The Sensory Details of My Love For Star Wars
I really love the Star Wars Universe. How much? It's hard to say. But how I love it? The answer came to me a little easier. There's many different ways to love a thing, and upon rumination I realized that the ways I love this ever expanding universe (shout out to Edwin Hubble!) can be categorized pretty easily. So, here for your perusal, is my love of Star Wars explained using the five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. May the Fourth be with you!

Coca-Cola Starlight: Yeah, It's Good. Top Story - April 2022.
Coca-Cola is doling out a new line of limited edition flavors, the first one being the Coke Starlight. A cute little can in an ombre of red and purple, with a ribbon of black towards the bottom of the can and some speckled stars. The iconic, classic logo is still there of course, but there is no doubt Coca-Cola is reaching for the stars with their new concepts.

Free Guy: I Wasn't Expecting To Get Punched In The Heart
Free Guy is exactly what I need in a movie these days: funny, light, and warm. A combination of age and crumbling society has resulted in tender, finnicky nerves that make finding a show or movie to watch an ordeal. I can't deal with dark or gritty movies, I find romance/romcoms more than tired, and even horror movies- my favorite genre- can sometimes fail to grasp my attention.

Period Care: Maybe You Shouldn't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket
Pads vs. Tampons vs. Menstrual cups vs. Period panties I've personally read, like, ten articles about these versus battles regarding the best choice for hygiene products during your menstrual cycle. My first product choice had been pads for the longest time. Back then, 12 years old and very put out about having to experience this "passage of womanhood" (bunch of bullshit then, certainly more so now), my arguments were more centered to which brand of pad worked better. Wings vs. no wings. Super heavy or regular. Yadda yadda- tampons are the DEVIL- yadda.

10 Lush Products That Belong On Your Wish List
Lush is a handmade cosmetics store that originated in Britain but has since expanded globally with more than 900 stores. There's been few brands that are as good for my skin, and comfort me as much, as Lush. And by few- I mean like, maybe, two other brands.

Kickass Adult Animation Films To Watch Based On Your Zodiac Sign
Hey, cartoons aren't just for kids! A lesson I first learned watching Adult Swim on late nights in the early 2000s, waaayyy before Tom (4.0? 5.0? God he just keeps dying) and Toonami had any sort of say in that. Nostalgia can come in another article though, I'm trying to jog your memories about some of the wacky, inventive animated movies that used to come on TV, and definitely were not for kids. Stuff like . . . Fritz the Cat, and Beavis and Butthead Do America.

A Brief Conversation on My Aromanticism
About four years ago I came to the realization that I was aromantic. It took me a while because, well, it's not a largely well known romantic orientation. The fact that there can even be orientations for romance related things is hardly well known!

Reading Romance Is Self-Care
I'm at a point in my life now where I want to believe in happiness again. There were a long few years where all that seemed to show upon my horizon was bleak, enduring toil and that eroded my mental health like waves upon the beach shore. But I'm older now, and though in a material sense things still seem stretched thin, my mind is starting to fight back for pieces of happiness. In fact, I'll selfishly and boldly proclaim that I want more than just pieces- I want the whole cake dish of happiness and I'm tired of settling for less. One of the ways I'm doing this is by renewing my relationship with reading again. And the number one genre that's helping me get back into that excited, voracious headspace for new literature?

Ranking the Encanto Soundtrack from Magnificent to Good!
Encanto is a wonderful film, and I cannot stop singing its songs, or quoting its most meme worthy lines. Full of heart, and family drama, and some points about generational trauma that almost hits the nails on the heads.

Rest Must Be An Act of Defiance. Top Story - January 2022.
I'm usually thinking of sleep as something I've got to schedule for, then plan two contingency plans for. 'If I have work at 12:30, I'll need to be out by 11:30, so if I wanna get some time to myself before work I should wake up by 9:30 but if I want to just sleep I'll need to wake up by 10:30- 10:45 at the latest . . .'

Soothing Youtube Channels for my Struggling Attention Span
This pandemic that has absolutely shredded my attention span. At one point in time, movies were my solace. I flipped through the catalog of Amazon Prime to enjoy a spontaneous flick, or skipped into Target/Walmart to pick a familiar and comforting $5-$10 movie. On Tuesdays I would happily run over to the Cinemark near my job for discounted movie tickets and make a whole night of it; a daquiri from Fat Tuesdays, sushi at a little metal table overlooking the ground floor walkway and entrances to several shops and restaurants, and a delicious donut I'd sneak in to the theatre to enjoy during the film. Movies were my excuse to be sociable, and present in life- to be surrounded by other likeminded people who were choosing this movie as a moment of leisure and engagement in the joys of life we are too busy toiling, to otherwise enjoy.
