In early October of this year, the Internet was alive and buzzing over the latest, greatest Thing. I was, as per usual in this situation, ambivalent. What was the cause of so much excitement for seemingly everyone but me? The newest trailer for the forthcoming Star Wars installment, The Last Jedi. I was happy that […]

May 14, 2018 They might not be raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens, but that doesn’t mean that we love them any less.
