Movie: Lady and the Tramp (1955)
Yes, the one with the dogs. As a growing tradition every Sunday night, I begin a movie at midnight in order to delay the coming Monday blues. Usually, I just watch whatever I happen to have at hand; I had many choices then, but I eventually landed on Disney’s Lady and the Tramp. I had zero…

(Un)Expected Things
Well, hello again. #1 One Direction (It’s a new day when the first on my list is a British pop boy band.) I was helpless to resist. I was happily browsing through youtube, enjoying inadvisable amounts of the Ellen Show clips and live performances of Beyonce, when suddenly a “Best Moments” kind of video appeared…
