A “Spot”light On Comedic Villains

Posted on June 22, 2023 19 Comments

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has been out for a hot minute now, and with it has come a million and one reviews of the film. Originally, I was going to add to this onslaught of reviews, but I don’t think y’all need another person telling you how amazing it is. Though, admittedly, it is amazing, and there […]

A Review of Candlelight Concerts: The Best of Hans Zimmer

Posted on June 16, 2023 20 Comments

I have never been a fan of concerts. Usually, I find them to be too loud and too crowded. If we’re being totally honest, I just don’t care for live music as a whole. It never seems to sound as good, and I never got the appeal of paying money to see what I can […]

Keeping Up With The Joneses, Part 2: The Temple of Doom

Posted on June 14, 2023 40 Comments

After so many people had commented on my post that I would dislike this Indiana Jones movie even more than Raiders, I had very low expectations for The Temple of Doom. Somehow, it was even worse than I was expecting. The Temple of Doom was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, and one […]

A Much Needed “Closet” Clean-Out

Posted on June 8, 2023 43 Comments

Two years ago, I posted this piece over going through my closet and cleaning out a decade worth of stuff. I talked about my hoarding tendencies, having too much stuff, being stressed out by it all, not being able to part with it, etc. While in the post I mentioned that I managed to actually […]

Keeping Up With The Joneses, Part 1: Raiders of the Lost Ark

Posted on June 5, 2023 69 Comments

In case you didn’t know, there’s a new Indiana Jones movie coming out at the end of this month called The Dial of Destiny. I keep seeing trailers for it, and I expect it to be a big hit summer movie, so I thought I should go see it. But before I do that, I knew […]

Universal Yums: May 2023 Review

Posted on May 31, 2023 13 Comments

It is the final day of May, which means I’m posting this May review on time! Woohoo! Anyways, this month’s Universal Yums country was Taiwan, and it was a very colorful spread: I loved these packages’ designs. The cute little cow, the pretty pinks, and the funky little jelly shots that were super squishy. So […]

A Quick Note On Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Posted on May 16, 2023 23 Comments

Marvel has always had a bit of a tonal issue across their cinematic universe, and even within singular franchises, such as Thor. There was one franchise in particular though that I was positive I had nailed down in terms of what to expect. Guardians of the Galaxy was one where I was sure of what […]

Universal Yums: April 2023 Review

Posted on May 11, 2023 24 Comments

Yes, it is in fact May, but I only just now got around to eating the April Universal Yums Box, so here is a late April review! This month was Belgium, and here’s all the goodies: Right off the bat, this looked like a very promising spread. There’s tons of chocolate, which is to be […]

Visiting the Darke County Food Truck Festival

Posted on May 9, 2023 18 Comments

I’ve never been the biggest fan of food trucks. I always thought that if I wanted to go and eat somewhere, I’d like to be inside a building, not outdoors, and be able to sit and eat comfortably. So food trucks just never really fit the bill for me. However, ever since I started working […]

Two Beauts From The Bradford Public Library Sale

Posted on April 26, 2023 33 Comments

Yesterday, my dad and I went to our local library’s book sale. I was on the hunt for old cookbooks, and started rifling through the adult nonfiction to find some gems. I ended up finding three cookbooks total, one of which I already have, so I only ended up getting two. They were a quarter […]

Mama Mia! The Super Mario Bros. Movie Sucked!

Posted on April 24, 2023 16 Comments

I had low expectations when I went to the theater to see the The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but somehow it was worse than I was prepared for. Maybe that’s my fault for having at least a shred of hope going in, as I had seen from several trusted sources that it wasn’t actually that […]

Close To Home: Speakeasy Miso

Posted on April 19, 2023 19 Comments

For a few months, I’d had my eye on an upcoming restaurant called Speakeasy Miso, as I patiently waited for them to open their doors in downtown Troy. Last week, they held a soft opening to showcase their drinks and izakaya style bar food, and I jumped at the opportunity to finally try them out. […]

Universal Yums: March 2023 Review

Posted on March 30, 2023 16 Comments

Welcome, everyone, to another Universal Yums review! The last one I did was in November, and then I paused my membership because the holidays were coming up and I knew I was going to be too busy/too full of holiday goodies to be able to focus on snack boxes. But the pause-period is over, and […]

Trying Out A New Recipe: Iced Lemon Loaf

Posted on March 22, 2023 23 Comments

I haven’t baked anything in a while, and it was starting to make me sad, so I said to myself, well why don’t I just bake something? So I did! I chose this lemon loaf for a couple different reasons, the first being that I scrolled past it on Instagram and thought it looked good […]

Quick Note On JoCo

Posted on March 13, 2023 10 Comments

Hey, everyone! I’m back from my amazing week aboard the JoCo Cruise. And what a week it was! Per usual, it was full of friends, fun, and sun, as well as fantastic events and interesting ports. This JoCo was my sixth, which meant I already had so many friends from previous years onboard to reconnect […]

For today’s feature, I’m so excited to be sharing Crafted & Cured with y’all, because they just opened earlier this month right in the heart of downtown Troy. Crafted & Cured specializes in […]

Exercise Update

Posted on February 22, 2023 56 Comments

Back in November, my dad and I started working out together at Planet Fitness. My goal at the time was to lose twenty pounds by March. It seemed realistic and achievable to me, given the time frame. Alas, that didn’t end up happening. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve even gained weight since then. After […]

It’s Monday, Have A Banger Song To Get You Through It

Posted on February 20, 2023 6 Comments

I had never heard of the band Sleep Token until the past year or so, and their music was definitely not the type I usually listened to. However, there was something about their sound that was unique to me and I liked it. Recently, they came out with a new song that is just unbelievably […]

My Long Awaited Taste Test of Mary O’s Irish Soda Bread Scones

Posted on February 18, 2023 8 Comments

If you follow Humans of New York, you may remember about a year and a half ago when HONY did a story over an Irish bar owned by a woman named Mary O’Halloran. After the bar got shut down due to the pandemic, HONY created a special fundraiser where you could pay $30 dollars for […]

Close To Home: Swan House Tea Room

Posted on February 14, 2023 27 Comments

Today, I visited somewhere I have been wanting to go for months, and I am so excited to finally be writing a piece over the Swan Room Tea House in Findlay, Ohio! The Swan Room Tea House is located right in the heart of Findlay, just off the main street. It’s a Bracketed Italianate style […]
