My Review of "Holidate"
Holidate probably came out at the perfect time for Netflix. Halloween is upon us and that means a whole slew of holidays are coming up. Being quarantined a lot of us miss being with groups of people let alone being on horrible dates. I'm sure some of us wouldn't mind going on horrible dates at this point in time. This movie talks about the opposite.

The Malevolent Salem
I was looking for something new to watch when the pandemic hit and my son introduced me to the American anime Rwby. It was an instant winner for me and I wasted no time watching all 7 chapters. I am now patiently waiting for chapter 8 to be released in November. Rwby, created by the late Monty Oum, is set in a futuristic world called Remnant. The story centers around 4 teenage girls who meet at Beacon Academy in a city called Vale. The girls, along with the other students, train to become warriors called hunters and huntresses. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long make up team Rwby who set out to fight monsters called the Grimm and protect the people of Remnant.

Teary Eyes
With the season of family gatherings coming up, and the COVID-19 pandemic in full gear, it becomes easy to lose the light in your life. These are scary times for all of us, not being able to do all of the activities we would like to do, not being able to see all of the people we want to see, and I’m sure we’ve all had our moments of feeling sad, maybe even depressed, thinking, “When will this all be over?”

Social Media & It's Trends
While creating my TikTok, I had no idea, that I would become so "addicted" to it. I create my own videos, of course and try to follow the latest trends, while growing my account for more views and followers. Sometimes, I can't keep up. Sometimes, I don't feel confident enough to do specific trends. I mean, honestly, I'm a new mom, I'm overweight and I am not well coordinated. I give props to new content creators; It may seem easy, until you are like moi, and give it a shot, then say "Eh, maybe not today."

24 Hours Dressed As Sexy Patrick Star (A Memoir)
You know when you're looking through your closet of clothes, and you can visualize the great memories you've had while wearing them? A fancy sweater reminds you of a great first date, or a trench coat reminds you of a day you received good news. Sometimes we refuse to give away clothes we haven't worn in years because of the good times we've had in them.

The Greatest Quotes
I have had the great fortune to have read a number of the greatest works ever recorded, which I devoted myself to, over the course of a number of years. At my leisure, I took the time to sift through the content within each piece, and arrive at what I found to be most entertaining, or noteworthy; and herein I will provide the reader with the fruits of my labour, so to speak. Of course, there is a very good chance I've overlooked key quotes within each work; or perhaps, even, the reader may not find the same value as I had found. Truth be told, however, my only regret is that I didn't start taking notes sooner, as there were a decent number of books that I read prior to compiling this short selection, which I don't have any notes for, whatsoever.

Villains Collide
Violence fills the very fabric of the city of Gotham, it seems that there is a tragedy in every brick, soaked into the streets like blood and oil. Icons of crime rule this city behind the scenes, no matter how hard the detectives try to stop it. Delicious deviants with personal vendettas to never let that bat win, no matter how many times they are locked away or are thrown off buildings, denied any feeling.

FanFiction Rants: Erotic Fanfiction Needs to Go!
Let the hateful comments flood inward! I am getting sick and tired of fanfiction writers whom devote their time to smut. Seriously, this is perhaps the most insulting form of a fanfiction. I cannot begin to fathom the depravity of anyone to draft a tale depicting such filth. Now, the mental image of our favorite heroes and villains in some massive orgy may seem interesting to the writer of said fanfiction. Yet, let it be known that most of us fans of said medium or fandom do not want that. We want entertainment, not eroticism.
