2012, In Which Danul Will Get His Sh!t Together

Ever since the dawn of this new millennium (is it even new anymore?), each time January rolls around, I have such a hard time wrapping my head around the new year. I can't exactly put my finger on what irks me, but something about saying "two-thousand-twelve" out loud has me thinking I should be wearing a shiny one-piece spacesuit with colored trim a la Zenon: Girl of the Twenty-First Century.

Seriously, does anyone else have this issue? No, just me? Story of my life.

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Movies No One Saw That Everyone Should See

As an out-and-proud movie snob, I've come upon many a diamond-in-the-rough film that seemingly no one else has ever seen. Most of the movies usually were never advertised very heavily by the studios, and thus never given a chance.

Like I said last week, there is something major (at least for me) going on in my heart right now that I just don’t quite know how to put into words just yet. So…just stay tuned for that. In the meantime however, can I interest you in some shallow self-doubt?

Top Ten Tuesday: The Most Frustrating Things Left Out of the Harry Potter Films

For my first TTT, I figured I would play to expectations and do a Harry Potter post. Plus, now that all the films have been released on home media platforms, I've been noticing all the things the films have gotten wrong more and more. So here it is: the ten most grievous sins of the Harry Potter series (according to just me)...

I'll Just Mosey on In, Like I've Been Here the Whole Time

Good morrow, fair citizens of the interwebs! Where have you all been? I feel like we haven't spoken in, like, forever. I'm committing to changing that.

Thanks to friends' encouragement and my dad's decision to pester me into doing it, I figured I would just buckle down and write some words. SIGH.

Danul's Summer Movie Preview

Since we both know I love movies more than I probably should, I decided to channel it into something at least pseudo-productive. Below is my personal rundown of the biggest movies coming out this summer season. Hopefully, you will read it and feel informed (and, hey, maybe chuckle a few times).

The Eye of A Needle

First off, let me say that Easter was a week ago. Seven days ago we were wearing pastels, eating candy, and blinking in the sunrise. We were overcome with the celebration of LIFE.

So quick were we to forget that.
