You may have noticed, I’ve been on the lam in recent months, not regularly reporting my wanderings. A clandestine operation, simply referred to as trojaN horsE, occupies my time with my first assignment requiring 100% secrecy and dedication. Now, I find myself living the life of an intelligence double agent. The success of this operation…

Only one celebrity inspired me to write a fan letter – C. Thomas Howell. I was in 8th grade, an outcast in my new school (5th new school in 8 years), and he played an outcast high school Greaser in a little story turned big movie. While it boasted a pile of heartthrobs, his heart…
When you’re working on an idea that you’re not ready to share with everyone, does it put up walls preventing other creativity? Maybe that’s just me. So sorry I’ve been absent and thank you for still being here! To make it up to you, I made you a cake! I’ve been praying for a potluck…
As I spin through the musical genius known as the soundtrack for Grease 2, let me divulge to you how I longed to be Stephanie Zinoni singing her heart out from the top of the ladder about her Coool Rider! I don’t care that she sang horribly, nor that this movie was extra cheesy. It…
