Whatever Best Of 2022: Athena Edition

Posted on December 29, 2022 11 Comments

Hello, everyone, and welcome to this year’s “Best Of” for my contributions to this site! I didn’t start posting this year until May, so I have slightly less content to choose from in terms of favorite posts of the year, but here’s a few of them: Day 3 of Santa Monica Final Day of Santa […]

Whatever News: The Return of Athena

Posted on May 16, 2022 44 Comments

A housekeeping note that makes me pretty happy: Athena is coming returning to the regular rotation here at Whatever, for the summer at least. You can expect more of her particular brand of writing, with reviews of products and entertainment, personal essays and various other things she’s thinking about and wants to share. You know, […]

I Have An Earworm And I’m Bestowing It Upon You

Posted on November 14, 2023 8 Comments

Last year, the band Bad Omens came out with an album called The Death of Peace of Mind, and I didn’t discover it until recently. Ever since I found it, I’ve been pretty hooked on them. I thought no song could top the one that the album is named for, “THE DEATH OF PEACE OF […]

Look At My Amazing New Stickers!

Posted on November 1, 2023 6 Comments

I am lucky enough to have two very kind friends in California that send me the most amazing things, and this week they sent me some seriously awesome stickers and goodies that I simply must share with you! You might have seen my other post from earlier this year where one of them sent me […]

Trying Tinned Fish

Posted on October 26, 2023 43 Comments

I have a strange new interest, and if you couldn’t tell from the title, it’s tinned fish. Trust me when I say I had zero interest in tinned fish until recently, when I somehow stumbled upon TinnedFishTok, which is just like a section of TikTok in which enthusiastic tinned fish enjoyers post about their new […]

Close To Home: Luca Bistro

Posted on October 24, 2023 25 Comments

After visiting the wonderful Household Books in Cincinnati, I thought I might as well grab some dinner since I had driven two hours to the big city. I wasn’t sure where to eat, so I looked up places around me and finally settled on one called Luca Bistro. It advertised itself as French cuisine, and […]

Small Business Saturday: Household Books

Posted on October 21, 2023 14 Comments

If you read my post over an event I went to recently called Plates & Pages at Five on Vine in Cincinnati, you may recall me talking about the bookstore that was the “pages” part of the event. I enjoyed the pop-up shop at the event and conversing with the owner so much that I […]

I Read A Book This Year

Posted on October 3, 2023 121 Comments

I read one book in 2020, one book in 2021, one book in 2022, and so far in 2023, I have read one book. This makes me kind of sad. I’ve talked about it on here before, but I used to love reading when I was younger, and ever since I became an adult, I […]

My Experience At Plates & Pages

Posted on September 29, 2023 38 Comments

Never before have I been so excited to share a dining experience with you all. Today I’m here to tell you about Plates & Pages, an extraordinary event put on by a restaurant in Cincinnati called Five on Vine. I had never heard of them before, but it’s the sister restaurant to Losanti Steakhouse, which I absolutely […]

This Is A Post About Roller Skating

Posted on September 27, 2023 43 Comments

I might have lied a little bit. This post isn’t as much about roller skating as it is about the lack thereof. At the beginning of the summer, I decided I needed a new hobby. One that involved physical activity and outdoor time. Because I don’t get enough of either of those things. Roller skating […]

Trying Out A New Recipe: Half Baked Harvest’s Chewy Maple Brown Sugar Blondies

Posted on September 21, 2023 22 Comments

About a week ago, the temperature had dropped just enough for it to feel like a real fall day. Of course, now we are back up to the 80’s despite it being the end of September, but for one glorious day it was cool and breezy, and I knew I wanted to make something that […]

I Went To A Bourbon Pairing Event Despite Disliking Bourbon

Posted on September 12, 2023 53 Comments

There’s something about pairing events that really interests me. I love the idea that there is a specific drink that goes with a specific food based on experts’ opinions on their flavors, and the way they interact with or compliment each other. I’ve been to a few wine pairing events, and once opted for the […]

Come With Me On A Journey Through Six Caramel Flavors

Posted on September 5, 2023 13 Comments

Back in July, I bought a bunch of pretzels from pretzels.com and did a ranking post on them. Turns out, that company also owns caramels.com. And you know who loves caramels? Me. Also, my dad, so he’s here to help with the ranking of the six caramel flavors I decided to try out. Much like […]

A Night On The Town Featuring Candlelight Concerts and Losanti Steakhouse

Posted on August 29, 2023 20 Comments

You may remember a post of mine from two months ago over the Best of Hans Zimmer Candlelight Concert I went to in Cincinnati. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to go to another Candlelight Concert. Not even a week after seeing the first one, I got myself a ticket to one in August, and patiently […]

A Weekend Jam

Posted on August 18, 2023 2 Comments

Hello, my lovely readers! It’s Friday, and I wish to bestow upon you a song that you can spend all weekend jamming out to. I know I certainly have it on repeat, at least. Here’s Conan Gray’s new single, “Never Ending Song”: Don’t worry, it’s not actually a never ending song, in fact it’s only […]

Close To Home: Eight Green Lilies

Posted on August 15, 2023 10 Comments

Most of you probably know by now that I’m a bit of a boba tea fanatic. As such, I was excited to hear that a local Bradfordian with a passion for boba was setting up shop right in the middle of my little town. Now, I’m happy to report that Eight Green Lilies has finally […]

IUDs: Anxieties and Realities

Posted on August 10, 2023 111 Comments

I had only been sixteen for two months when I got my first IUD. Partly because of my age, they recommended me the smallest one, the Skyla. It’s a hormonal IUD that lasts three years. It was the most pain I’d ever experienced. It hurt, and I was alone, and I was glad when it was […]

An Addendum To My “Crafted & Cured” + “Speakeasy Miso” Posts

Posted on August 8, 2023 13 Comments

You may remember two posts of mine from earlier this year, both of which are part of my “Close To Home” series. One was over Crafted & Cured (a charcuterie restaurant) and the other featured a ramen shop called Speakeasy Miso. I’m here today to post important updates about both of these amazing restaurants! The first […]

A Review Of “Oppenheimer”

Posted on August 3, 2023 23 Comments

As someone who doesn’t know much about science, had never heard the name Oppenheimer before, and has nightmares about nukes frequently, Oppenheimer might not really seem like a movie I would watch. Honestly, I’m not sure I would’ve watched it if it wasn’t for the whole “Barbenheimer” event, and the fact that it’s a Christopher Nolan […]

A Spoiler Free Review Of “Barbie”

Posted on August 1, 2023 22 Comments

Barbie was a movie that I saw a lot of marketing for, but despite all its marketing, I wasn’t really sure what it was going to be about. I didn’t know what to expect when I went to see it opening night, but I figured it would at least be a light, fun, colorful, and decently […]
