I know my posts have been sparse lately. This is why: I do plan to keep writing but it will probably take me a while to figure out how to balance it with being the best mom I can be. As much as I love complaining about Hollywood and politics, there’s something I love more [...]

Steven Soderbergh is certainly one of the most intriguing directors of all time.
