I’ve been seeing it everywhere—this idea that we need to “touch grass.” It’s become a phrase, a movement, a gentle (or sometimes not so gentle) nudge to break away from our screens and reconnect with nature. Apparently, we’re all so stuck in our digital bubbles that the idea […]
Here I go again. My wacky news post of the week. I just have to. I need to. The world has been a whirlwind lately, with everything feeling like it’s spinning faster than a carousel on caffeine. Between global news headlines that make my head spin and personal […]
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—I need a vacation, STAT! Seriously, I’ve been talking about it for what feels like ages, dropping hints like confetti at a parade, yet somehow I’m still here… at my desk… not sipping a fruity drink on a beach or […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
