Sorry I've been gone awhile. I've been sick, and working on my ECP (thesis/dissertation) which I'm actually supposed to be working on right now. I was doing so well posting a blog post every day, and then this last week has just been a let down. Oh well, I'm back (temporarily). Music: I'm one of those people … Continue reading (#22) Weeklies
Book Review: Everything, Everything
If you're into YA contemporary fiction, this book might have one or two things you'll like and one or two things you don't. If I were to list the things it's about, here's what I'd come up with: A romance with the boy next door. A relationship between a girl and her mom. An illness keeping our … Continue reading Book Review: Everything, Everything
Deadpool
Mild spoilers. Nothing serious. I have been looking forward to this film for a long time (though not as long as Ryan Reynolds has). I love Deadpool. He was my introduction to comic books and he's just awesome. His humour, creativity, mercenary skills, R-rating, general quirkiness, and deep seated self-hatred all come together to create the … Continue reading Deadpool
(#21) Weeklies
Just because I'm busy all the time doesn't mean I don't still enjoy stuff. Here are this month's weeklies (because let's face it, these only ever happen every month anymore). Music: The perfect way to start off these 21st Weeklies is with a song from Twenty One Pilots, their most famous, Stressed Out. Suitable for a lot … Continue reading (#21) Weeklies
The Big Short
Disclaimer: The movie I just saw had a lot of swearing in it, so you can rest assured this post will, too. Well I'm scared to shit. I'm twenty-one years old. I still haven't completed my university degree. My subject of study is freakin' Creative Writing. I know fuck-all about Wall Street. So keep that … Continue reading The Big Short
Book Review: The Wrath & The Dawn
The Wrath & The Dawn by Renée Ahdieh. No spoilers. Sometimes I forget how important it is for a writer to read. It's been a while since my last book review. It's been a while since my last book. But diving into The Wrath & The Dawn was like riding a bike, and I finished … Continue reading Book Review: The Wrath & The Dawn
(#20) Weeklies
Yes, this Weeklies is going to be on a Thursday. It's been a crazy week and it's not even over yet, so you'll have to make do with this. I'll tell you about my week soon enough. There's a lot to catch up on. Let's start with music. https://youtu.be/b-eYbUVZedY Halsey's entire BADLANDS album got me … Continue reading (#20) Weeklies
Bridge of Spies
No Spoilers! Ah, look. WordPress has just wished me a Happy Anniversary because I signed up with them one year ago. My counter is showing 1 hour to go before it's been a year to the day this blog first went up. When I post this it'll probably be up. But I'll talk more about … Continue reading Bridge of Spies
(#19) Weeklies
These shouldn't even be called Weeklies anymore. I've had this blog for 50 weeks and this is only the 19th Weeklies I've done. But oh well. Let's see what I'm into this week. Music: Ex's & Oh's by Elle King https://youtu.be/0uLI6BnVh6w It just seems like the perfect balance between rock and pop with a touch … Continue reading (#19) Weeklies
Crimson Peak
No spoilers until halfway. I'll let you know. Crimson Peak, directed by Guillermo del Toro, is freaky yet predictable–but you don't mind at all watching it. Usually a predictable film will put me off, no matter how great everything else is. This wasn't the best film I'd ever seen and it's not going to get … Continue reading Crimson Peak
