At the time of this writing, I have been quarantined for FIFTY DAYS. Fifty. Some of the time it feels like yesterday, and other times it feels like a thousand years ago. One of the best things about quarantine is that we’ve been cooking up a storm. Mostly my sister, truth be told although I do cook for myself when I’m home and am not terrible at it. However, I’m more of a baker while my sister’s the cook! I […]

I am not a major Easter celebrator, at least not in a religious way. We’ve always gotten together as a family, did the whole Easter egg hunt thing and had a big meal together, but we are not really church-goers. My mom belongs to a couple of churches and we would occasionally attend with her, but this was always with a more spiritual rather than religious attitude. However, I have never had a super special connection to Easter: I didn’t […]

I think we can all agree that it pretty much sucks this year to have a March birthday. Mine was three weeks ago, on March 12th, and it was the day everything started to change. Initially I had been excited, because our Parent/Teacher Conferences were cancelled for safety reasons. But that also meant I no longer had to work late on my birthday. However, it was also the day the restrictions began: Broadway shut down as well as tons of […]

A few weeks ago I got an email that Rose Mansion was returning to New York. My friends and I attended the first round last summer, so it seemed only fitting that we attend again! (It’s also now a tradition, based on the fact that we’ve been two years in a row now… but we’ll see what happens next year!) For those who don’t know about Rose Mansion, it’s basically a rose wine tasting, with fancy and fun photo opportunities. […]

Though my every Friday night run of shows ended a while ago, I still find every excuse I can to get to the theater. Saturday afternoon I attended a matinee of Beetlejuice: The Musical as part of a belated birthday outing from my mom. Overall, Beetlejuice is fun. I didn’t realize going in just how popular the movie actually was amongst its fans. I like it, I used to watch it a lot when I was younger, but I learned […]

I swear I don’t go out as much as this recent string of out and about posts would imply. Normally I’m just home binge-watching Netflix and working on sewing projects, but for whatever reason the next couple of weeks are full of shows. Currently, I’m in the middle of a six show Friday night streak, and I’m outlining them all here. This past Friday’s show was Dear Evan Hansen, the Tony-award winning Broadway musical. A co-worker of mine was nice […]

Last week I did a review of The Cauldron, an immersive Harry Potter potions experience, and it made me realize that I never posted about my Mad Hatter’s G&T experience back in June. This was along the same lines as the Cauldron experience, in that you mixed and made your own cocktails, but this time around it was all based on Alice in Wonderland, which beats out even Harry Potter for one of my favorite stories of all time. Bear […]

“You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don’t expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. . . I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death — if […]

One of thing things about living in Brooklyn is that you’re in close proximity to everything in the surrounding boroughs, as well as a lot of surrounding upstate New York, if you have the means to get there (which I do since, unlike fellow New Yorkers, I prefer driving to taking public transportation). I often find myself happening upon strange things to do, either via one of my tangents on the internet or social media. Thus I stumbled upon Rose […]
