I've been telling my dog all day, "This is it! It's your year! It's the Year of the Dog!" He just stares at me...

Valentine’s Day
He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. After a quick weekend at his flat, he had done the short flight back to finish the shoot. "Valentine"s Day," he sighed. It always came around so fast and he was always alone. How had that happened? There had been some promising relationships when he was … Continue reading Valentine’s Day
What I’m Missing
Boy, that Armitage is a busy guy! There are so many projects coming out that that I really want to watch or listen to. The problem is, though, that this is also my busiest time at work.

A Few More Movies
The Greatest Showman (2017): If you are a fan of musicals but you haven't seen The Greatest Showman yet, I highly recommend that you go see it while it is still in theatres.

I, Tonya (2017)
I cried last night at the dark comedy, I, Tonya. I laughed a bit too, but it is one of the saddest movies I've seen in a long time.

You know those DNA-test commercials you see on TV? Like the one where the guy always thought he was German, but had to trade in his lederhosen for a kilt? He seems pretty okay about it.
