Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I watched the film Mamma Mia once in 10th grade. I vowed never again. Friends and acquaintances list Mamma Mia as one of their favorite feel-good films. I am quick to remind them how much the movie suuuuuuuucks. I hear good things about the sequel. More importantly, the sequel resulted in an excellent book tag. That's why I'm… Continue reading Mamma Mia Book Tag
Jess Glynne's new album is a great roadtrip soundtrack you probably won't remember in years to come.
What one person has on their playlist might not appeal to everyone. I'll take my chances.
Every line in this song kills me--it's about leaving great things behind, but looking forward to even better.
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.
Many of my friends don't like "Into the Woods" because after Act 1, it stops being fun. The musical transitions from a lighthearted send-up of fairy tale tropes into a dark examination of heavy themes, such as death, betrayal, and infidelity.

"Up" is my favorite Pixar movie and the first time I saw it, it ruined my life. The only other movie to make me… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Married Life
No video this week, as well as no book. Time for something a bit different, namely complaining about terrible lyrics!! Hurray! I'm disappointed in Andy Grammer. I bought his first album in 2011 and loved it, even if certain songs of his haven't aged well. Grammer dropped "Honey, I'm Good" in October of last year,… Continue reading TERRIBLE PROSE TUESDAY: Honey, I’m good
Sondheim, Sondheim, Sondheim. Astonishingly bitter and wickedly funny. Better flow and rhymes than most mainstream rappers. I became a Sondheim fan after stumbling across "Company" on Netflix a couple years ago. The only downside to liking Sondheim is he's not what you would call an optimist. I've never seen "Assassins", but I've listened to its soundtrack many times.… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: The Ballad of Booth
