Unless you’ve been living on a deserted island in the Bahamas, in a former FEMA tent, subsisting on cheese sandwiches, you’re aware — aware that there are TWO competing documentaries about Fyre Festival for you to enjoy. Some news outlets will pit the two against each other. Some will debate the merits of…

My Favorite True Crime Documentaries
True Crime Documentaries are all the rage! I don’t need to tell you that the genre has become increasingly popular, but not all true crime documentaries are created equal. I’ve watched COUNTLESS documentaries (all for you!) and I’ve determined that the best true crime documentaries are those that keep feeding you a steady stream of shocking details,…
My Little Problem With The Big Sick
So the other day, I watched the romantic comedy The Big Sick! I’d been wanting to see this movie for a long time, basically since it first came out and was immediately heralded by critics. Now, if you know anything about the movie, you know that it’s the true story of the early days of comedian Kumail Nanjiani…
Currently… in April 2018
FEELING: Deep in the throes of PMS + Mercury retrograde + depression, FUN. Fun fun fun. It’s really messed me up, and the endlessly cold and grey weather doesn’t help. I’m struggling to see a light at the end of the tunnel or any hope that things will change as I feel like life keeps beating me…
GOOD NEWS! Congrats to the WINNER of ALL STARS 3!!!

GOOD NEWS! Life Is Back To Abnormal!
This was taken at DragCon last weekend (or the weekend before that? Gosh, time is flying) which is why there’s a pink carpet behind me. Duh! So like I said, this week is flying by! I’ve been helping out at the studio, despite catching a milder version of my boyfriend’s cold. This weekend is…
How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Watch Cold War Documentaries (See What I Did There?)
How are we doing this week? Rough? I hear ya. My Thanksgiving was bittersweet: calm and (mostly) relaxed, overcast and cozy — just how I like it! Now that the weekend is here, it’s back to work, but I thought I’d share my secret to getting through the “holiday of thanks” (lol yeah right…
Carrie’s Side
Mom: “Hi Carrie, how was school today?” Carrie: “Fine. We drew pictures of our families…but I’m worried about my friend Cindy.” Mom: Oh? Why is that? Carrie: “Well, it was Tyler’s birthday today, so his dad brought in cupcakes, but Cindy couldn’t have any. She had to sit in the nurse’s office until after we…
Field Guide to Female Friendships
Women! Who can begin to understand them? Male philosophers, psychoanalysts and stand-up comedians have tried to comprehend and explain the way the female brain works. If these men of science have such difficulty understanding women, what hope is there for mere women? The resulting paradox is that many women have difficulty making friends with…
Dear Santa…
Dear Santa: I don’t ask for much in the way of gifts and presents, because what I really want can’t sit under the tree with a shiny red bow on top. Santa, if you think (as I do) that I’ve been good this year, I will be even better next year if you bring me…
