15 thoughts on LOKI-The End of the World Tour

I was lucky enough to see  LOKI-The End of the World Tour  with music and lyrics by George Howe, book by Christina Calvit, and developed with and directed by Heather Currie at Lifeline Theatre. Here are some thoughts.  I felt that, overall, this was a super fun idea that was executed well in an intimate theatre The biggest drawback of the small space was probably that it was difficult for the sound mixing to get just right, so sometimes I couldn't make out what lyrics were being sung (that said, I have also had this issue in other theatres, so perhaps it's not just a space issue) I also wonder if some of the songs could be made shorter (it's totally possible that some songs could be cut entirely, but all of the songs did overall feel justified to me in their purpose either for plot or for flow) so that they are a bit punchier and so that the play is overall shorter My favorite character was probably, predictably, Loki--who is the star of the show, has clear emotional issu...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé season 12, episode 9

Time for some blow ups? It is pretty funny to watch Edward and Marissa hate the industrial NJ smells Marissa, there are better ways to talk to this man Marissa, this is still a pretty nice apartment (especially for NYC) Edward, I'm less on your side now Aha Mallorie and Rasit got a bidet attachment Mallorie and Rasit need to learn how to talk about money productively Thomas, I can believe Paula may need to apologize, but you definitely need to  Living in a hotel for a week is different than moving across the world to a man who did not prepare for her Paula shouldn't have to beg for Thomas to realize she has needs Catie, you did choose to invite Ryan...like that was your choice Catie, you are crossing people's boundaries Catie...it is your crossing of boundaries that causes people to distance themselves from each other So...what do Ashia and Maxwell like about each other? Hey, Shea, why didn't you get rid of this stuff before Anabelle came? Anabelle, going home is a good...

15 thoughts on Untitled Vampire Play

I was lucky enough to see Untitled Vampire Play w ritten by Kevin Douglas and directed by Devon de Mayo at Lookingglass Theatre. Here are some thoughts. Overall, I really enjoyed this production! I was especially impressed with the bat sounds as it really did sound like bats flying through through the theatre in a natural, scattered way Gotta love that it was set in Chicago I got nervous about actors appearing directly behind me during the production when it was announced that actors would move throughout the audience, which did happen, but luckily I noticed without being super startled (that said, I was impressed with how silently the actor had moved) While none of the costuming was elaborate, I did think it was all thoughtful and effective I know it was just a slight of hand thing, but I was genuinely impressed each time a vampire "caught" a crossbow bolt The set, while simple in appearance overall, was well done in terms of utilizing the space and clearly took a lot of pla...

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 11, episode 10

Time to find out who the final queen in the semifinals is! I think it would've been funnier if Michelle is bald and Ru is wearing a Michelle wig Dawn and A'keria look awesome! Side note, let me see more of their runway Crystal's look is great! Silky's fascinator is my favorite part of her look Kennedy looks divine Jasmine is stunning I also enjoy Sam's belt look Joey looks so great and I am genuinely excited to see her, but it is wild that there are 4 queens from bracket three Oooh this could be a fun twist Wait why can't A'keria even acknowledge Silky??? I do enjoy this scheming A'keria...you know stand up is not (usually) "Knock, Knock" jokes, yes? Lol Jasmine is just lying The queens are pretty funny Okay, to be fair to Crystal, everyone else was initially given a prompt Lol the Tina Burner wig Hrm well I'd obviously need to see the full back and forth between A'keria and Silky, but I am inclined to say that, from what Silky said, it...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort season 3, episode 5

Time for a bar brawl?  Guillermo, I get that the situation sucks, but Kara seems to be wanting to provide for your son Sumit is kinda into Pao? I'm sure Shekinah had Sarper undergo STI testing Gah Russ and Pao are so awkward And we're going after Sarper's ear size again Zied, did you sincerely ask what flirting meant? It is telling that Sarper apologizes to Zied and not Rebecca Zied is giving VIBES As is Sarper Rebecca, Sarper has flaws, but it seems like he did give Zied his moment Okay, this time, I think Sarper should've apologized to Zied for takin ghis moment But, yes, Rebecca, Sarper should've apologized for the "Boot Laugh" Seems like Sarper is trying? I am kinda amused that Sarper is dancing for Jenny with Shekinah's approval Aw are Kara and Guillermo going to kiss? That hand kiss meant so much to Kara Shekinah, is Patrick the MOST SUPERFICIAL man you've ever met? Really? So, Shekinah, you don't have to like Patrick, but I don't qui...

15 tips I have for surviving the home buying process

I am far from an expert, but here are some tips I have from my experience (which did include a total of bids on 5 places and 3 accepted bids). Work with folks you trust (for me, this meant getting personal recommendations, but for you it might mean reading reviews) Don't be afraid to ask those trusted folks for their opinions (as a newbie to this process, I made sure to ask questions, even if they were perhaps silly) Try to determine what are your musts, what you can wiggle on, and what are just bonuses (e.g. a must for me was two bedrooms, I could wiggle if there wasn't a bathtub, but I could install one, and outdoor space was a bonus) Part of this is figuring out how much home renovation excites you vs. burdens you (I find the general idea of major renovations stressful, but some people find it exciting--if this is you, you will have way more options) Additionally, there are some less checklist-y things to consider like  Before determining a rough budget, take a look at what ...
