Muppet Love
Over the Thanksgiving break, I took the kids to see The Muppets. As a longtime Muppet fan, I was so excited for this movie—the previews gave me hope that this was going to be the Muppets of my childhood, and … Continue reading
Twilight Confessions
I’m probably about to drop in your estimation—I like Twilight. I even went to see the movie this weekend, apparently along with a whole lot of other people. Based on my Twitter feed and other social media, though, few of … Continue reading
