Thirty-seven didn’t turn out to be the year I expected it to be, in some ways that was good and in some ways that was very much not good. Leading off with the bad because it really felt like a dark cloud over the year, work drove me to some dark places. For me, I […]

Roseanne


Blog

Sometimes I do things, regarding television, that just seem stupid to other people. I like to watch a series from the beginning to the end regardless of whether I’m enjoying it or not.
