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*

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. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewin...

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capul...

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would ...
