Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. No spoilers in this one, I swear! I don’t want to say anything that might give away any part of Blade Runner 2049. It’s pretty damn amazing, and I think that you should go …

Las Vegas
It’s taken me a few days to process the mass shooting that took place in Las Vegas this past weekend. I cannot imagine the horrors and sorrow that the victims and their families have suffered. I cannot commend enough the first responders and everyday people that risked their own lives to help and protect others. …
Backpacking on the Franconia Ridge
I think I’m beginning to see the beauty of New England now. This past weekend, Kevin and I had a friend, Andrew, visiting New Hampshire from Pennsylvania. Andrew chose a trail loop that he wanted to go backpacking on, and we would be spending a couple of nights out there. Kevin and I were ready …
Fanfiction
There seem to be two types of people: those who know what fanfiction is and those who have no idea. The former type can be broken down further into two more types: those who write and/or appreciate fanfiction and those who criticize and mock it, whether they write it or not. I fall into the …
Heading Home – Labor Day 2017
I lived in Albuquerque for almost 12 years. I went to middle and high school there, and I earned my bachelor’s degree there. I met Kevin, and we married there. For our honeymoon, we camped, hiked, and traveled all around New Mexico. We purposefully planned on spending an equal amount of time in different regions …
9/11
Never forget. It’s been 16 years, and everyone still remembers. Notice how I didn’t say only Americans remember. I’m sure that many people across the globe, allies and enemies of the U.S. alike, haven’t forgotten the events of September 11th, 2001. They have since changed the entire world. No one will forget it for years …
Heading Home – Preview
For however long we live on the east coast, we'll be visiting Albuquerque as often as we can. So I want to start a series and introduce you to my home, a place that I love and think about all the time. I'll begin by saying that we’re flying there today! This will be the …
Short Summary – Logan Lucky
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoiler alert, just in case! I was born in Arkansas and, after moving twice, I returned and spent my primary school years there. I consider myself a simple southern gal. So, I see a …
Short Summary – GoT S7 E7
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoiler alert, just in case! "The Dragon and the Wolf" It’s unbelievable that 7 weeks went by that quickly. It seems like only yesterday that I was sharing my enthusiasm about the season premiere, …
You’re an All-Star
I believe it says a lot that a band like Smash Mouth is still relevant in 2017. Granted, they released their last studio album as recently as 2012, but in only 5 years’ time, they’ve become known for something other than their music. Much like Nickelback, Smash Mouth have now become a big joke. They …
