Why I Wish We Enjoyed Things As Adults the Same Way We Did as Children

1 Comment

I apologize for the incredibly convoluted and confusing title but it was the best I could come up with so stick with me.

Today is my day off and my husband is currently working an eight hour shift so, of course, I had to decide what to do with my day off. I always feel sort of lazy when I don’t DO anything but I do have to remind myself that relaxing and watching movies and tv shows, reading books that I’ve neglected for days, weeks and months is a good way to spend a day off. I was continuing my watch of Criminal Minds (currently on season 11!) and it was making me WAY too emotional so I decided to switch to Star Wars and begin a marathon. I’m finishing up Phantom Menace as I write this and guys, I remembered how much I actually really like this movie and its given me a lot of thought on why I have thought differently for so long.

Short N’Sweet Book Review: By the Book by Jasmine Guillory

1 Comment

Welcome to the Short N’ Sweet Book Review! For the ten years that I’ve been reviewing books on this blog, I’ve written long, wordy reviews that, let’s be honest, not a lot of people are probably reading. I’ve recently  decided to shorten those reviews and get straight to the point – what is this book about, who wrote it, where you can find and a short review on what I loved, liked and maybe thought could be better.

Today’s review is the second in a series of adult romances, fairy tale retellings in a modern day world, with this one focused on a fun retelling of Beauty and the Beast – By the Book by Jasmine Guillory!

Obi Wan Kenobi Episodes One and Two – Review and Reactions!

Leave a comment

This Memorial Day weekend has been a celebration of all things Star Wars. The 25th was the 45th anniversary of the first movie. Friday night, Daniel and I went to Star Wars night at Angel Stadium and the iconic convention, Star Wars Celebration, took over the town all weekend. I went back in 2015 and it was some of the best memories ever. I wasn’t able to go this year, just couldn’t afford it after the wedding, but I definitely had FOMO all weekend, especially with all the crazy announcements coming out.

It’s okay though. Because there was something for all of us that couldn’t be at the convention and that was the highly anticipated premiere of the Obi Wan Kenobi television show.

Experiencing The Legend of Zelda for the First Time!

Leave a comment

I grew up a PlayStation kid.

Besides playing the early Pokemon games on my brother’s GameBoy that I begged him to borrow all the time until I got my own, our family never owned any other system. We grew up relatively poor so we never had any of the systems that existed when I was really young, like the Super Nintendo, and our first console was the original PlayStation, which was originally bought because my dad really liked Resident Evil, which is where my own love for the franchise came from. We got the PlayStation 2 as a gift for Christmas or something like that and then I’ve personally owned both the PlayStation 3 and 4. Perhaps I’ll own a 5 at some point but…well I’m not holding my breath for anytime soon haha.
