    ‘ I can’t even believe I am about to say what I am about to say, but ever since watching Tuesday night’s season premiere, I am absolutely, one hundred percent hooked on the new 90210.  While the first season of the show left much to be desired, this past week’s episode was nothing short of…

    My Latest Interview with US Modernist Radio

    ‘ I apologize for being MIA the past couple of days.  Both of my parents had surgery last week (my mom’s planned, my dad’s completely unplanned), so things have been hectic to say the least.  My dad was finally released from the hospital yesterday and I am hoping to have a new post up tomorrow,…

    Entertainment Recommendations to Beat the Shelter-at-Home Blues

    ‘ These definitely are some uncertain, scary times, to say the least.  The one silver lining to my dad’s recent hospital stay is that I binged a lot of TV, read quite a few books and listened to a bunch of podcasts, which means I have a slew of new entertainment favorites to share with…
