My Brain Scratching Affair With Disney Movies Presents: Sleeping Beauty (VIII)

My Brain Scratching Affair With Disney Movies Presents: Sleeping Beauty (VIII)

Disclaimer: As I’ve written before, the following post is a part of a larger series geared to air out more or less, ‘adult’ grievances and flush out underlying (as well as obvious) themes that I’ve found while watching these childhood movies over again. *Please Note: I do not ‘blame’ Disney for any of my findings, as these are films based on very old fairy tales. However, as Disney has animated…

Something — Entry 9

Something — Entry 9

“Neon Valley Street” May the strings make you smile, May they always remind you of me When others merely had one song (maybe two), he had an entire playlist. Dozens of songs that made him come to mind, make him hard to forget. With each change of tempo, each inflection of tone, chord progression, whisper, or guttural groan. Continue reading

Just Friends?

I’m not sure if I truly understand the ways of man…Or maybe of those without mended wounds. I wanted to turn me into an “us”, if justfor a brief moment where we could exploreour lust or shared desires.But at the time that was ours, the interludewas over before it could ever begin, so I thinkwere we ever supposed to be a thing? Maybe we were best suited for our rolesbefore the whole ordeal — two…

Swooning for ‘Bridgerton’, Confused by ‘WW84,’ and What’s Good on TV? [Nerd Girl Corner]

Wazzup, wazzup, wazzup, nerds! It’s been a minute since I stepped into this Nerd Girl Corner and for this, I truly apologize to you all to leave you with no warning. That was truly rude of me. And to make my blasphemous actions even worse, I haven’t been keeping up with the likes of entertainment as I did in the past! Yiiiikes. But much like this blog, I’m slowly making my way back to all…

Back From the Walking Dead — Day In the Life

NEW Alja The Writer Post: "Back From the Walking Dead — Day In the Life" Bringing this blog back with a look at what I've been up to in the past four years. Take a read!

Could it be? Have a truly returned to this here ol’ blog thingy-ma-jiggy? Yes — yes, I have babe! It’s officially been over four years since I last shared some words with the world on this here site. Four years, y’all. If it was a child, it would be able to tell you that it wanted to have Chic-Fil-A for lunch and let everyone on the line know that you were wearing a wig. That’s how long it’s…

  Hey-lo, peoples! I’m back again with some nerdy news. I’m certain you guys already heard it because I meant to write some of this stuff as soon as it came out, but life happened in the form of sickness after sickness after sickness and your girl wasn’t here for the shenanigans. But guess what, I’m still gonna share it. Why? Because, why not. Also, I’m kind of in my feelings (or lack thereof)…

SDCC Comic-Con Overload, Channing Makes a Splash & More [Nerd Girl Corner]

Hello, my darlings! I must begin this post by expressing my sincerest apologies for breaking my promise to double up on my post after breaking my promise to be more consistent.  I left you guys for a whole month — and during San Diego Comic Con, too! I am ashamed of myself. BUT, I am back. All (or most) of the distractions which kept me from you are (somewhat) behind me now and I’ve come bringing…

Happy July 4th weekend, everyone! It’s been over two weeks since I last spoke to you all, and boy do I have a lot to tell. First off, I want to apologize for being so distant. Your girl was actually in the middle of making moves — one of which, I can finally talk to you about. However, in the process, I broke my promise to be consistent and for that I must atone for my actions. With that said,…

Howdy, y’all! It’s Fri-yay, but your girl has got a bit of a sinus issue that is zapping ALL of the energy out of her, so today is more of a regular, ol’ Friday.
