While working on a DIY project, I trolled the internet for ideas and found a list of inspirational Walk the Moon lyrics. I am nothing if not a copycat, hence this post.

Why I love “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
I watch some shows that aren't the best. It's rare that I find a TV show that I like that's actually good. For example, despite what nostalgia would have me believe, Digimon is terrible. My friends love Marvel; I'm undecided. I didn't start taking Marvel seriously until "The Avengers" came out, so call me a bandwaggoner… Continue reading Why I love “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”

MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: “I’ll Cover You (Reprise)” from Rent
So far, I've never attended a funeral. Christian funerals have a different focus than others. Even the word "funeral" is avoided; many Christians prefer "celebration of life." Because we believe the deceased person is better off in heaven and we will see them again, there's an emphasis on joy rather than sadness. I don't disagree… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: “I’ll Cover You (Reprise)” from Rent
BOOK REVIEW: Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot
The premise: It's been 6 years since the last Princess Diaries was published. Forever Princess ended the series on a good note, wrapping up every plot thread and relationship while hinting at future possibilities. Royal Wedding picks up 8 years after Forever Princess. Mia is living in the Genovian consulate, plagued by paparazzi. Her father is (once again) losing the race for Genovian… Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot
MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: A Chorus Line
A Chorus Line is my mom's favorite musical. Though it's not my favorite musical, I have a soft spot for it because of her and because of its story. If you've never seen A Chorus Line, go see it live or get your hands on a recorded performance. Don't waste your time on the 1985 movie. "Let Me… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: A Chorus Line

Why I love and hate “The 100”: THE ROMANCE
WARNING: Major spoilers for Season 1 of "The 100" ahead I know people who dislike romance, especially when it distracts from more important plot elements. In my view, there's no such thing as too much romance. Okay, that's not true. I get how frustrating it can be when a subpar romance takes over a great story.… Continue reading Why I love and hate “The 100”: THE ROMANCE
MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Fruits Basket
I'm fairly certain my parents wanted to burn my Fruits Basket collection after they found me sobbing over it multiple times last summer. Fruits Basket is a massively popular shoujo manga that was later adapted into a successful but unsatisfactory anime that left out many of the manga's darker plotlines and themes. Here's what you need… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Fruits Basket
MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Fullmetal Alchemist
Whatever WordPress tells you, it's Monday where I am. I was going to do an post on "Up," but I'm "Up"-ed out. Instead, I'm going to focus on something worse. Far worse. Fair warning for those who haven't watched "Fullmetal Alchemist": this is a HUGE spoiler for the first season. HUGE. It will ruin your… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Fullmetal Alchemist
