Pilot Review: Mysteries of Laura
I’m choosing which TV pilot I watch very carefully and strategically: by the names that sound cool! Then I watch the trailer, followed by the pilot itself. The cut and dry on Mysteries of Laura: I like it! I feel like I should preface this with I love crime shows – but this is more of a drama/comedy. I’d give…

Pilot Review: Fresh Off the Boat
After gaining access to 12 pilots from ABC (I’m not really the first-to-know-type… it makes me a little obsessive) I’m feeling pretty fancy. I’m trying not to binge watch all of them, but as I write this I’m also trying to determine which show I’ll watch next. As well as how I can get the pilots…

The Infernal Devices Series Review
Let’s get this out in the open, quickly: The Infernal Devices was such a disappointment. It lacked originality, unique characters, and even back-bone. Synopsis Set in the late 1800s, Tessa Gray gets pulled into a dark, supernatural world with the discovery that she has powers beyond her understanding, or any of the Shadowhunters who come…

The Mortal Instruments: City of Lost Souls
I recall when I read the first book in this series, I kept rolling my eyes at how ridiculous everything was. By the second book I was like, incest? This is SUPER awkward. And yet I had fallen in love with Jace and Clary, and read on to the third novel. Once the entire plot…

Musician Ludovico Einaudi: Dietro Casa
I think if you’ve never of this guy, you need to. Ludovico Einaudi. If you’ve never listed to his music, do so now: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8fprSH8Eik] Definitely my favorite pianist. Possibly my favorite musician. He performed in the United States last October, I believe, but unfortunately I was unable to attend. I’ll find another way. :)…

North & South
I told myself not to start any new TV series. I’ve got plenty to catch up on, but all of those I’m at least a season behind on. I’ve gotten into a horrible habit of watching TV before bed though, so I feel bored and restless without a show. Last night, I tried to use Netflix…
