It’s funny to think about all the things in my life that are going to be defined by being either “before” or “after” baby B was born. And currently funny in my mind is movies – I used to go to the movies a LOT. Like, go back in the movie tag here, especially in […]

Movie – Get Out
My original plan for today’s post had been to write about Black Mirror, thinking I hadn’t written about the show before. And after getting some photos from the current season, a little voice in the back of my head said, “Hey now – maybe you should just double check to see if you’ve written about […]
Movie – “The Big Short”
In 2010, my Dad asked if I was interested in buying a house or apartment. Interest rates were very low, and there were a lot of houses on the market due to the recent downturn. I said no at the time because I didn’t have any savings which I could devote to a down payment, and […]
Personal – Oscar Party!
I love to host a good party. When I was in graduate school, I hosted about 3 or 4 gatherings for friends to watch awards shows, because that’s the kind of person I am. The only problem is that having parties and living in a cozy apartment are not usually conducive. Fortunately, I’ve figured out a […]
Movies – Oscar Roundup
When you’re on a quest to see as many of the Oscar-nominated films as possible, and it’s getting to the last minute and so many are out of the theaters, what do you do? You turn to what you have. In this case it means Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Video on Demand services. None of […]
Movie – Shaun the Sheep
As a complete-ist, I have to finish as much of a thing as possible. So when watching Oscar-nominated movies, I’m obligated to watch the animated features as well, because I have to. It’s totally not because I want to. Except maybe for this one. Ok, all of them. I really like animated movies, and those […]
Movie – “Sicario”
Watching movies for the Oscars is hard. Because not all of them are movies that you would normally go to see if you were just heading out for an evening at the cinema. So while I’d heard about “Sicario”, it’s not necessarily one that I would have chosen to go see if I were spending […]
Movie – “Brooklyn”
Another week, another movie for my #Oscarwatch2016. This time, I went to see Brooklyn. Again, I went by myself because the boy would be working late, and I didn’t imagine he’d miss seeing it. I was correct. But it was still very good, and he might have liked it. You might like it too – […]
Movie – “Spotlight”
During the snow days, there were only so many ways to amuse myself at home before I just needed to get out of the house. And since the roads near us were fairly well cleared, and I only needed to use major roads to get to a movie theater, I decided to head outdoors and […]
Movie – “The Danish Girl”
Every year, I like to watch as many of the Oscar nominated films as possible. This year, I was lucky enough to have seen 10 of the nominated films before nominations came out. But since there are 57 total nominated films -many of which are still in theaters – I knew I had some work to […]
