Harry Potter Weekend – An 8-movie Retrospective
Posted on January 20, 2014 Leave a Comment
A couple of weeks ago I ended up with a low-grade flu.

Books – My Ever-growing Problem
Posted on November 24, 2013 2 Comments
I have a problem: I love books. Nothing excites me more than dissolving into a fantasy land, falling in love with characters, and becoming fully engulfed in another world.
