~:: Frozen – a Case for Thawing Out a Little ::~

I haven’t blogged for months, and what finally goads me into writing? A movie. Or rather, some public reaction to a movie.        When I saw the trailer for Frozen, months and months ago, I wasn’t interested; obnoxious … Continue reading

~:: Where Did All the Stories Go? ::~

~:: Inversion pt. 2 ::~
