New blog look + a question for you

-
Yes, I changed the blog look again.  No, I don't know what I'm doing.  The look I just had was nice, I get that.  For some reason it just wasn't working for me right now. *shrugs*  Anyway, what think you?

my muse @ me

So, I'm feeling a bit unmotivated when it comes to blogging.  I have plenty of ideas, but I think with everything else that's going on right now (a pandemic, school concerns, necessary discussions of racism), I don't have much emotional bandwidth left, I suppose. 

Still, blogging can also be cathartic for me.  Talking to you guys, whether the topic be frivolous or profound, can be therapeutic.  So we're going to make it our goal to keep working on some new posts. 😜  In that vein, I thought I'd gauge your interest level for a few different posts I currently have either already in drafts or percolating in mah brain.  You take a look-see and let me know which strikes your fancy, will you?  I can't guarantee that'll be the one that gets published first — or ever — but it'd help me to read the room. 😉

Post Possibilities

"Christian Media:  The Representation of Suffering"

"Reparations, America, and Frozen II"

" // summer reads // "

"Enneagram Types as 'Once Upon a Time' Characters"

"The Sunshine Blogger Award"

"All the live action Disney remakes (so far), ranked."


What's it to be?

How are you doing?

What's going on in your life right now?

    Ooh, I vote for ALL of them, hahaha! But, um, my first choice is ‘summer reads’ (I enjoy the aesthetic of these posts immensely 😍), and second is the Sunshine Blogger Award! 🤗

    All these ideas sound smashing, but "Christian Media: the Representation of Suffering" I NEED, and "Reparations, America, and Frozen II" I ABSOLUTELY NEED.

      I suspected you would be interested in those two! ;D I'm still deliberating on whether to write the reparations/Frozen one, but . . . I'm leaning towards yes. We shall see. ;-P

    Your new blog look is nice, Olivia! And I definitely get the whole "unmotivated to blog" thing. :P
    I'd probably vote for "Christian Media", "Reparations, America, and Frozen II", "summer reads", or "The Sunshine Blogger Award"... so... pretty much any of them. xD

    To answer your other questions... I've been doing pretty well, thanks! School has been one of the main things going on for me right now. How about you? :)

    Hope you've been doing well! <3 *hugs*

      Thank you, Faith! I appreciate it. Haha, yes, it's difficult to stay motivated sometimes. :-P

      And thanks for giving your preference! It's helpful.

      Good! Same, actually? School, family stuff, and various work things. And then, of course, trying to maintain my sanity with reading, movie-watching, and other creative endeavors. ;D

      Thank you! I hope you have been, too. *hugs back*

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Movies: Month in Review {February 2018}

First things first: I changed my blog look!  March 1st is the first day of spring to me, and "I will brook no argument."  So that means, for me, that SPRING HAS BEGUN!!! Obviously, I can't keep a winter blog look if I think it's spring , now, can I? ;)  What do you all think of it?  I'm pretty happy with it, though I may change the sidebar back to the right-hand side, and I might change my profile picture. And now, the post. ///// Captain America: Civil War (2016) First of all, it probably would have been better if I had seen Avengers: Age of Ultron before watching this, but no matter.  My brother was able to fill in the gaps for me. This one excited many mixed feelings in me. basically I'm holding off on sharing my thoughts about most of the characters until I can get caught up on the rest of the Marvel movies (I've watched several but am quite behind on some others), but for now: I don't know whose "te

Ivanhoe (1997) movie review

I think you all know this, but I am a rather big Ivanhoe fan.  I read the book for the first time a number of months ago and absolutely fell in love.  Well, now that I loved the book, I must needs try out the film adaptations, mustn't I? My first preference would have been for the 1982 version starring Anthony Andrews and Olivia Hussey, as I'd seen clips of that and they looked decent.  Unfortunately, however, my library system doesn't have it, and neither does YouTube or Netflix or other such commodities:(  Thus, I had to content myself with first seeing the 1997 miniseries version, which I just finished yesterday. Here are my thoughts;) Opening scene:   Why is it starting with Ivanhoe being flogged?  This makes little sense. *sigh*  Overall…I'm torn.  Certain things were done extremely well, and some were done…not so well.  The main problem, put succinctly, is that it kept making me have this reaction so many times: Seriously, though.  I mean, I loved t

BBC Robin Hood TV Series, Season 1 Review

First off, this part was the CUTEST. THING. EVER. *takes deep, shuddery breath* Okay, peoples. I'm going to try my very best to get through this review.  It'll be hard.  Because what even is this. For starters, let me say that I have only watched the first season of the BBC Robin Hood .  This is because the show is going off Netflix on February 9th *sniffle*, so I knew there was no way I'd be able to squeeze watched 26 episodes of a very feelsy show into a mere couple of weeks.  So I've watched the first season and will leave it at that until I can find some other way to watch the rest.  It was also because I know That Which Happens At The End Of Season Two, and I was so not  about to put myself through that when there was a danger of not being able to watch the third season.  There is a possibility that I might just skip the second season and watch the third, even though that would mean missing so much of Djaq and Will and even though I've he
