Don’t Worry, It Gets Worse by Alida Nugent
Certainly an entertaining read, but it’s pretty much the same old song and dance as with other memoirs by funny twenty-somethings—stories about being single and jobless, having awful boyfriends and no money, finding a first apartment and struggling to buy groceries, pay the phone bill, and make student loan payments. The genre is starting to get…

I’m reading Alida Nugent’s Don’t Worry, It Get’s Worse. And now this is how I’m going to live my life.

It’s been a while…
It’s been a few days since I’ve entertained you all with my wit and charm, but I’m a very busy and important lazy person, so you shouldn’t be surprised. I do like to entertain, though, so in place of a one-liner (coming soon, I swear), please enjoy these Disney face swaps that a friend of mine found…

Look what I got!!!
It’s finally here! It’s finally here! I already know that Furiously Happy is going to be one of my favourite books, and not just because it’s gold and sparkly. And after how much I loved Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, I’m pretty ding dang darn excited for Hollow City, too! #ILoveBeingABookNerd

I should be sleeping…
But Don’t Worry, It Gets Worse by Alida Nugent is keeping me up. I wonder if my hysterical laughter is keeping my landlords up? #worthit

I… I’m not sure… but… I think… I think I have a crush on Mickey Rourke. There. I said it. Not so bad, right? In other news, I definitely have a crush on Nat Wolff. And I wouldn’t have expected it, but they make a great pairing—both of their characters are surprising and entertaining in…

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
I purchased this book because nearly two years ago a younger cousin of mine could do nothing but sing its praises. I was skeptical, and the photos of creepy children gave me pause (for real, creepy as hell), but it was on sale and I can’t help myself when it comes to purchasing books. And…

If Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t already one of your favourite actors, or if he’s not already a role model to scores of aspiring actors, he will be after this movie. He made me feel all the emotions. Granted, I probably would have loved this movie even if it had been mediocre (I unabashedly love all sports…

Guardians of the Galaxy
I have seen this movie five or six times now and my favourite parts remain those in which Peter Quill is singing and dancing. His dance off with Ronan is the very best. “Ooh oooh child, things are gonna get easier.”

A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout and Sara Corbett
For two reasons, I cannot believe that this is a memoir: It seems unimaginable, incredible, incomprehensible that this was her life for 460 days; that she suffered so much, that she was treated so horrendously, that she had the strength and mental capacity to constantly fight for herself both inwardly and outwardly. It is so…
