Jan 6 Everybody Knows New Names: Recasting Cheers

Quite a few years ago (long enough that this movie was relevant), my friend Natalie and I put together our perfect Twilight cast while working out.

Books

It’s 2014, and in an effort to help with those resolutions, we’re hosting a book club!

There's a list inside this link, and a Spotify playlist for what is available online as well. Happy listening!

With honor and appreciation, Laura, Megan and I decided to take a moment to travel through space and time and look back at the past three seasons of Doctor Who. In this first of two parts, we take a look at some of the outer symbols of Eleven.
