It happened again. After months of avoiding the chilly shadows, I’ve plunged right back into the abyss of Nordic Noir. This time, it’s The Åre Murders, and I’m hooked—again. Every six months or so, I find myself back in the icy depths of Scandinavia, vicariously solving brutal murders […]
“I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden marionette. It must be wonderful—one that can dance, fence, and turn somersaults.” Now that is a quote that gets my mind spinning. I recently heard it while watching an episode of Grimm, and it struck me with its whimsical, slightly […]
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 […]
Write about your first computer. It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and while the game is entertaining, what I really look forward to are the commercials. Though, I must admit, the excitement isn’t what it used to be. Remember that Apple commercial—the one that became a seismic cultural moment? I […]
There’s something about the ridiculousness of lies that sometimes makes them amusing—especially when they spiral into the absurd. Case in point: Tony’s memorable line to Abby on NCIS, “You don’t bowl with nuns. I should have seen that coming.” I laughed, not just because it’s outlandish, but because […]
In what ways do you communicate online? Rewatching Younger recently, I came across an episode from 2016 where a character warned that we might be in the midst of a “technopanic.” Back then, it sounded a bit alarmist, like the show was trying to play with the growing […]
So, I’ve been on quite the streaming binge lately—A.P. Bio has officially consumed my life. I laughed so hard I cried at times, and by the beginning of the second season, it hit me: this show is basically a masterclass in pettiness, revenge scams, and the beauty of […]
I’ve been tuning into Bloomberg News again, and let me tell you, it’s become my daily dose of witty inspiration. Last week, it was all about stickiness—a term they threw out as if it were the key to understanding the entire economy. I thought, “Sticky like gum under […]
What’s your favorite cartoon? There’s something magical about an ensemble cast that just works. And no, I’m not talking about a perfectly curated ensemble with each character sparkling individually. I’m talking about Scooby-Doo, the ultimate team-up of lovable misfits, none of whom I ever wanted to be, but […]
This past week, I fell deep into the world of espionage. From decoding secret messages to outsmarting nefarious agents, I binged spy movies and shows like The Agency, rewatched several Mission Impossible movies, and dove into The November Man and Beirut. All these high-octane, action-packed stories reminded me […]
