So, back in December of 2019 — which, by my count, was about six thousand years ago — I set out a few Pop Culture themed challenges for myself to complete in this new decade. One of them was to watch all of the Walt Disney Animated Classics that had a theatrical release — so, […]
Read MoreI played basketball when I was in middle school. I’ve attended exactly one NBA game and one Harlem Globetrotters game. I have never participated in March Madness bracket. I don’t even know if I could name more than a dozen pro-basketball teams (are there even more than a dozen? I assume so, but I’m not […]
Read MoreWTF Oscars. I shouldn’t be surprised at this point. I know that. And I know there are plenty of people out there who like to espouse the “just don’t care” “the Oscars are pointless anyways” “it doesn’t matter” mantras.

Who here has watched the Great British Baking Show (aka The Great British Bake Off)? Yeah, me too. It started in December of last year, when my normal obsession with anything Christmas-related kicks in, and I watched the holiday special version featuring Baby Spice. Then, of course, I watched every other episode I could find […]

So, I’m going to admit something. I tend to avoid “Hallmark holiday” movies like the plague. I think they’re saccharine-sweet ridiculousness is just near-impossible to consume. (Yes, that’s coming from the same person who will watch pretty much any Disney Animated Classic on repeat.) However, I am also a person who weirdly loves The Prince and the Pauper stories. […]

What can I say? I mentioned on my first attempt with Disneybounding that it was addictive, and it proved to be true! On October 11, which happened to be #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, Disney posted an announcement encouraging people to Disneybound at the Parks as a princess or other female Disney character as part of their #DreamBigPrincess campaign, […]
Read MoreGuys. Leslie Knope is running for City Council. Which means she and Ben broke up. Which means I am simply TOO SAD TO BLOG ABOUT IT. I’m going to go hide out with Ron Swanson in his survivalist cabin until the pain goes away. K, bye.
