pragmatic for that. But let’s say a solid 65%—because sometimes we are exactly where we’re supposed to be, no matter how much […]
There’s a daily ritual in my house that I approach with both love and bleary eyes: feeding my trio of dogs. Now, I’m no Michelin-starred chef, but to my furry companions, I may as well be. Each one of them has their own specific culinary preferences, and I, […]
I have a long-standing love affair with words. Some people collect stamps, others collect coins, and I collect words. But not just any words—those esoteric ones that most people might only encounter while playing Scrabble or reading a philosopher’s manifesto. My husband loved to throw around obscure terms […]
We’ve all had that moment, right? The sweet taste of victory, no matter how big or small. Maybe it was landing the big promotion, winning a tennis match, or—like me—scoring a petty little triumph that no one else will ever care about. But here I am, two days […]
So, the Razzie nominations are out, and I have to confess something a little wild: I’ve actually seen some of these dumpster fire films. Yes, the ones that were so bad they were honored with a Razzie nod. And yet, I haven’t watched a single Oscar-nominated movie this […]
