Fairy Tale Unraveled

The reverberations of what this film lacks ECHOS, ECHOS, ECHOS through the empty theater!  The hollowness of this movie's story line, and characters echo throughout the film!  Too bad the wishing well couldn't fix that! Thousands of critics have said " it's not the worst movie I've seen......but "......I'll add my voice to that! That "BUT" is a big one! Yeah, maybe it's not the worst movie ever made, but the fact that people expected it would be says a lot!  I think since this movie was announced, it has seemed like a train wreck people just can't look away from!  Some critics say it was the train wreck they expected with others saying that it was bad, but not the train wreck they expected! Okay, all politics aside, all bias aside, I really was hoping for a great love story and sound, or at least, coherent story line!  I really wanted this movie to be something that could be different, but at the same time embody the original in an honor...

For the Love

As a kid I wanted to be a professional singer, then an author, then a doctor, then a lawyer, then a veterinarian, then a teacher, then a doctor again, and then I discovered I was destined for the lab.   Of all the many things I've dreamed about being, there is one thing that would truly be a dream to me!  I would love to be a professional gift giver!  Is that even a thing?  Other than Santa, probably not.  A love of gift giving is one thing that has always stayed consistent about me.  I just love to give gifts; it is the love language that I speak to others.   Gift giving is fun and exciting for me!  I love to find out information about people and then try to think up the perfect gift for them.  I don't mean just the usual gift cards, or something anyone could get the person.  Unless a certain type of gift card is the perfect gift, then I usually stay away from that.  Let's be honest though, sometimes gift cards or money i...

Be Our Best

If there's one thing that life never lets me forget, it is the constant reminder that I'll never be " The Best " at anything.  This is not meant to be depressing, but instead a push to be better.  No matter what I set my sights on, I go there only to find there is always someone better at it than me.  There's always someone more beautiful, more talented, more refined, more dedicated, or more able than I.  Isn't it this very thing that creates competition, and nudges us to improve?  Have you ever been best at something?  Well, I think it's safe to say that this is an ever present lesson in life.  However who defines what's " best "?  Who's the judge in these cases? Is it really just a perception of sorts? Are we the judges of what's " best" ? Are we defining what's " best "?  In my mind and in reality, I think, I was never the best pianist, flutist, clarinetist, dancer, singer, performer, artist, baker, decorato...

Fandom Fatigue

I love the holiday season, and I love Christmas!  Besides listening to Christmas music nonstop, wrapping presents, watching classic movies (including The Best Christmas Pageant Ever), and eating a little extra sugar I have gone down a rabbit hole!  Yes, I'm going to take a minute to totally geek out on you all!  It's true I'm a bit of a media geek.  I listen to and watch a serious amount of content.  From political to pop culture to gossip rags to philosophy to classic literature, I enjoy it all!  I guess you could say that my job allows me to entertain myself while working.  Don't worry, I'm still a top performer at my job and all the work gets done at a high standard.  I'm the type of person that actually stays focused on my work better while listening to something.   Anyway, with the holiday slow down at my job, I've been able to reacquaint myself with the geeky, nerdy girl inside me!  It's been so much fun! The reason this has h...
