Some people note I am quite humble. And, I love pointing that out ironically. Others note I can be quite a diva. Sometimes I’m a humble diva. It’s called layers. Or not being one-dimensional. Either way, I tend to put on a show. I’m smart and don’t hide […]
“Bored now”…one of my favotite lines from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And, it perfectly encapsulates how I felt watching X Men: Dark Phoenix. Bored, for sure and, at best. Actually, this was not just how I felt but also how my son felt. About an hour into the […]
