I was gifted a huge box of pastries for Artmas (my community's version of Secret Santa where the only requirement is that your gift be homemade) so I've been snacking on them every time I go into my room. Cheese danishes, bear claws, apple turnovers, persimmon pinwheels, croissants, apple walnut...

Last night was Snowpiercer. After a chemical is released that freezes the earth and kills off all life, the remainder of the human race all live inside one train with an eternal engine. The train mimics the real-life class structure with the status of the passengers' tickets determining their...

Yesterday was cold and rainy so after my ranch chores were done for the day I settled in with my Secret Santa project and watched Laura (1944) and Peeping Tom (1960). Both excellent movies with plot twists that I can get behind! Laura kept my attention so thoroughly throughout that at one point...

The other day I watched The 39 Steps. I like Hitchcock a lot, but this one wasn't my favorite. Maybe I was just distracted by my crochet project, but it seemed kind of boring and anticlimactic. Also recently, The Uninvited, a story about a brother and sister who move into an old house and...

I'm assuming you're referring to the Wizard of Oz with The Dark Side of the Moon album dubbed over it. If so, I've seen it once. My house hosted and outdoor movie night last Summer where we projected it onto a sheet in the yard. It was interesting and the music does sync up pretty well to what's...

I'll have to try this. Our chickens free range our pastures in mobile shelters on a rotational grazing system following our beef herd so they get a lot in the summer time. People with personal shelters here are always begging us to move them across the farm to near their yards in the summer so...

This also really gets to me. Living with 70 other people in the woods, I always cringe a little when I see people skip the hand washing sink in the dinner line. Even further, I get absolutely livid when I see people reaching their grubby hands into food containers instead of using a utensil. I...

My boyfriend recently found out that I had never watched Breaking Bad, so we just spent about a month powering through it and followed up with the El Camino movie. Like most other AMC shows, I was thoroughly entertained. Minus the females of the show, most of which I found to just be...

I usually reserve make up for special occasions like holidays or going into town. Living on a farm, this is more out of practicality than anything. Most of my work begins right as I wake up so I don't necessarily have time in the mornings to put make up on. By the time I'm done with the morning...

I just finished BBC's Back In Time For Dinner. It was quite entertaining! It was interesting to see how food habits throughout the years have shaped people.

Celestial Seasonings's Raspberry Zinger! I'm not very fancy :p

I recently started reading Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susan. I'm not very far yet (November of '45), but I'm absolutely hooked.

The sign-up list for my community's version of "Secret Santa" was posted on the day board last week. I immediately thought to myself, "Oh no! Its that time of year again." My grandmother used to go crazy with the Christmas decorations. It always looked like a bad holiday movie threw up both...

I have an emergency bag with spare clothes, a blanket, water, medical supplies, etc in it that I would grab, along with my photo albums since they are the only pictures of my mother that I have and they are irreplaceable.

I grew up with one of the last operating Sky View drive-ins in my town, and its still operating with no threats of closing any time soon. We would always go to the first showing of the season even if we didn't want to see the movie because the opening of the drive-in meant that Summer was here...
