How do I pass the time on my bus? By looking at a collage, I did on an app and writing about it. Before cutting my cable, I discovered the show 'Lucifer', based on a comic written by Neil Gaiman. After racking my brain trying to figure out where I have seen Tom Ellis, I … Continue reading A Fun Post About Types
Sometimes I close my eyes, to picture the sidewalks and buildings on Lexington as I walked down the street to Scotty's Diner for breakfast, fuel for another day of exploring.

Her posts cover everything from … Continue reading 7 ways to consume media critically
