All Things End

The past couple of weeks have been interesting as several pop-culture phenomenon have concluded all at the same time. We have seen the end of stories about a fantasy world, political satire, superheroes, and some nerds who eat together, that have captured the collective hearts and imaginations of millions of people around the world in… […]

Weird words we use everyday

To tell you the truth I think all words are weird. Language in general is a very peculiar thing. It is just grunts and sounds arranged in a particular pattern or sequence that we have all collectively agreed has some sort of meaning. English in particular is complex and hard to learn as in it’s… […]

MET Gala 2019

I know this is a little late but I had to do a post about this year’s MET Gala. Every year the beautiful and the rich get together in an extravagant display of excess and wealth for…some reason. They choose a theme, people prepare, they make a scene, and stop for lots and lots of […]

Some Stuff

As you know, I stopped posting for over a year and started again just recently. But during that time it wasn’t that I was not writing, I just didn’t complete anything that I wrote. Currently I have 18 draft posts just sitting there waiting to be re-examined and maybe posted. Well this is one of […]

Bad Trek

The last post I wrote for this blog before I went on a ridiculously long break was about Star Trek Discovery. The show had just started, airing the first 2 episodes which created and destroyed the world I thought this story was to take place in. I had enjoyed the episodes but because I hadn’t… […]

Product placement

I still have friends that complain about product placement in movies. It used to be something that got to me as well but many years ago I kinda just got over it. Why? Because it properly reflects a realistic version of the world we live in. Look down at your clothes, look at your desk, […]

Until

Music is a strange thing. It is a series of strung together sounds that are pleasing to the listener. Unless of course you are an old crotchety man waving his stick at the damned youth of today. But music has a way of instilling emotions, making you move fast, or slowing you down for just… […]

Get untethered

I don’t like horror movies. As a young child I was afflicted with night terrors and that combined with an over active imagination did not bode well for an evening’s slumber. As I grew older the terrors waned but my dislike for horror persisted. But every once in a while a horror movie catches my… […]

If you liked the Manga…

Every once in a while I have the audacity to let someone else pick the movie I am going to watch. That is just crazy! But the other day my friend begged me to go see Alita: Battle Angel. Despite my reservations and due to him offering to pay, I said yes. This was a movie I… […]

Stop Living in the Past

Nostalgianoun a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal association something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia I get why nostalgia sells. For the most part it just makes people feel good. It is a familiarity taking you back to a […]

Colour Frenzy

Last week my nails took a break from being sealed in their lacquered hell. But I have managed to imprison them again in a colourful shiny prison. This week I used many colours and tried something new. It didn’t look as good as I wanted but it got a lot of attention, I think that was just because… …more

Music Monday

So after a lively discussion this morning about grunge music (not too sure how that started) it was deemed “Grunge Day” in our department. Which meant people sending around videos of old grunge bands. They included videos from bands I didn’t know like 7 Year Bitch and Bootsauce but other well known bands like Sloan… […]

Tri-Colour

So I am sitting at home on a Saturday fighting with myself. Get out of bed, eat, do something. As you can see I lost the battle. I am now doing something. Well really the need to eat won out over the need to do something but because I am in the ADD era just… […]

I kept listening

I was introduced to the stylings of Lana Del Rey though her now infamous appearance on SNL in January of 2012. The next day she was billed as the worst performer ever to appear on the show and dragged through the mud by the media and everyone online for the next little while. I… …more

Suit and Tie

Ok so I made a boo-boo last week. It was a busy week as usual (in recent times at least) and I did forget to post my nails. I thought I would do it on the weekend but … yeah, as you know that didn’t happen. I remembered just as I finished cleaning off my… […]

Happenings

It is incredible what happens when the sun comes out; people smile easier, your mood changes, and things just seem better. it is truly a miraculous thing. I say this simply because I am sitting at my desk staring at a blue sky with the warmth of the sun kissing my cheek. I just came back in from a… […]

Ode to Spring

I know recently I have only been posting “Nailed It!” articles but I promise to you that I will be posting other things next week as well. As it is the first official week of spring I decided to pay homage to this primaveral time. The birds return, the flowers grow, the temp rises, and… …more

Fun With Video

I was perusing io9 today and came across a few twistedly hilarious animations that I thought you would enjoy as well. Puppet Strange Oaks “STRANGE OAKS” from Headless Productions on Vimeo. Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty This one is… …more

Oxymoronic Nail Colour

Before I start this weeks discussion I have to say something about last weeks nail polish. So I used the Sephora X Neon colour “Obnoxious”, the yellow. It was the first time I had used that brand and I went through the proper steps (base coat, 2 colour coats, top coat) in the application… …more

Piet M

This week I actually had an inspiration for my nails. I did some research, did some shopping, and created a look I really like. Piet Mondrain is a name that few people outside of the art field know but most people are quite familiar with his work; works blocked with thick black lines filled… …more
