Odds & Ends 4/15-4/28
The past couple of weeks have seen small, but continuing steps forward in a few areas of my life.

Review: Wish
An entertaining effort, but it falls short of really capturing that classic "Disney magic."
Odds & Ends 3/18-3/31

Not only that, but with the problem scene out of the way, I … Continue reading Odds & Ends 1/22-2/4
Review: The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina
Despite a couple of weaker points, Zoraida Cordova's novel tells a compelling family drama brimming with magic.
Odds & Ends 12/25-1/7
Welcome to 2024 everyone! The past two weeks have been a wonderful blur of celebrating the holidays with family and then recovering from those holidays. I unpacked the last items out of my suitcase Tuesday, and my apartment is mostly back in order, so I'm feeling a little more put together now. In between gatherings … Continue reading Odds & Ends 12/25-1/7
