  • “Come to Jesus” with MTV

    Movie/Music Monday It’s time for us to have a “come to Jesus” meeting with Mtv. I don’t know if those kind of meetings are called that anywhere other than here in the south, but basically, it’s a meeting where we’re blunt. We demand answers, and we also demand action to rectify a problem. Last night… →

  • More Music to Analyze

    Flashback Friday This time last year…well, a few months before this time to be exact, I went on a little journey through all of Taylor Swift’s discography. She had announced that a new album, The Life of a Showgirl, was going to drop on October 3rd. I posted on Threads that I only knew Taylor’s… →

  • She’s a Psycho!

    Flashback Friday If you were a teenager in the 90s like I was, there was a very important decision you had to make. Well, if you were a girl. I don’t know that guys cared about this. You had to decide if you were team Backstreet Boys: Or team N’Sync: I was team Backstreet Boys.… →

  • 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… →

  • Ladies and Gentlemen…

    Flashback Friday Ladies and gentlemen…once again, Katy Perry! I haven’t been to a lot of concerts in my life. Always admired my friends who went to great shows, but somehow I never thought that I could go see great concerts. I did see New Kids on the Block one time on one of their Mix… →

  • 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.… →

  • Nicolas Cage and Taylor Swift

    Movie/music Monday Usually on Saturdays, Josh and I have a conversation about what to watch that night. We try to decide between watching a new movie or something we’ve seen over and over. I had a promotional credit for Prime so we scrolled on there to find a movie this past Saturday. We settled on… →

  • Brave

    Music/movie Monday I was listening to my “inspirational” playlist in my car the other day. The song “Brave” by Sara Bareilles came up. This is one of the first songs I added to this playlist. The song came out in 2013 and even back then this song resonated with me. In fact, back then, it… →

  • Good Movie, Good Soundtrack

    Movie/music Monday Today is a combo movie and music reflection. There are certain songs that I’ve heard lately that made me want to watch a certain movie. A few months back, Josh and I rented “The Fall Guy”. It’s a movie based on the 80s tv show. It stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. I… →
