And so, another year comes to a close. A banner year for me in many ways - two weeks in Europe, new job, moving back across the country - small things, really. Trumping them all (ok, but not really) is breaking my own personal record for number of films watched these last 365 days: 160 movies. I ...
Home for the Holidays
For the first time since 2011, this holiday season I didn't have to travel across the country to spend these special days with the ones I love. And that's...weird. Good weird, of course. Mostly. I guess in the past few years I've become accustomed to carving out a few days, maybe a week, to cram ...
Links I’ve Clicked: Extended Edition
I hope you closed out November with a truly lovely Thanksgiving holiday. Not only was I lucky enough to get two dinners (divorced parents bonus!), but since I didn't have to jump on a plane home for the first time in several years, I got to bring bags of leftovers home with me, too. It's a week ...
Coming Soon: December
The year in movies ends on a high note, with December offering a couple of the most anticipated movies of the year. Quentin Tarantino returns to screens, bringing his latest violent offering to screens over Christmas, the frontrunner for the Foreign Film Oscar makes a qualifying run, and Jennifer ...
Listen To This: Christmas 2015
I got a late start listening to holiday tunes this year, what with Hamilton taking up all my available ear-space for the last month or so. I set the show tunes aside long enough to dive into all the Christmas music I could handle, once again turning to Spotify for the most accessible ...
Links I’ve Clicked This Week
This week, I noticed something awesome about this new series of posts: with the weekly post looming, I find myself clicking ever more interesting articles to read on the train / in line for groceries / when I need a break at work. It's quite motivating to know that I'm going to share whatever it is ...
It Would Betray our Deepest Values
I've been crying a lot lately. Last Friday, as news of the attacks in Paris was breaking, I was fighting with my landlord about heat in my apartment. When I told him the radiators didn't turn on all night, a night that dipped into the low 30s, and he replied, "That's impossible," I broke down in ...
Open House Chicago Adventure
A few months ago, as I was in the throes of processing a move back to the midwest, I did a bit of free association writing therapy. It totally helped process some heavy shit, which got my head on a bit straighter and led to some writing I actually published: my Chicago lists. The whole point of the ...
Links I’ve clicked…recently
Here's the thing: I'm always reading something online. I'm just not always gonna remember to blog about it. So, I'll keep up this series, but I'm gonna put it out there: it might not be every Sunday. So far so good...This week, I want to include the links that caught my eye, but also a couple ...
Listen To This: You Must Remember This
I've listened to podcasts off and on for years, but it wasn't until I moved to New York that I made them a regular part of my life. Running errands, walking home from work, waiting at the laundromat for my clothes to dry...podcasts became a welcome addition to a life lived earbuds-in. My tastes ...
