Instead of Netflix & Chill (the G version), I will be going old school this holiday season, and reliving my college days. I have no internet or cable at home (financial restrictions and just plain preference - I'll get internet eventually), so I will be reading, watching DVDs and working extra hours. I have an …

Last month, I saw a sequel to a remake (Ocean's 8, which was actually a good movie on its own). The three previews were 1) an adaptation of a novel (Little Women - a modern setting just released, and a time period version due to come out next Christmas), 2) a sequel (Mamma Mia) and …

I enjoyed this movie for …
I love to read a good obituary. I have a collection of the ones that make me laugh, cry, and wish I knew the subject when they were with us. Some of these people I knew personally, while others, I was just a fan of their work. For a couple, I had never heard of …
I feel like I just broke up with someone. Driving to Athens this morning, I felt like I was going on one last date, and I knew that I had to break a heart. The heart was my home for eight years of my life (1998-2000, 2002-2008), and has provided me shelter and income, and …
I thought it was a great idea to see The Shack and the latest episode of This Is Us on the same night. I didn't think my body was capable of expelling that many tears. If you know me well, you know I'm not a religious person. I do consider myself to be spiritual. I believe that I am …
Aug 15, 2016 | Atlanta, GA Can you believe it's been 20 years since the Olympics came to Atlanta? I can't, AND if you're an undergrad at Georgia Tech, chances are you weren't even alive when our campus was the Olympic Village.
