January in Review

 Honestly, I had nothing planned for this post and was planning to just not write anything. Then I got the random idea to maybe every once in a while share what I've been listening to, watching, reading, etc.

Being that some undiagnosed mental illness has left me unable to read books, even if I am interested in reading said book, I've mostly been reading fanfictions. If you'd like me to keep a fanfiction recommendations page on my blog, I would LOVE to because there are a few that I go back to frequently and some new ones.

I've been mostly listening to Weird Al as you probably could tell by my last two posts about him. Check out Fangirl Friday: Weird Al Yankovic or My Top 10 Weird Al Yankovic Music Videos. I did find this song by Panicland titled "The Edge" that I can't stop listening to. I am so late. The song came out in 2018, but it scratches my brain in the best way. Definitely will check out more of the band's music and who knows? Maybe they'll get their own Fangirl Friday post.

CURRENTLY, I have eustachian tube dysfunction. And I cannot hear much if anything from my right ear. I am waiting for it to clear up so I can finally listen to Maneskin's new album, RUSH. Because I want to write a Kinda Review about it.

I also want to get back into podcasts. I used to listen to My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark which I loved. I don't know why I stopped listening to them. I also want to start listening to The Basement Yard because I keep seeing clips of them on TikTok and I vibe with them.

As far as what I've been watching, I just finished a rewatch of my favorite show, Boardwalk Empire. It still is my favorite show. If anything, this last rewatch has further cemented it in my brain as the best show of all time. I also have been rewatching Narcos because I didn't get to finish it when I started it two years ago.

And I'm currently rewatching OG Criminal Minds, waiting for my best friends to finish it so we can watch Criminal Minds Evolution together. Criminal Minds and Boardwalk Empire have both been tied as my favorite shows for the past decade.

I started watching Tulsa King and I love it so far. Planning to binge it this coming weekend.

I have Sandman, Narcos: Mexico, Wednesday, The West Wing, and a few other shows that I desperately want to watch. Also Stranger Things, but I'm waiting for the hype of this last season to die down before I dive into that.

As far as movies are concerned, I have been on a Top Gun franchise kick since last August. Didn't get to watch the sequel till November. Never have I ever thought a Tom Cruise movie would have me in such a chokehold. Might dedicate a post to the movies. I can't stop rewatching them. Someone help.

My current celebrity crushes that I'm fixated are are Pedro Pascal (who I wrote about in 2021, but will no doubt get a second Fangirl Friday because he's an icon) and Glen Powell who will be getting his own Fangirl Friday soon. I'm still going through his filmography.

Also, my crush on Michelle Yeoh is close to becoming a fixation. I still haven't seen Everything Everywhere All at Once because I do not have Showtime, where is the one place it's streaming on. However, I know as soon as I watch it my crush on her is going to go over the edge and be full fixation and I am READY!

I am interested in the new Gossip Girl show because I *loved* the original GG show when it came out. I have since tried watching it as an adult and I now hate my formerly favorite character. So I am cautious about the new show, but I'm in it for Thomas Doherty who I've been a fan of since watching Descendants 2 with my cousins. Man cannot sing, but man is pretty.

I am always open to TV, film, podcast, and music suggestions! I like broadening my horizons. My taste in film is similar to my taste in music. I'm open to most anything. I am just not a big fan of comedies. Don't know why. Do not recommend a rom-com. I started Set It Up in November because Glen Powell was in it, but now it's February and I haven't finished it. I will at some point. I just don't like romcoms.

ALSO the day this goes up Wakanda Forever is hitting Disney+ so expect a Kinda Review of it, and a couple Fangirl Fridays about my favorite characters in the near future.

If you found this post interesting at all and would like me to make this a monthly thing, let me know! Might start writing down everything I watch and listen to anyway.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
