Hagiography: biography of saints or venerated personsidealizing or idolizing biography Let's start with what is actually true:

Book Sabbatical: January.
In my previous post regarding a book sabbatical, I mentioned that I was a self-proclaimed bibliophile and I decided that a bibliophile goal for 2022 is to enjoy the books on my bookshelves! Before you say, “Hang on! That’s contradictory,” I looked up several sources that calls a bibliophile one who loves books, collects books, or even someone who walks into a bookstore and comes out with at least one book. That would be me. *hand up here.*

My Review of "Home Team"
Home Team is the latest Happy Madison Netflix film to be released in 2022. It's a fairly simple and predictable story that throws in some awkward Happy Madison flare to it. I thought I knew what I was getting into with this movie and in some ways I was right.

Books to Check Out: What I Read in January 2022
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon Oh boy. This one cut me deep. Curious Incident is a story about a boy with autism named Christopher as he tries to solve the murder of a neighbor’s dog. The events that follow are filled with heartbreak and struggle, as it starts to unveil deeper truths about his own life.

Re-Creata-Tino - IRON MAN
So many people watch movies, it's really become one of America's favorite past times. Since certain occurrences have urged people to stay home and stay indoors, rather than driving to a different location to cram in with a bunch of strangers and pay for overpriced popcorn while contracting something you might not get at home, movies at home have become a staple.

"The Woman in the House...: Season 1" - STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?
There's so much content out there these days that it can be hard to find anything worth watching. I know that sounds backwards, but there are simply so many options that the true gems are hidden among the ranks of the mediocre, or even the outright bad. Besides, modern shows are designed with carefully planted cliffhangers so that once you get started, it's hard to walk away. Then you look up, and six hours have passed, and you realise that you didn't really enjoy any of it. It was distracting, and it got its hooks in you, but you kinda wish that you had those six hours back.

The Bridge
This book is very well written. The author does an excellent job with his story telling. This book tells the story of Aaron and Tillie. Aaron is a severely depressed sixteen year old gay boy living in New York with his father. His parents divorced when he was eight. Tillie is also severely depressed and a teenager. They see each other on the George Washington Bridge. This book is told from four different perspectives, one of which I have never seen before, One is that only Tillie jumps, the other is only Aaron jumps, the other is both of them jump together and the last is neither one of them jump.

Review of 'Blood Like Magic'
A rich, dark urban fantasy debut following a teen witch who is given a horrifying task: sacrificing her first love to save her family’s magic. The problem is, she’s never been in love—she’ll have to find the perfect guy before she can kill him.

Golden Stones of Cinema: La Notte
"Da chi è questa lettera?" ("From whom is this letter?") "È la tua." ("It's yours.") The second film in Michelangelo Antonioni's Modern Discontent Trilogy (three films loosely associated with one another for their similtude of themes and ambience), "La Notte" can easily be overlooked due to it having been sandwhiched between two others that have arguably had the greater cinematic impact. Whereas "L'Avventura" (The Adventure) was the first to present the abnormally slow pacing by which the trilogy was so notably characterized, "L'Eclisse" (The Eclipse) will forever be noted for its bold end sequence that pushed beyond the limits of what an expected narrative could accomplish at the time. Each of these three films are driven by their respective protagonist's alienation from social modernity, and their narratives tend to grow trivial as each of them progresses. "L'Avventura" deals with a mystery that never gets solved (done purposely to showcase the aloofness of individuals), and "L'Eclisse" deals with two people who attempt to get romantically involved but remain withdrawn nonetheless (once again, done deliberately). Although I admire Antonioni's boldness to make such films, I give "La Notte" the edge over the other two due to its accomplishment in illustrating all these daring themes while still maintaining some relevance to its storyline and allowing for attachment to its characters.

Golden Stones of Cinema: Harold and Maude
"Tell me, Harold. What do you do for fun? What activity gives you a different sense of enjoyment from the others? What do you find fulfilling? What gives you that special satisfaction?"

The Dalmatians run the house literally!!
