Bippity Boppidy BOO
I'd like to say this was a dreamy Princess fairy tail, but I'd really be lying. No, this is something a little more dark and tortuous. You see, there is a young woman Cinderella, 18 years old, living with two older sisters and her horribly wretched step-mother Dawn. Cinderella was a kind and simple soul, beautiful dirty blonde locks that grew to her lower back. She was mostly average in size, just as she was in looks.

Pride & Prejudice: How I REALLY Feel About Mr. Darcy
Pride and Prejudice: Where societal satire gracefully dances with romance. Mr. Darcy, a trash bin of aloofness, masters the art of personal growth. Lizzie Bennet’s wit sparkles like champagne. Elizabethan social norms are dissected all while love conquers folly. A timeless tale where even trash bins can transform into treasures.

Jellystone, err... "Yellowstone"
Despite its nonsensical timeline, episodes follow the same pacing as Baywatch, but in Montana, so the beachy, butt-centric music video montages have been replaced by cattle-wrangling and rodeo routine music video montages. Also, no one plays a sympathetic character and everyone is a villain—except for Jimmy, the former meth cook.

Lessons in Chemistry
Lessons in Chemistry is a great book. They should make a movie out of it. It tells a great story about a female chemist in the 1950’s who everyone treats unfairly just because she’s a woman. But really she’s a genius! Extremely well written! I recommend reading it!

Barbie Review
“Barbie” was one of the best movies that I have seen in a while. She evoked true empathy for both women and men. I have never seen a movie capture the topic of gender equality in such a sweet, yet strong way. It was very creative! Bravo and well done!

A Court of Thorns and Roses, Sarah Maas
There is no better way to spend a day than with a Sarah Maas book. I could just live in the world she has created. No fantasy info-dumping, or paragraph long descriptions. Only magic, and color, and wonder, with a good dash of humor throughout. I recommend it to everyone.

ChronoShift
INT. DAVID'S DULL OFFICE - DAY A dimly lit office cluttered with stacks of books and papers. DAVID KNIGHT (30s, disheveled and disillusioned) sits at his desk, staring at a blank computer screen. He absentmindedly taps his pen against the desk, lost in his own thoughts.
