  • Watching: DC Animated Shows
    I’ve been on a kick lately, a nostalgia superhero kick. I grew up watching superhero cartoons, and never really stopped. It really hit me though that most of the animated shows I watched were DC. Of course I loved some Marvel stuff to, like X-Men,…

  • If My Life Were A Disney Soundtrack
    Sometimes I like to put together playlists on Spotifty. Recently I wondered, if my life had a soundtrack, what would it be? Then I went completely blank.  After thinking on it, I figured the best place for me to start would be with songs from Disne…
