‘Watched’- June-July

So every couple of months I like to come here and talk about some of the movies and television shows I’ve watched over the past few months. Unlike my music favourites series, in which I’m pretty positive about the items on the list, I’m usually pretty critical during the instalments of this series. Solely because of the fact that for every good movie I watch, there are around 5 bad ones that take its place. Maybe I’m just really bad at picking out movies? Maybe Netflix is just absolutely terrible at recommending things that I’ll actually like?

Music Favourites of June-July

I believe that music has the power to completely change a person’s mood, state of mind and even physical capability (haven’t we all run a little too fast on the treadmill while listening to that one song?). Therefore, every couple of months I come here and talk about my favourite music of the past couple of months. Not because any of you really, truly care; but because I just like to talk about music.

The Rise of The Anti-Role Model

I think it’s time we stop encouraging this strange narrative that celebrities singing and dancing on stage for a pay-check are somehow responsible for your child’s mental and psychological development. Sorry parents! You might have to actually start raising your own children instead of turning on the television and deciding that the first person that pops up on screen is your kid’s brand new parent.

The Modern Day Julie/Julia Project- Pretzels

If you don’t already know, this is ‘The Modern Day Julie/Julia Project,’ a continuing series here where I document my experience of learning how to cook. Now, this series actually started back in July of last year, when I still thought that I would be going to an actual college and not getting my undergraduate degree from a talking laptop screen.

‘Watched’- April-May

I think what I miss most about pre-pandemic life is being able to sit in a dark cinema hall for a couple of hours with a huge bag of popcorn, and sort of just disappear. A place where it is not just encouraged but expected for people to shut up.

Music Favourites of April-May

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions of a Random Blogger!’ Did you know that listening to music utilises all parts of the brain? A study conducted by Finnish researchers discovered that in order to decipher rhythm, tone and timber; dynamic sections of the brain showed large-scale neural activation. Today I’m going to be sharing […]

The Modern Day Julie/Julia Project- Cake Catastrophe!

Julia Child once famously said, “A party without cake is just a meeting.” However, at a time when neither a party or meeting of any kind is impossible without the assistance of monotonous virtual web conferences, I wanted to see if cake could make them any better.

The Modern Day Julie/Julia Project- Sincronizada

If you don’t already know, this is a continuing series where I document my experience of learning how to cook. As a broke college student, knowing how to cook at least a few basic things is literally life saving.

‘Watched’- February-March

Every couple of months, I like to come on here and talk about the movies and television shows I’ve watched recently. Not because it actually serves any actual purpose, or has any definitive meaning, but because I really enjoy writing these kinds of posts.

Music Favourites of February-March

Music has always been an incredibly dependable support system for me. From pre-exam stress to post-exam ennui, the right music can somehow completely transform my energy levels, emotions and (with exactly the right dosage of 1950s jazz) cure my periods of random, unwarranted neurosis.
