20 Books of 2020 (Pt.18)
You all probably know by now that I'm reading more purely because of this pandemic and being able to stay inside and not go to work. However, I do love reading at least one book a day, just to keep myself sane. People keep themselves sane in many different ways: some bake, some write, some study new things, some exercise, some relax in the garden, some sleep but we all do something - there is no such thing as doing nothing. Even when you feel you are doing nothing, you are doing something. Even at 'nothingness' you are recharging and re-evaluating yourself.

Warnings: reference to a past plague I looked out the window of my cabin knowing very well that I can't avoid the day no matter how hard I tried. I felt my phone buzz and recognized I received a text from Anton. I remembered a time when I was so eager to keep in touch with friends. I remembered a time when I would run out of the house to seize the day just to see my friends. I remembered a time when I would make half-jokes about doing errands quickly just to stay in the house longer. The person I joked about being stared back from my dim reflection in the window, but I knew all too well that that person was somewhere else in the world. I knew I couldn't stay inside forever no matter what how many delivery apps were still working. Eventually, I caved and left the cabin to get some fresh air.
Monique StarPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Young and the Restless spoilers: Kyle tells Theo, "You're fired"
Many times, whenever spoiler alerts are direct and specific with upcoming episodes, soap fans know to take it with a grain of salt. There have been a number of occasions when previews for an exciting episode turned out to be a dream or a character daydreaming. Soaps She Knows is revealing that during the week of April 20, on The Young and the Restless, Kyle will fire Theo. Long time viewers, however, will know not to take this at face value because it could simply be a teaser. If indeed Kyle gives his cousin the boot, many fans will be excited because they have wanted Theo one for a long time. If this is not what really happens,it is only a matter of time before Mr. Vanderway is shown the door.

Debbie BelloPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "A Futile and Stupid Gesture"
A Futile and Stupid Gesture is a very interesting movie based on the life of Doug Kenney. For those that don't know who Doug Kenney is, don't worry I didn't even know either. It's in fact probably better that you don't know who he is before you go watch it. When I went through this movie I was hit with twists and turns that I didn't expect because I didn't know about Doug. I'm sure this movie is even more entertaining if you knew who he was prior to watching this movie.

If you've read any of my previous posts (or know me personally), then you know that I'm very a creative person who works in Brisbane's arts sector as a theatre-maker, director, playwright, actor, theatre critic and teaching artist.

Virag DombayPublished 4 years ago in GeeksTV Review: 'Making the Cut' Episode 8 Brand Evolution
I am among the last people that anyone would ask about fashion. My wardrobe contains only one tie and it has a zipper in it. So, why am I reviewing the fashion reality series Making the Cut? In all honesty, Amazon sent me a screener and I had nothing better to do. I am a professional film critic by trade and there are currently no theatrical films. I have a lot of time on my hands and the desire to write and be read.
