TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part Two

Here are the answers to the second six questions Goldstein asks on his podcast. To read the first six, see last week’s post. What is the sexiest TV Show? — Queer as Folk (the 1999-2005 Showtime series). And not just because there is sex in the show (which there is quite a lot – IContinue reading “TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part Two”

TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part One

When I did the original blog posts about Brett Goldstein’s podcast Films to Be Buried With, I kept thinking – if I could include a TV show, this category would be SO much easier to respond to (looking at you, ‘most relatable’ question). So I thought, why not answer the same questions with TV shows?Continue reading “TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part One”

Love Letter for a Writing (and Reading) Buddy

I still remember when I took my first creative writing course in undergrad and the terror I felt when I learned about workshop and that we’d be doing this in class. Other people would read what I wrote. For the first time. Ever. In my life. And then talk about it in front of me.Continue reading “Love Letter for a Writing (and Reading) Buddy”

Green Bay Café Crawl: Part Two

Last week, I talked about five cafés in my city that I’ve been to before. For this week, I explored new places (four cafés, a tea house, and a spot I randomly stumbled onto). Crystal Coffee Café and Beanery*2625 Packerland DrMon – Fri 6 a.m. – 2 p.m.; Sat 7 a.m. – 1 p.m.; SunContinue reading “Green Bay Café Crawl: Part Two”

Green Bay Café Crawl: Part One

I’ve always loved a good coffee shop. It’s my vibe, I guess. I prefer a local shop, preferably with mismatched furniture, plates, and mugs. Local art on the walls. A place where you can sit and study or read or write for hours. My first love from these experiences was and will always be chaiContinue reading “Green Bay Café Crawl: Part One”

Green Bay Mural Crawl

For a lot of people who don’t live in this city, when they hear our name, they probably tend to think football. If you asked them what else we might have, chances are that artists are low on that list, if they’re mentioned at all. However, we have a thriving artist community here – weContinue reading “Green Bay Mural Crawl”

Green Bay Bookstore Crawl

I have a rather long commute to work, and when people ask me why I don’t move to the city where I work, I joke that I could never live in a city that can’t sustain a bookstore. Honestly, it’s half a joke. (The other not-so-jokey part is how expensive said city is, especially sinceContinue reading “Green Bay Bookstore Crawl”

Green Bay – The Best City to Live In

Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report voted Green Bay, WI, #1 Best Place to Live. Now, even as someone who has returned to this city over and over (I’ve moved here three times, only leaving out of necessity), I have to admit I was a bit surprised to hear this. I mean, haveContinue reading “Green Bay – The Best City to Live In”

Films to Be Buried With, Part Two

Here are the answers to the second six questions Goldstein asks on his podcast. To read the first six, see last week’s post. What is the sexiest film? — Unfaithful with Diane Lane, Richard Gere, and Olivier Martinez. I had no idea what the film was about going into it – I just adored RichardContinue reading “Films to Be Buried With, Part Two”

Films to Be Buried With, Part One

As I wrote about in my last post, I started listening to Films to Be Buried With a few months ago, which is Brett Goldstein’s podcast. I really enjoy listening – it doesn’t matter if I have any idea who the guest is or not. The notion of a conversation about life through film isContinue reading “Films to Be Buried With, Part One”
