In my last article, I talked about the phrase “life’s purpose” and how I think it can sometime’s hold you back from doing the things that you love and care about. This week I want to talk about embracing the things you enjoy. In the same vein as last week, I really dislike the way…
You guys know how much I love TV right? I mean, I have written quite a few blog posts about it – like here, here, and here – it’s a deep love that has been around for awhile so when one of my old favorites showed up on Hulu, well, you know I had to…
You know I love my Television – I’m a TV girl from way back (in fact, next time I think I’ll talk about my favorite childhood shows)! I’ve covered my favorites overall and sitcoms…next is the dramas! I really didn’t think I watched too many of these as sitcoms are my jam, but as…
Last time I wrote about television, I talked about a hodge podge of various TV shows, mostly new and original series on Hulu or Netflix. Today I want to concentrate on Sitcoms – seriously, I think sitcoms were my first love. I grew up watching Punky Brewster, Facts of Life, and Growing Pains. I own…
One of my favorite movie musicals is the 1992 Newsies with Christian Bale, Max Casella (Vinnie from Doogie Howser, MD), David Moscow, Bill Pullman, Ann-Margaret (!!!), and Robert Duvall. I must have seen that thing at least 3 times in the movie theatre. I won a copy of the soundtrack on tape by entering a…
There are so many choices when it comes to television watching these days. Since we don’t have cable, we use Netflix and Hulu for our TV binge sessions and they have some amazing original series. Here’s what I’ve been watching, both new and old favorites – now with GIFs! The Handmaid’s Tale Amazing book, even…
So, I’ve somewhat left childish things behind me (except, you know Disney) but not crushes. Cute boys grow up to be handsome men – ruggedly handsome, that is. Growing up, I crushed on Joey Lawrence – had pictures of him on my binders and watched his shows, listened to his music – all the things…
I want this blog to a friendship of sorts between you, my sweet readers, and me, the crazy writer. One of the first questions I tend to ask a new friend is: Who was your first celebrity crush? It’s an amazing conversation starter. So…I’ll tell you mine, but only if you promise to tell me…
Friends, Cheers, MASH, Golden Girls, Facts of Life, and Greatest American Hero (see title – and YouTube clip). What do these shows have in common? Memorable theme songs. Even though MASH didn’t use the lyrics (suicide is painless didn’t really fit the show) the song is hummable. What happened to theme songs? Some new shows…
Okay, so last week I told you about five pop culture phenomenons that I didn’t get until it was too late (although, is it ever really too late to join a fandom?)….this week, it’s the opposite. Five things I just don’t understand – and, trust me, you’re going to be upset. 1. Mad Men. I’ve…
