Years ago, I had a dream of being a famous singer. Back then you had to really work for it. There was no TikTok or YouTube to propel a talentless individual into the spotlight. No. Back then, you had to find a way to get in front of record executives. I tried cold-calling them using … Continue reading Review: The Meaning of Mariah | Mariah Carey

Review: What Would Keanu Do? | Chris Barsanti
Here's a piece of trivia about me that might come in handy one day. My first adult crush was Keanu Reeves. I was 11 and because it was a simpler time, I was introduced to him via his movie Speed. I so badly wanted to be trapped on a bus that was about to explode … Continue reading Review: What Would Keanu Do? | Chris Barsanti
My favorite book of the year and some other ones I liked: 2020 Edition.
There's never been a better year for books. Books were the escape we needed from this prank of a year and luckily, there were a few good ones to keep us occupied. Now, I don't always read what's new but I do try my best to keep up with what comes out and in 2020, … Continue reading My favorite book of the year and some other ones I liked: 2020 Edition.
Review: We Should All Be Mirandas | Chelsea Fairless & Lauren Garroni
You're not a Carrie. Let's go ahead and get that out of the way right now. You. Are not. A Carrie. It's OK, I'm not a Carrie either, and it's not just because I don't get paid for these posts (although that's reason enough). I, as well as you, do not fit the Carrie profile … Continue reading Review: We Should All Be Mirandas | Chelsea Fairless & Lauren Garroni
Review: A Very Punchable Face|Colin Jost
"To my mom and dad, and my brother, Casey. You're like family to me." It's Colin Jost's dedication and the very first joke of his book. Simple, absolutely hilarious, and sets the tone for the entire book. In reading his memoir, A Very Punchable Face, it's easy to see why Colin Jost is the head … Continue reading Review: A Very Punchable Face|Colin Jost
Review: Solutions And Other Problems | Allie Brosh
Recently, a woman I used to work with launched a YouTube channel in the hopes of becoming a YouTube star. Yup - just her, a web cam, and 30 minutes of bullshit. Her drinking coffee. Her talking about nothing. Her foam rolling with her crotch RIGHT on the camera. We're talking OBGYN views. And you … Continue reading Review: Solutions And Other Problems | Allie Brosh
Review: Weird But Normal | Mia Mercado
Nothing makes me happier than knowing I'm not the only one who adopted the personality of a fictional character when I was a kid (it's been a long year so it takes very little). For Mia Mercado, it was Annie. For me, it was Wednesday Addams. I also enjoy relating to someone on the ridiculousness … Continue reading Review: Weird But Normal | Mia Mercado
Review: Ready Player One | Ernest Cline
Other than books, video games have been a much-needed escape for me, particularly the ones where I'm killing zombies and saving humanity. Video games get a bad rap, often being referred to as "time-wasting" and "mindless". Obviously, I would hardly call them "time-wasting". This is 2020; if you're not prepared for anything - and I … Continue reading Review: Ready Player One | Ernest Cline
Review: Open Book | Jessica Simpson
I used to sing. Shut up, I did. I started with Tejano music then moved on to Freestyle music (it made a comeback in the 90s and you had to have zero talent). Then I opted for pop music because it appeared that that's where the money was at. If Britney Spears could get a … Continue reading Review: Open Book | Jessica Simpson
Review: The Last Black Unicorn | Tiffany Haddish
I have a dream. And that dream is to one day be a guest on Comedy Central's Drunk History, both as an actress and as a drunk person. No, really. I realize most dreams consist of purchasing homes or getting a Master's degree. Not me. I want to be drunk on national TV talking about … Continue reading Review: The Last Black Unicorn | Tiffany Haddish
