Reviewing the Classics
Movie Stats: Mary Poppins directed by Robert Stevenson. Released in the year 1964. With everything done I decided to watch tv. Flipping through the shows, dramas and channels. I finally stopped on a channel where the movie was about to start. I heard about it a lot but never got the time to sit down and watch.

The Accidental Poet by Paul Stewart: An Unintentional Review
The Inadvertent Background I have now read 3/4 Vocal books I picked out. I define “Vocal books” as their contents either came off this site and/or their author is currently on Vocal. Today, we get to see both as I talk a bit about Paul Stewart and his poetry collection The Accidental Poet.

"Unlock Insights: 2 Captivating Art History Books to Spark Reflection Part II". AI-Generated.
Art history books are my absolute favorite way to delve into the past. Sure, historical true crime has its allure, but there's something uniquely captivating about the way art history encapsulates and intertwines with every facet of human civilization. It's like stepping into a vast tapestry of time, where each brushstroke and sculpture tells a story of its own, weaving together the intricate threads of culture, society, and human experience.

I have no mouth, and I must scream
One of my favorite writers of all time is Harlan Ellison. A true master of his craft, with over 1700 works, he was a very prolific writer, crafting captivating stories such as “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,” “A Boy and His Dog,” and “'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman.” He wrote not only sci-fi works but also screenplays, comic book scripts, and more. His works, often exploring themes of dystopia, technology, and social issues, have won numerous awards, including several Hugos, Nebulas, and Edgars. He was also an editor and anthologist. He was very successful over his long life, being born in 1934 and passing away in 2018.

THE CONCUBINE
After reading "The Concubine" by Elechi Amadi in Secondary school many years ago, my cousin is still scared of women and has refused to marry to date. He said he saw Ihuoma in all the women he dated. Insisting that he doesn't want to die yet, that he is taking his time to find the right woman who has no spirirtual husband. I told him that time waits for nobody and he is almost 40 years but told me that it's better to marry late than to die early.
