Let’s remember why we go together so well. Favorite holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas Favorite seasons: Fall and Winter Being born in the Midwest, I learned to appreciate the cold weather and avoid the grouchy, Summer folk.

SNL: Kim Kardashian Divorce Special

Paranormal Activity

The Shining is and will always be my favorite horror flick, but the Paranormal Activity films may be a close second. The third one isn’t out yet, but from the trailers, it looks amazing. If you haven’t seen any of them, I highly recommend watching the first two so you’ll be first in line for [...]
