I was tagged by @millerflintstone (thanks!) and I’m feeling to answer questions (more questions please!) so here goes:
Reading: I’m reading The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. I think it’s her debut and it was on a lot of lists of the best books of 2025. I’m enjoying it so far, she’s a very good writer. I’m also reading The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez. It’s a rom com and I’ve read one of her books before and really enjoyed it but I’m having some issues with this one. It’s weirdly sexist. I guess that’s why it was on sale on audible.
Last Series: The last series I watched… well it’s a limited series, was His and Hers on Netflix. Loved it. Definitely didn’t figure out who the killer was.
Last Film: The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (1994). I watched it last night, picked it out while I was scrolling through Prime Video. I hadn’t seen it since it came out and thought it would be fun to watch Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving in their earlier days before their careers blew up. It didn’t disappoint. The costumes were as fabulous as I remember. And I found out that there’s a sequel in the making (Terence Stamp shot all his scenes before he passed)!
Last song: Blinding Lights by The Weeknd. Part of a random playlist on Apple Music.
Salty or Sweet: it really depends on what I’m feeling for. When it comes to snacks I’m more of a texture person. I’ll feel for something crunch or chewy or soft first and then decide if I want salty or sweet. That said I just remembered I have a donut in the kitchen. Sweet!
Coffee or Tea: I have a cup of coffee every morning. It doesn’t wake me up but it’s a habit I enjoy. I like tea too, I tend to have it in the evenings.
Currently Working On: Ideas about projects I want to accomplish but I’m not actively working on anything, it’s all in the mental morass of my mind stage (but past the research and collecting references stage). I’m also gearing up to start my last semester in a couple of weeks. Mentally my mind is having a bit of a hard time kicking into gear these past couple of weeks. I really enjoyed the mental space of the last few weeks where I didn’t have to think about anything.

I was tagged by my bestie @soulsistrin so why the hell not?
Reading: I'm currently re-reading an old fave - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Read it yeqrs ago and got the urge to revisit it this weekend to take my mind off things. No need to day much about it - it’s a classic. Comics wise, i’m currently the omnibus (AKA collection of a full story arc or run or a comic) for Strange Academy. Some plot points from it were included as Easter Eggs in last year’s Marvel series Ironheart (she’s basically a young black successor to Iron Man in the Marvel universe). I’m loving the book so far to the point where i’m deliberately taking my time reading it, to make it last as long as possible). I’ve always been a big Doctor Strange fan, and in this book Strange runs a special high school for supernatural kids in the Marvel Universe, whoch is wild!). By the time i’m done with this, i’m gonna need Marvel comics to put out a new Ironheart or Ms Marvel series… or at least do something new and fun with Black Panther, please and thanks?!
Last Series: Over the last weekend I finished Pluribus on Apple TV (amazing Sci-F / Drama series- which is typical for Apple shows) and also His & Hers (mind blowingly good Murder Mystery Thriller on Netflix). I’m actively watching a bunch of other series at the moment, including Law & Order (the OG series & SVU), Will Trent, Percy Jackson & The Olympians (on Disney+), Fallout (on Prime Video) and The Pitt (on HBO Max). Looking forward to starting new/upcoming series like Marvel’s Wonder Man (Disney+), season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil Born Again, season 2 of Hijack (Apple TV), season 2 of Cross (on Prime Video), season 2 of Paradise (Disney+), A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms (new Game Of Thrones spin-off on HBO Max), and Star Trek Starfleet Academy (this actually started airing this week but I haven’t watched yet). And those are just a few. What can I say, TV is my only real vice these days - it keeps me insane in this increasingly crazy world.
Last Film: The last movie I watched was the recent live action version of How To Train Your Dragon. I love it just as much as I loved all the original animated Dragon movies and shows. Looking forward to several blockbuster films latee this year including Michael (the Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ’s nephew Jaafar), Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Supergirl, director Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated new film The Odyssey, The Mandalorian & Grogu (finally a new Star Wars film 🙌🏾), Dune II and (probably my most anticipated movie for 2026) Avengers Doomsday.
Last song: It’s the middle of Carnival season here in T&T, so i’m listening to a lotttt of new 2026 Soca tunes. One of my Projects should be relasing any day now 🤞🏾. You can click here listen to my fave releases for the year so far in my 2026 Soca playlist if you’re interested 😉. The last song I listened to is my absolute fave (and the most popular song for the season thus far), Respectfully Yours by Full Blown.
👇🏾
Salty or Sweet: Could be either one for me, depending on the mood i’m in. When I feel for something sweet it’s probably going to be chocolate (my absolute fave is 3 Musketeers or Mars bars but neither of those is sold in T&T anymore, so I have to settle for second best, which would be Cadburys Dairy Milk, Toblerone or Ferrero Rocher). Salty would would probably be either Chee Zees (a local cheesy snack, kinda similar to Cheetos) or Pringles (the classic Original flavour is fine, but truth be told my go to is usually Sour Cream & Onion). I also love a savoury snack, like my favourite local (Trini) traditional treat, tamarind balls - assuming I can find decent ones to buy and eat (sigh). Back in the day you could purchase good tamarind balls at the nearest parlour (small family owned shop usually located at the front of a neighbour’s house that sold basic necessities along with homemade local snack delicacies) around every corner in T&T. These days parlours are few and far between and hardly anyone consistently makes good quality tamarind balls, which breaks my heart cause I love them so much smh. Oh, speaking of snacks, I also love a good donut.
Coffee or Tea: I’ve never been a fan of either coffee or tea, tbh. At breakfast i’d quicker have grapefruit juice (or orange, if need be). I know lattes etc are all the rage these days, but I’ll pass on the Starbucks - I prefer to get my daily doses of caffeine from Coca Cola, thanks.
Currently Working On: As I said, it’s Carnival season here so i’ve been writing new Soca songs to pitch to various artists - one project in particular should come out any day now, Godwilling 🤞🏾. Carnival aside, i’ve promised myself that I’d finally make some progress as far as me working on the production of tracks for artists and for maybe even for myself (in addition to songwriting). I’ve been saying I want to branch out into being a music producer for years now - time to get past the Imposter Syndrome and just get it done this year.
