Nobody puts baillee in the corner

I don’t know why, but this holiday season has been a bit harder then the rest. I’ve talked about how the holiday season always makes me a bit sad, but this year is different.  I’m not sure if it’s because it’s the second holiday season after KP died, the fact that the world is crumbling,…

Alrighty friends. There are blogs I get nervous about, and there are blogs I know are going to make people mad. This blog is probably going to make some folks mad, specifically those who weaponize their religion.  I don’t talk about my religious/spiritual beliefs often. It’s not that I’m afraid to, but it just doesn’t…

I’ve mentioned this a million times over, but I hate dating apps. I don’t think they’re inherently bad; I’ve just personally had more luck (if you can call it that) meeting people organically.  If you know me, you know I’m very open and very honest. I try not to hide my flaws and be self-aware…

It’s so odd how you can associate someone with a piece of media, be it a song, movie, or show. Despite the emotion, it’s locked into your brain.  Self-admittedly, I’m more of a movie girlie than a music girlie. But, surprisingly, I tend to associate people with songs more than movies. And, I have a…

Several people have asked me why I continue to watch The Family Stone after my mom died.  I promise I’m not being a masochist nor am I purposely fueling my depression.  I’ve talked about this a lot, but I’ve developed a deep emotional attachment to movies over the years that started when I was sick as a…

It’s so weird being in your 30s. Don’t get me wrong. I love it, and I’m only 31, so I’m not too terribly far in, but hear me out. As you begin to leave your 20s, there are a lot of changes and shifts within your routine and friend group.  You start to care more…

Ever since I moved away from home for college, the holidays have lost a little of their magic. (To clarify, I’m talking about Thanksgiving and Christmas because Halloween is still my everything).  Don’t get me wrong. I still write my letter to “Santa” (it’s more of a letter to the universe/to show myself how much…

Anytime I watch a movie with Karen Black, I’m enamored by her performance. She stands out amongst any cast, including movies like Trilogy of Terror, where she plays multiple characters.  She brings this level of high camp without chewing the scenery, and I’ve never really seen another actor perform the way she does within the horror…

Eight Legged Freaks fell within the beautiful time span where horror comedies like it and Slither reigned supreme.  Part Arachnophobia, part parody of giant creature features, it helps to bridge the gap between horror lovers and those who are horror movie averse.  David Arquette once again proves why he belongs within the horror genre and once again…

The charm of Chopping Mall lies in how painfully 80s it is. From the demonstration video to the its synth-heavy soundtrack, we never forget we’re deeply rooted in the 80s, where the mall was king.  The fact that the line “nothing can go wrong” is uttered within the first five minutes only proves we’re in for a…
