Audio Books: A spiritual experience
I do still hear echoes from the past, a senior in secondary school marvelling at the latest thing I was working on, with a smile on his face. Moments after, he was grimacing in disappointment at my inability to start one thing and finish it. My credibility as a doer - out of this world - yet, I am an athlete who will run a 100m race and stop at the 50m point, quitting just because I was in the lead way too easily.

The Moral Dilemma of Wanda Maximoff's Grief
The insanely popular show WandaVision on Disney+ raised a whole new collection of questions and interests regarding Wanda being revealed as the chaos magic witch (also known as the Scarlet Witch) who was prophesied in the Darkhold . Everyone is interested in everything about the future of Wanda Maximoff now that she has become aware of her abilities and seeks to explore their range even further. We know she will play a huge role in the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel as well. However, what interests me is the ethical/moral dilemma of her grief and the surrounding repercussions of her magic creating a complex yet satisfying grieving journey for viewers. Was Wanda's Hex an act of evil? Was her avoidance of correcting the issue once being made aware of it inherently evil, or strong denial in grief? Was WandaVision careless in utilizing this plot for Wanda's grief?

Voyeur: The Windows Of Toulouse-Lautrec"
It's 1899 and Bated Breath has turned the West Village into Paris; from the fantastic costumes of that time period to great dancing on MacDougal St. and wonderful opera singing on 5th Avenue, "Voyeur" is an interesting body of work both conceived and directed by Mara Lieberman.

How Harry Potter taught me to protect my energy.
Harry Potter was a staple in the non-fiction movie and book realm throughout the 2000s, drawing in record breaking sales with every movie release. It’s innovative fiction telling capability about spells, wizards, and sci-fi narratives shot its viewers into an imaginatory world of good vs. evil, and wands that could kill with a movement, along with cloaks that came with invisibility. This fantasy world came to be immersive for so many readers and watchers in America, but what if I told you it held gems inside of some of its fantasy-driven narrative?

Will There Be A Reboot?
In the age of reboots and rehashing old television and movies there's one that I've been waiting for since my senior year in high school. While Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas may be past their primes and having Crockett and Tubbs on the streets of Miami running and gunning might be a hard sell, there's unfinished business with that series that has gone unanswered for too long. So, in my imagination, it would have to be a passing of the torch series. It has been done before. Hopefully, the online rumors of a project in the works might mean that they are going to do it again.

Where the Woodbine Twineth actress Margaret Leighton continued acting after MS diagnosis
Where the Woodbine Twineth The beautiful and talented Margaret Leighton was clearly a class act in her day. I first caught a glimpse of her in the 1965 episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode “Where the Woodbine Twineth.” In this program, Leighton portrayed stern Aunt Nell, who attempted to raise her brother’s daughter after he died.

Velvet-lined Vintage
A few years ago, a touring Broadway company was bringing The Phantom of the Opera through my city. I bought tickets to take my best friend (and a small group of our compatriots) to the show for his birthday and planned a somewhat elaborate evening out for the lot of us. The tickets were a surprise, and I wanted to do something a little more elaborate to reveal that surprise than just tell him I was taking him, so I delved into my craft supplies and wrote him an invitation to the show from "The Phantom" using parchment paper and blood-red India ink with a dip-nib pen to make it look as authentic and ominous as possible, and sealed it with a red wax seal to make it official. I went out and found a distressed-looking book safe, which would act as the delivery service for the letter, to add a little extra panache.
