“I’ll bring all your dreams alive, for you” – Olivia Newton-John
I love cinema. There’s nothing quite like seeing a movie on the big screen. You get into this bizarre camaraderie with a bunch of strangers. You’ll cheer with some, and others will piss you off. I wanted to share a few emotional experiences I’ve had in theatres past. Anger – I went with my [...]

ACT I – The Blue Beauty I’m sitting here today in remembrance of the Blue Beauty. She was my first car.. a 1987 Buick Skyhawk. I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 26. Partly it’s because I’ve primarily lived in the city and didn’t need one. But it’s also because I can [...]

Maybe it’s because I’m coming out of witnessing the birth of my 2nd kid.,.. but I’m feeling the feminist part of me sneaking out over the last couple of days. It came out in high school once in a while too. Which explains why I spent some time there in a gym locker every now [...]

In the many issues that are sprinkled in this election year, the issue that seems to be the most confounding to me is the gay marriage issue. I respect (or try to respect) any opinions shared with me, but I don’t get why this one is an issue at all. Since when should certain American [...]
