Apple TV's Lessons In Chemistry
WARNING: SPOLIERS AHEAD! If it hasn't been made clear yet, two of some my favorite things to do is to watch a great show (or movie) and to read. Rarely do those two things coincide. I am of the crowd who believe that the book is almost always better than what ever the video equivalent will ever be. Now, yes, I have watched things that I unknowingly knew was based off a book, to which I don't read the book for fear of being disappointed. (There's quite a bit to unload there, but continuing.)

The mythology of heaven and hell has often been used in literature as a way to comment on ethics in general. Dante's Divine Comedy takes us on a journey through hell, purgatory and paradise, the most famous of these being his Inferno. Milton gave us Paradise Lost. The satirist Jonathan Swift described The Place of the Damned by its inhabitants including "Damned poets, damned critics, damned blockheads, damned knaves, damned senators bribed, damned prostitute slaves". The poet William Blake wrote The Marriage of Heaven and Hell in which he contrasts the free Dionysian spirit of hell with the authoritarian and carefully regulated, dare we say repressed, heaven.

WARNING: contains spoilers for Barbie (2023) I might just start making film reviews as "honest thoughts posts" actually. I feel they're easier to write. And that is exactly what this film review is - my honest thoughts on the recent Barbie (2023) film that just landed in cinemas. And honestly, this film is brilliant. It's funny, it hits all the right notes of a female-led film without being misandrist or ultra-radical feminist, and it's got some great star power. I've been a fan of Greta Gerwig's work since her adaptation of Little Women (2019), starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern and Timothee Chalamet.

Different people have different natural sleep schedules, and it's not something that's predetermined at birth. For some people, waking up early in the morning is the norm.
