Twin Peaks is Odd, Fun, Cool, Everywhere, and You Should Totally Watch

By -
Happy Twin Peaks Day! To any true fan of this David Lynch and Mark Frost phenomenon of a tv classic, you know just what that means,  it is February 24th and Agent Cooper has arrived in the mountainside town of Twin Peaks. To the rest of the world, this means nothing. But it should. It really, really should.


It debuted in 1990, and I was only 6 years old at the time I obviously wasn't too into supernatural murder arthouse tv. Thankfully with time, and a love affair with Blue Velvet and IFC, I started to worship at the altar of Lynch and fell in love with this baffling tv show. It really is baffling. But it is worth the ride. Don't take notes, just go along with it and when you are done the binge watch (which as of this writing you can do on Netflix) you will just want to start all over again.

I don't want to tell you anything about the story, but here are my three favorite things that ever happened on the show and sum up just where Lynch and Frost were willing to go to tell a story. (These Youtube links are not my own)




I highly recommend that you watch now, because in 2016 we get another season, this time on Showtime. Maybe it has some new life and popularity thanks to Netflix, or maybe the prediction is just a big artistic follow through. No matter the reason, fans eveywhere are rejoicing. You will NOT want to be left behind!

20 Things to Accomplish In My 20s Project

By -

A new decade is on the horizon. That means new trends, new technology, new relationships, and new goals. As I approach a this fresh era, I want to have focus. The 2010s were a wild ride for everyone, David Bowie left us and Russia changed the face of Western Democracy. Minimalism and gentrification altered American culture. We became more individualized yet less recognizable as a society. In the Roaring 20s Take Two, I think we should all come together stronger and more cohesive. Let us love each other and appreciate our differences and lift each other up. Yet, we can only appreciate our place in the puzzle if we understand ourselves. Take care of our own space and do what we can. Ground ourselves and rebuild with focus. In order to do this, I have set a goal of 20 things I want to accomplish in the 20s. 20 things that will be kinder to myself and allow me to be kinder to others. 20 things that will bring stability and strength to my mental foundation. As a note, I left out publishin...

3 Product Rule: Finding the Beauty Middle Ground

I am sick and tired of being bombarded by beauty products. Buff this, dye that... it gets exhausting and I want out of the game. Not completely, of course. I don't want to be confused with my neighbor's basset hound. So, I have decided to simplify. Unless it is a formal event or a hot date, I now use the 3 product rule. A foundation/powder combo to lighten my under eye and smooth out an oily forehead, mascara, and a lip stain. Bam, done. My skin can breathe, I save 30 minutes a day, and I still look presentable. Hi world, there is a middle ground! PS- I'm not saying it HAS to be these three products, they're just what I happen to be using today. Do you have any suggestions?

Punk is Dad and the Decline of the Youth: An Opinion Piece

By -

"The Death of the Electric Guitar" pops up on the Washington Post feed.  "Kids are just into beeps and boops" "Punk is dead" "Worse, punk is DAD" "Why don't kids do something constructive?" "Music was better back in my day" You can't go a day without hearing about {or saying yourself} one of these things. Teens are simply not into rock. First, that is the parents' fault. I'm a mother of a teenager who knows more about punk than I do, because she grew up with it and stretched out on her own while I was busy working and keeping kids clothed and fed. Play some Anti-Flag for your kid once in a while, or at least New Found Glory. Start them young! But most importantly, where did the rock music go? Every single time I see a band- in different regions, mind you (I straddle DE, Philly, Lancaster, DC)- that I would love to take her to, it is 18+ or 21+. Local bands play bars, venues d...
