A Jawline Sharp Enough to Cut Glass

Have you been inundated with Matt Rife?  I don't want to sound like a hater. I think humor is relative and subjective and he is funny and certainly has proven he is successful at it. I'm not here to criticize his actual craft.  I for one never understood when Dane Cook was hot and selling out Madison Square Garden with his schtick.  I don't personally get it, but I'm not the humor police and that's why there are so many options available, right?  Same with Matt Rife.  There is not one standard for being a good comic.  I just happen to not guffaw at his humor as much as just give it a small smirk.  It's interesting observation about being in gay shape? But he's literally already fit so...how much more fit does he perceive gay men to be? Does he go to the gym with like, Mr. World contenders?  In the world I live in he'd be considered very fit.  I'm not crying from the obscurity and absurd premise that gay men are in super shape. I tend to like ...

Insert Romantic Christmas Title Here

For all my love of historical romance I'm not a big movie consumer. I know most of my peers love a wholesome Hallmark movie which is essentially a rom com made on a TV budget.  I personally just lose interest in bad acting. Not that I'm a good actor but when you understand what's in the sauce? It's not super fun seeing bad acting and bad plot together.  How many times can the uptight career orientated gal be spun around and learn the real meaning of Christmas from the sweet hometown tree farmer she runs into when she visits home for the holiday? Apparently like 300 times at least. I realize it's none of my business but I have been hearing about this Candace Cameron Bure thing where she basically said she jumped networks because she could executive produce content in line with her beliefs around traditional marriage at some other third tier network I've literally never heard of with America somewhere in the name. People have been mad and I totally understand why....

Literary consumer

The pandemic has brought forth many a weird hobby.  Recently I've been in an almost maniacal feverish romance novel addiction.   I've always been a bookish person.  I devoured Babysitter's Club, Sweet Valley High and Land of Oz Books as a young girl. I was always a bit on the nerdy side, rule abiding and good grade getting.  I was in essence a good girl and I played by all the rules and gave no one reason to distrust me.  I also lived in a very strict household where I was often told I couldn't hang out with my friends and yet often left to entertain myself.  Why I couldn't just have fun with my friends, who can guess?  Perhaps allowing me freedom was too much of a risk to my virtue?   In any case I read a lot of books, watched a lot of tv and did a lot of daydreaming.  When my cousin who was 12 years older than me moved out of the house and left her books when she went to college guess who read inappropriate books given her reading...

Little Fires

It feels like the world is on fire, huh? I'm already super stressed and isolated.  To cut to the chase, I'm fine, I've been medically healthy, my family is fine, they too are medically healthy. I'm grateful for what I have. I'm not bemoaning my situation but I am however, entitled to an opinion that is not all sunshine and lollipops. Now on to more interesting things... The recent situation with George Floyd has lit the U.S up.  And perhaps the combination of already being so vexed and then you add in this "kindling" so to speak and a firestorm would naturally erupt.  You can't really say for sure why this instance mattered so much when literally hundreds of years have proceeded this of black persons being being killed for no reason by white people who get seemingly no punishment but my guess is that we were just primed up and ready for it.  If President Trump's administration wanted to act as the lighter fluid, then here's what the outcome...
