The Snyder Cut: A Superior Justice League Experience We Deserved
This post was originally about all the shows on my watchlist this month. But that changed once I watched Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I knew I had to share some of my thoughts with my fellow nerds. If you are like me, the theatrical release of Justice League in 2017 was one of your least favorite superhero movies. I can go on about terrible superhero movies, but guess what? Not today! That should tell you my initial thoughts on Synder’s version. It was well-made, understandable, and a million times better than the original release. Zack Snyder made great storytelling and…

A Weekend of Magic: A First-Timer’s Guide to the Best of Shanghai Disneyland
As you all know, I love theme parks and will visit any while traveling. Once I learned that I would be moving back to the U.S. after three years of living in Okinawa, Japan, I made plans to visit different countries, including Chiang Mai in Thailand, Taiwan, and China. I took a long holiday weekend from work to visit China to explore the Disney parks there. The first park I visited that weekend was Shanghai Disneyland. The park opened not too long after I moved to Japan, and I knew I would have to see it when I had the…

Exploring Enchantment: My Unforgettable Adventures at Tokyo Disney
Living in Japan afforded me many luxuries and unique experiences for which I am grateful. As a Disney fan, when I learned that there was a park in Tokyo, it was the first item on my to-do list. It is a privilege to say that Tokyo Disneyland was the second Disney park I’ve ever visited. Finding out about the Tokyo Disney park expanded my mind since I’ve only really thought about Disney World because it was the theme park most talked about. Going to Tokyo Disney awakened my desire to travel worldwide to all the Disney parks. Tokyo Disney has…

Why Haikyuu!! Spiked My Interest and Won Me Over
My knowledge of sports is minimal. I’m an avid baseball fan and have been obsessed with volleyball since I used to play in high school, but I sit to watch any other game if someone else is watching. Since I am such a big volleyball fan, a friend suggested Haikyuu!!, an anime based around the sport. I decided to give it a chance, but an anime about sports is never on my radar to keep my interest. I am HOOKED! Here is why you should be watching Haikyuu since sports are on hiatus. About the Show We follow Shoyo Hinata…

Showtime Favorites: My Top Musical Songs to Sing Along To
Musical theater became a fixture in my life at a young age. I fell in love with theater when I saw a play in middle school put on by the drama club of West Side Story. After seeing that production, I took drama classes as one of my electives. I was in the Aladdin show and did a scene for a variety show in middle school, as well as some other shows in high school. It became an obsession for me. Even before my love of musical theater, one of my favorite hobbies has been singing. To this day, I…

Living Life on the Fast Track: How I Fell in Love with Rollercoasters
Theme parks are a beloved pass time for many as they provide an escape from everyday life. From the wonderful world of Disney to the incredible vibe of Universal Studios, the amusement parks bring an exciting experience for guests of all ages. I’ve always loved visiting theme parks because I have an affinity for the euphoric feeling that I feel when visiting. One of the best parts of theme parks is the rides. I do have to confess, before I was 16, maybe even 17, I hated roller coasters. I know this is strange but hear me out. Growing up…
