A character with disabilities who profoundly influences me from a film or TV show
The first character with a disability I saw on television was Jordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I have always admired his character. He never let his physical impairment hinder his romantic life or career. As the chief engineer of Enterprise D, Jordi faced romantic struggles but found a wife and had two children. He even runs a Starship Museum. Jordi exemplifies that a disability doesn't have to stand in the way of achieving one's goals. He is blind and uses

Welcome to Derry, season one review
Welcome to Derry, season one review This show is one of the best I've seen in 2025. The show is an expansion of the new IT movies that recently came out The show actually made me feel bad for Ingrid Kirsch, Bob Gray's daughter. The original Pennywise, I understand why she felt compelled to help The Entity. Because losing a parent can be one of the worst pains a person can experience, and everybody would do anything in their power to get that parent back, I do not like the lo

My family's summer trip that I'll somehow survive
My family normally takes 2 weeks every summer, generally in August, to travel to Vermont; at least that's how it used to go. It was usually 11 hours of being stuck in a car. I've recently learned that the 11-hour trips were mostly because my parents left later than they intended these days. With my older siblings off with their own lives, I am unofficially designated the person they take on vacation. I honestly thought I'd have more of a life of my own. By that I mean not spe

My dead best friend' Zoe. Movie review.
A few days ago, my father and I attended a movie I hadn’t even realized was showing. I left the theater deeply moved and convinced that veterans should bring their families to see this film. It offers invaluable insight into veterans' challenges and helps loved ones understand, even partially, the experiences their veteran family members endured during military service. The film brilliantly portrays the struggles of readjusting to civilian life after the trauma of war, with a

My dining experience at Tony's restaurant
I have been to Tony's several times, so I would like to review the place. I appreciate that they have plenty of waitstaff whenever I go. The restaurant typically has a fair number of patrons and is successful enough to have a second location in Rockville. I’ve tried several dishes, including seafood, pasta, and pizza. My favorite so far is the spaghetti. I also enjoy their cheesecake. I found it easy to make reservations, and I like that you can tailor the dishes to your pref

Joker. Movie review.
Hey everybody, I am writing this because a second movie that continues the Joker story is coming out soon. I enjoyed The Joker because I thought it did a decent job of exploring the mental makeup of a person with what I believe to be schizophrenia. It took me a while to realize that he was suffering. I thought that it was multiple personality disorder. But when I was filming a second time, I realized it was schizophrenia. The movie flips between reality a

Seinfeld show because who doesn't want to watch a show about nothing Seinfeascinating showayaTheeveryday lift highlights tfriendsor in the mundane.George CostanzaCosmo KramerBenesElaine Benesa writerC
I enjoy the show. I primarily watch it on Comedy Central. Seinfeld is one of those timeless shows. These situations that Jerry and his friend find themselves in are relatable to many adults. Seinfeld shows about four adults living life the best they can. First and foremost, there is Jerry Seinfeld, a comedian in New York City, along with his small circle of friends) Georgia Castanza. This moderately successful real estate agent goes through several career shifts as the s

My second Cruise experience
My father and I took an 11-day Cruise in April. On Celebrity Cruise Line, it was a different experience for me than our previous Royal Caribbean cruise, although it was still enjoyable. On our Barbados tour, I realized I should have asked more questions to understand better the places we visited. Our visit to St. John's reinforced my dislike of Christopher Columbus because of what I learned. Despite this, I highly recommend taking at least one cruise. However, I regret partic

In general, it might not have changed all that much, though I will say the characters have grown on me at least a little Rachel is a young woman whose father has financially supported her for most of her life, but he decides to cut her off after she runs out on her wedding. She starts working in a local coffee shop, where her friends meet daily. Of course, she only got the waitressing job

Paradise Lost, my reflections on this epic story.
I just finished Paradise Lost. I meant to write this on Halloween, but finishing the book took much longer than I expected. I had read it once before and completely forgot how long it was. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I will say the language was a little difficult to follow. I still like the line: " It is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven. It is a great line because it embodies what Lucifer wanted, which was to replace God. Of course, this comes a
