Bio

Welcome to the blog of a 30-something born and bred New York girl. I'm a movie and book lover and I like to embrace those relaxing moments curling up with a good book or dvd.

I'm using my blog to share what I find compelling and intriguing by posting my personal reviews. I suppose I have pretty geeky taste in what I like to watch and read. I particularly like watching documentaries, especially relating to WWII. I am also interested in true crime, historical dramas, and foreign films.

I am interested in the human condition - the good, the bad and everything in between. I am interested in the complexities of people.

I'm a history buff and I'm especially interested in pre-WWII Weimar Germany and WWII Germany. I also have a great interest in the 19th and early 20th century history of the immigrant experience in New York. I am also fascinted with old Vaudeville, and 1920's and 1930's culture.

I have a major goofy side to my personality. I like to find the humorous side of life. Oh and btw I have a really weird sounding laugh. I laugh a lot, usually at silly and weird things. I also talk a lot too.

I like to enjoy the simple things. I love snow; The springtime; Planting a beautiful garden; Spoiling my cat; Ladybugs; Gingers; Daydreaming...

I have a lot of quirks too. I like to read the newspaper by sitting on the floor and laying it our in front of me, I find this to be most comfortable; When I am relaxing at home on my computer, I find it comfortable to sit on my chair either cross legged or on my knees instead of sitting with my butt on the seat and my feet on the floor like, you know, a normal person; I have never been able to swallow even a tiny spoonful of Jell-O in my entire life, I have tried but whenever I put a glob in my mouth I imagine something disgusting and I just cannot bring myself to swallow it; The smell of Clorox literally makes me gag; Whenever I see an earthworm on the sidewalk after it rains, I feel bad that it is going to lay there, dry out and die or get stepped on so I have to stop and pick it up and put it back in the soil. Ok..yeah I guess I can be pretty weird.

I am a Christian, I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, and my faith is very important to me.
