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! Hollywood does not make movies like this one anymore. That’s not just an old saying being applied here; that’s a fact. It just doesn’t. Much in the …
This Is Halloween
I really like Halloween! I can’t put it up there with Thanksgiving or Christmas, just because those holidays have more personal and familial meanings to me. But Halloween is such a fun holiday. Dressing up in a costume, trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins, watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, decorating, and going to Halloween parties are things that …
Little Post of Little Things
Every day, while I’m at work, I get away from my desk, go out of the office, and take a short walk. This whole week, it’s been cool and breezy, but with sunny skies, perfect weather as summer transitions to fall. One morning, as I kissed my husband goodbye before he left for work, he …
Definition
In a day, A week, A month, Or year, We do things that define us, Whether we know it or not, Whether someone sees it or not. We hold onto that definition And remember ourselves. In five years, Ten, Or twenty, We do many things that matter, Whether it's doing good, Whether it's making mistakes. …
Short Summary – Blade Runner 2049
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 …
