So, my plan to write more has kind of gone by the wayside the past five weeks or so. There are a number of reasons for it: *adjusted my living situation a bit *work changed to be busier (understatement!!! :P) *went on an up, then a down and am somewhere in between now *my head is…

Almost exactly a year ago, I finished reading the book _Unbroken:  A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption_ by Laura Hillenbrand. I wrote about it and then I even wrote a brief about it, which was published on Amazon. So, when I heard that the film was being made, I was quite excited…

Well, today is the last weekday of holidays with nothing left but an ordinary weekend separating me from the ‘real’ world again. 🙁 In the past three weeks, I had grand plans to be productive, but instead I relaxed and had a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact, that I could see myself…
