I love tea and books…and both are better when hot.

While lying in bed last night, my mind was racing about what to blog about next.  And I got to thinking…what would the Harry Potter books be like if Hermione Granger had been the protagonist rather than Harry?  Of course Harry probably has the more interesting story, what with the whole “Chosen One” business, but [...]


There have been hundreds of TV shows that have come and gone throughout my 32 years of life, many of those lost and never to be thought of again (because who else has really heard of “The Young Riders” besides me?)  And lost among all those shows are the forgotten actors.  Some went on to [...]


This question was posed to me by my husband – who rarely reads my blog, by the way – when I was pondering to myself about what to write about.  And even though he doesn’t regularly read this awesome blog, he actually posed a valid question.  Why don’t I ever write about music? Well, the [...]


Back in the day, when it came to awards shows like the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, I knew it all.  I did research on movies months before the shows were on, even months before the nominations were announced, because I was that much in the know.  And then on Oscar or Globe night, [...]


If you were a teenage girl back in the 80s and 90s, you may have noticed Hollywood’s way of getting you into the theater:  cute boys.  They knew that if they cast the movie with 99% boys and at least 95% of them were cute, they were guaranteed a strong teen female showing at the [...]

For the third week in a row, Mission: Impossible 4 is the number one movie at the box office, which proves to the world that people actually still like Tom Cruise.  They’re calling it the best Mission: Impossible movie yet, which doesn’t really mean much to me since I haven’t seen one since the second [...]


Everybody loves a good dance movie.  Okay, maybe not everyone.  Maybe just me.  I love movies about dancing.  I’m not talking about movies where dancing takes place, I’m talking about movies that are specifically about the art of dancing.  These movies are rarely Oscar-worthy (excluding Black Swan, which I haven’t even seen yet, so I won’t [...]


Once again that time has come, the time where we say goodbye to another year and hello to one full of hope and promise.  Back in the day, the turning of a new year used to be a huge deal to me.  My friends and I would always reflect on all the fun stuff that [...]
