Year 5, Day 304: Christmas ’22 in Review!

Christmas morning at my parents' house has long been a sluggish affair. Sure, there were the days of yore when I would wake up early (like, 3 AM) out of excitement for what was under the tree, but as my brothers and I got older (not to mention my parents), Christmas gradually became a late-morning … Continue reading Year 5, Day 304: Christmas ’22 in Review! →

Day 119: A Sort-of Review of Hereditary

Today, Jaclyn and I made our second baby-free excursion of the weekend, ducking out to see Hereditary, the recent release about a mother who experiences a psychotic break because her daughter won't stop making a clicking sound with her tongue (or so I gathered from the trailer). Also, at some point a human catches on … Continue reading Day 119: A Sort-of Review of Hereditary →
