jawlines over storylines
I’ve been really catching up on my movie watching lately. Today’s much-delayed movie conversation is going to be about Dunkirk. My feelings were very love/hate. Loved: HARRY STYLES. Tom Hardy the cinematography the chiseled cheeks and strong jawlines Hated: everything else hate is a strong word. thoroughly disliked is more like it. I only watch war movies for the men in uniform. Pearl Harbor? Josh Hartnett. Black Hawk Down? Josh Hartnett. Dunkirk? Tom Hardy & Harry Styles (Fionn Whitehead is a strong runner-up, but he’s barely out of diapers.) Apart from that, I usually depend on the fact that there will be a love story or a bromance to keep…

here comes 30
In a month from Wednesday, I’ll be 30. 30 Holy hell. That was a fast 3 decades. I’ve been feeling my age lately, like my mind and body are already making the transition to this new phase of life. Today I’m going to talk about them so that you can comment down below and tell me you’re experiencing the same things and I could sigh, wipe my brow and think “woooo, it’s not just me”. Everything hurts Last month, I got up off my couch, turned to pick up my phone and couldn’t straighten up. I swear I saw stars. It was the worst. It took about two weeks to…

slacking on styles
Guys, I’ve been slacking. Harry Styles’ album came out two weeks ago and I have yet to give my two cents. The truth is I was sidelined by a bout of sciatica that still hasn’t totally resolved itself, but at least now I can sit in blogger pose on my bed without wanting to die. Also, yea, sciatica. 29 going on 90. Anyway… Harold, Harold, Harold. I’ve been saying for a while that I’ve been waiting for music to make a turn from the junk that’s on the radio now and go back to when songs made sense. When you can listen to a song and understand every word being…

Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney’s lovechild
“You know, Martina hasn’t talked about Harry Styles in a while. I hope she’s OK” – you, probably (definitely not) I’m fine. Harry’s fine. We’re all fine. The kids are good. School’s almost out and we’re all looking forward to the summer… Did I just lapse into fan fiction? Oh well. Don’t judge. Anyway, Harry is gearing up for the release of his debut solo album and he’s making the rounds. Yesterday, he was on Good Morning America giving us a sample of what’s coming. Let me tell you – I am here for it. HERE . FOR . IT. I’ve missed that manly rasp of his. come to mama. Harry…

i’m back! and whinier than ever!
I told you I wouldn’t be back right away. I didn’t think it would take this long for me to actually sit and write something to post, yet here we are a mere month later. I’m going to be real with you. I’ve thought about writing and posting pretty much every single day. And every day something would “come up”. I’m stuck at work. I have nothing to say. I’m tired. and on, and on, and on… I don’t know what’s going on with me, but I’m hoping that by getting this posted, I can break away from whatever is bothering me. I’m in one of those stages where I can’t…

1DWD, if you will.
It’s been a minute since I’ve gushed about my favorite foursome, aka One Direction. It’s been a big week for at least two of them and being the good fan that I am, I’m here to celebrate their successes. Harry, my love, has done his first solo magazine interview for AnOther Man magazine. He has cut his luxurious (yet, kind of greasy looking) locks and has taken us through the process. What resulted from that is a very Mick Jagger inspired photo shoot. His interview was conducted by Sir Paul McCartney and Chelsea Handler, which I would have loved to sit in on, it must have been a good time.…

a (sort of belated) friday favorites
Hi, friends! It’s Friday, who’s excited? I mean, duh. I was supposed to have this post up last week, but whatever. I had an abnormally full week of work last week and it got away from me. Today I’m coming to you with a Friday Favorites, what else? Kodiak Cakes I saw these on Instagram a few months ago and since then, I’ve been on the hunt. They’re the Easy Mac of pancakes. Except they’re healthy. I finally found them at Target and got the Cinnamon Maple and Blueberry Maple flavors. By now I’ve tried both and they’re pretty good. They’re a little dry, so I put a little butter…

friday five + a (mini) rant!
It’s Friday – #thankgod. I haven’t done a Friday Five in a while because I haven’t liked anything enough if we’re being honest here. I’m going to try to throw a few things together because, well, it’s Friday and I feel like it’s the right thing to do. Let’s get into it, shall we? Mindy is back in April. The 12th, to be exact. Finally! It’s been long enough, no? Who’s ready for my obsessive re-caps? Because I’m for sure ready to write them. 2. It’s been a week since the Grammy’s, but I have to say that I cannot get enough of the performances. Specifically, the Carrie Underwood/Sam Hunt one…

the one before the break
Ok, here’s the deal. I totally did NOT want to write about One Direction. Their hiatus has officially started, we’ll see them in 18 months (hopefully). BUT. They did a Carpool Karaoke sesh with James Corden and it got me feeling all sorts of things. But mostly things that make me go RAWR. So, we all know what Carpool Karaoke is, right? Basically, James Corden and a musical star drive around singing said star’s songs. Get it? Good. Watch this one and then we’ll come back and discuss. what good boys, putting their seatbelts on. “Turn the air con on” – Harry. soulmates. nobody likes to schvitz. i wonder if…

the end?
With only a week left until their newest album comes out, One Direction released another song from the album today. They’ve said it’s one of their favorites and I could totally see why. Here’s the song with lyrics. one stop shopping over here. At first, I assumed that this song was, again, about Harry and Taylor because God forbid I let that die. So I was pretty excited. More dirt, more unrequited love. Then I Googled around a bit and read that it was a song for the fans. Whaaat? No. It’s about Harry and Taylor. How could it not be? They are both obviously still hurting after ending a three…
