Tries! al dente Pasta Company – carba-nada egg fettuccine pasta

A few weeks ago I came across this product, the al dente Pasta Company’s carba-nada, an egg-based fettuccine. I happily tossed it into my cart, brought it home…

The Greatest Showman – A Review

This film was the cinematic equivalent to cotton candy. All light and fluffy and saccharine sweet, the memory of which would dissolve just as easily.

Spider-Man: Homecoming – A Review

I guess I should start things off by mentioning that I’m not really into Super Hero/Comic Book movies. There are a few that I like—Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1, Deadpool, and Logan for example—but they’re just not my jam. I think it’s the mountains of back story/necessary exposition (and I’m not fond of the comic book format). I probably would’ve skipped this entirely but I’d heard good things about the movie in general, about Tom Holland’s portrayal of Peter Parker, and I had a BOGO coupon for Redbox rentals so… I gave it a shot.

Loving Vincent – A Review

I first became aware of this film about six years ago. Once the trailer hit social media, friend after friend shared it with me—”You’ll love this!” “It looks right up your alley!” “This reminded me of you!” And after watching the trailer and scouring the internets for more information, I was quickly disheartened to see that it would be quite a while before this film would make it to theaters; would I even be living in a place that I’d get to see it in theaters?

Lion – A Review

A few days ago, I found myself with quite a bit of downtime—I was feeling terribly run down and on the edge of maybe slipping under the weather, so I camped out in my pj’s with a handful of supplements, a river’s worth of water, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup. What better time to catch up on my queue and what better film to start with than ‘Lion’?

Gerald’s Game – A Review

I really wish I hadn’t bothered with this movie.

Tries! International Delight One-Touch-Latte

I have had a long, at times complicated, relationship with coffee. In my early twenties I used it mostly as fuel to stay awake for ridiculous hours to meet academic deadlines, to fuel mania in studio theaters and to help me get through finals for classes that ended up being rather inconsequential. During that time I had very little standards for coffee other than it should be black and stronger than tar. Not instant. Not the trash known as decaf. And definitely not sweetened.
