It feels as if lately I am making up for lost movie-seeing time. I hadn’t gone to the movie theatre in ages before this past year. Now that I live in Los Angeles blocks away from a huge movie theatre, I can’t seem to stop myself from going […]
It has been unsually hot in Los Angeles, or at least in comparison to last year when I first moved here. I do not recall last summer being so hot here. I know LA is supposed to be hot, but last summer my sister felt chills when she […]

I will admit here front and center, I take the BuzzFeed quizzes. Do you know which ones I’m talking about? You can easily spend (waste) an hour completing 20 quizzes or so. They are beyond silly and, honestly, serve as a way for them to get back end […]
