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

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

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

Analyview of “500 Days of Summer”

December 9, 2009March 23, 2020Leave a comment

[Note: I wrote this a little while ago and never posted it, so you get a real post today. Enjoy!] First of all, this is much more analysis than movie review. Either way, if you haven't seen the movie yet and care about spoilers, this is your official warning. Still reading? Okay then. Watching this … Continue reading Analyview of “500 Days of Summer”
