7 TV Shows Canceled Too Soon

July 16, 2017October 15, 2021Leave a comment

I've always been a bookworm. Mostly because I love reading, but also because I grew up without cable so books didn't have much competition. When your only options are Matlock reruns, Jeopardy, and the local news, books look much more attractive. Now we're living in the age of peak tv and I have cable, DVR, … Continue reading 7 TV Shows Canceled Too Soon

My Top 5 Favorite Terrible Movies

January 16, 2017January 14, 2017Leave a comment

Growing up, I didn't have cable. This was partially because my parents objected to us watching too much brain-rotting television (my siblings and I all have graduate degrees so I guess it worked!), and partially because we couldn't afford it. My husband grew up with cable and loves watching movies. Between him and the fact … Continue reading My Top 5 Favorite Terrible Movies

Winter is Coming

I'm caught up on the tv show.  I bought the anthologies Dangerous Women and Rogues just to get my Westeros fix, even though I really don't like short stories.

That being said, I've seen a lot of outrage over trivial issues. Sure, human beings are both frivolous and profound. But there is so much anguish wasted on the  WRONG DAMN THINGS! For … Continue reading Get mad when it counts

Is Marriage for White People?

December 5, 2011March 23, 2020Leave a comment

The analyview returns! I got a free copy of Dr. Richard Banks' book, Is Marriage for White People from the professor who advises the BLSA group at Orange Law. It was a good read and surprisingly easy to get through; despite my impending finals, I managed to get through in just a few hours. Thesis … Continue reading Is Marriage for White People?

The Tyler Perry Question

April 5, 2010March 23, 20206 Comments

I am (give or take 5 weeks) a college graduate. I am pursuing a graduate degree. I am an independent, successful black woman and yet, Tyler Perry doesn't make me feel any certain way. More often than not, I find Tyler Perry's work hilarious. I enjoy seeing a movie with a cast full of black … Continue reading The Tyler Perry Question
