Pokémon has been an influential part of almost 2/3rds of my life. To mark this milestone Top Ten (I have done 75 of these suckers minna-san, excluding special ones!), I felt Pokémon had to do the honor. So, without further ado, here are my Top Ten Pokémon Themes/Openings. At the bottom is a video with…
Things I have Learned About Teaching (a special top ten):
Next Thursday, a new school year will begin. My room will be shiny and pretty, the smell of fresh crayons floating in the air as I get to greet a new class of students. I get as nervous as the kids, but I am grateful for such a supportive work family and district that lets…
Top 15 Favorite MCU Movies (Top Ten #74):
Back in May, like everyone else, I went to see Infinity Wars. And, honestly, I really liked it, but I was confused on a lot of it. Those who know me know that I am not really a comic book/superhero nerd; being an otaku is my nerd niche. Now, I had seen the other two…
A.U. Author’s Gold Interview: Rachel Stiber
My second summer author interview is here and I am thrilled that I got to interview the sweetest local author I know! I met Rachel at my first Cape Con in 2016 and her sunny air and bright smile made me feel at ease from the start. We chatted easily and her tender love for…

Let’s begin summer and June with a refreshing lady that gives her readers adventures with heart with each installment she composes. I met Mrs. Hale two years ago at Cape Comic Con and I loved her affectionate and light-hearted personality right away. She was easy to talk to and had a book, “Shadows of Jane,”…
Top 15 Favorite X-Men (Top Ten #72)
Most know that my niche of nerdom is being an otaku. One genre of nerd I am not overly into, sinful to many, is superheroes.

Soundtrack to My Life (Top Ten Special):
What is happening, peeps?! Music has been an extremely important part of my life, bringing me much joy, a passion in school, friendships, inspiring teachers, a light to my creativity, and led me to the love of my life. I owe a lot to song and how it allows me escape my troubles, dream, and…
