• Anxiety & Music

    What’s a song that changed your life? Movie/music Monday I’ve written before about Katy Perry’s song “Roar” and how much it means to me. That line about going from “zero to my own hero” is profoundly meaningful to me. Today, I’m thinking about Taylor Swift’s music. I have two playlists that have her music on… →

  • Amazon Got Our Money

    Movie/music Monday I have made repeated references to my “Inspirational” playlist on Apple Music, and also my “High School Nostalgia” list. But there’s one list that I have failed to mention. And that is the list of movies we own on Amazon Prime. It’s like a playlist. When there’s nothing on t.v. we want to… →

  • Not Enough Love

    Movie/music Monday The prompt today is giving rerun vibes. Didn’t I just write a whole post about how bad the endings of Tom Perrotta’s books are? I’m not going there again today. Since I had previously declared Mondays are for movies and music, let me use my platform here to sing the praises of Guy… →

  • Books, Movies, Travel, and…Elmo?

    Movie/music Monday It’s funny that this prompt comes up today. I just spent the weekend watching a miniseries and a movie set in England, and while the prompt is past tense, as in we have already traveled because of a movie or book, I would love to travel there in the future. Of course, I’ll… →

  • Fun Fur and a Tattoo

    Movie/music Monday Since I have dubbed Mondays as the day I post about movies and/or music, I think it’s appropriate to share the 2nd outfit from the Harry Styles Desk Goose Collection that I’m developing. Sounds so fancy right? As a reminder, it is literally just me looking at Harry Styles’ most iconic outfits and… →

  • For the First Time

    Movie/music Monday What an interesting question today! And given that it’s Movie/music Monday in my little slice of the blogging world, I’m happy to ruminate on this. I actually have a few movies that I would like to experience again for the first time. I think answers to this question have to be movies that… →

  • Pure Nostalgia

    Movie/music Monday I can’t pass up my usual movie/music Monday theme today, despite having another post published already. My other post today talked about nostalgia and things I was obsessed with as a kid. The music today is not from the time when I would say I was a kid. I was more middle to… →

  • I Still Don’t Know…Maybe

    Movie/music Monday “The Devil Wears Prada 2” opened in theaters this past weekend. I’ve previously written about how deeply that movie resonated with me, particularly the ending. This post explains it pretty well: The ending I deserve. This one also explains why I am very hesitant to see the new movie: An Ending and a… →

  • She Knew

    Movie/music Monday I posted recently about volume 7 of my journals. At least I think I did. That volume took place over only two months of my sophomore year of high school. April and May of 1998 to be exact. I was 15 years old and for those two months, my obsession with three boys… →

  • Just Right

    Movie/music Monday I’ve added quite a few “new” songs to my “Random Awesomeness” playlist recently. I still need to go back and add in some Prince, Aerosmith, and because of a clip I saw of John Fogerty on an old Conan O’Brien episode, I feel compelled to add some Creedence Clearwater Revival to my list.… →
