  • Excitement for Supergirl!

    Excitement for Supergirl!

    As some of you may know, the premiere for Supergirl season two is right around the corner. I’ve only been a fan of the show for about a month but I’m just as anxious for 8PM Monday as anyone else. I’m a bit bummed that Hulu isn’t streaming shows from The CW anymore because when I can’t watch right away I’ll have to either remember to set the DVR ahead of time or watch it on a friends Plex media server.

    As stated, I was a bit late to the Supergirl bandwagon but I’m glad I eventually came around. I was reluctant to watch the show initially because I wasn’t hearing too many good things about it from family and friends. I recall seeing part of one episode while visiting my parents and having no interest whatsoever to continue watching. Meanwhile, my hubby had briefly mentioned that he watched the crossover episode with The Flash but none of the others which further made me wonder if it was worth my time.

    Amino, Where Have You Been All My Life?

    It’s been awhile since I’ve really just fallen in love (or heavy like) with any social apps. I’m a little burnt out on the infamous Facebook and I mainly just use it to lurk on family and friends now. I occasionally post things about food, date nights, and watching movies but its essentially a yawn fest user experience for me. I have also started to use my twitter account a bit more but it isn’t something I check everyday or have made a lot of connections with. I presume it could be because of the 140 character limit but I think there’s a little more to it than that such as the lack of engagement. I realize that getting people to interact with you should be at least a 50/50 effort but its just so much work. Some people are able to get interaction from their followers without putting in much action themselves but I don’t feel like I’m quite at that level. I definitely plan to continuously work on it though.

    The only other social platform I’ve used sporadically in the past years is Google+, I joined while it was still in beta stage and for quite some time it was my absolute favorite site to frequent. I’ve made a few friends from the site and initially met my hubby through the site as well so it has had its highlights for sure. Unfortunately within the past year or so its struggled to hold my interest. But never fear, Amino is here!

  • Hey There!

    Hey There!

    So, I haven’t updated this website in over a year and its pretty pathetic. The YouTube channel has been neglected for an even longer amount of time. In truth the past year has been a bit of a journey and I haven’t had the time or resources to keep up with the blog the way I originally intended… I’ve had two major surgeries within the past five months so for awhile my sole interest in getting on the internet involved streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Plex, etc and a few social media posts here and there. However, things are about to change a lot.

    I’m re-locating to the Atlanta, Georgia area next week to begin a new life with my hubby and no that’s not a pet name I’m legitimately getting hitched in the very near future and I’m excited about it. He’s my biggest fan and has always been extremely supportive of me starting this website. Even throughout my hiatus he’s told friends and co-workers about this blog because he’s proud of me. So I feel like that in combination with being around him every day is going to be a constant motivator to keep this thing running. I’ll have more time and energy to commit to giving it the attention it seriously deserves, FINALLY. 

    As for other changes in the past year aside from the health issues and getting married. I’ve purchased a PS4 since my last post and an iPhone 6s O_o (I still love android I swear, just wanted to try something new). I’m also going to be getting back into gaming on Xbox One soon too since I’m acquiring one by marriage, lol.

     My hubby is a tech head just like me so I plan to get him to assist me with a few things here and there. I also hope to get him to make an appearance on a few of my vlogs but that may take some begging. I definitely plan on uploading a new video sometime in September and posting more on here after I get settled in from my big move ツ
