TV: cruise into fall
The motel is quite a big Tom Cruise fan. I think it runs in the family because my mother, for all of her pickiness, chooses him as her celebrity crush. Now it looks like I have somewhat followed suit. If I ever do miraculously meet him, I’d ask him to give my mother a ride…

TV: vampires & witches
Halloween is upon us! The motel has been so incredibly excited for this year’s Halloween season. Maybe because it’s nice to get excited about something, and something as simple as a holiday and the changing of seasons surely counts. This time of year makes me reminisce about the amazing east coast trip I’d gone on…

TV/BOOKS: nothing gold can stay
I was first introduced to S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders in the eighth grade by a teacher whom we’ll call Mrs. Swift. She was blonde, pretty, tall, smart, and I distinctly remember a classmate of mine saying she reminded her of Taylor Swift, who was real big at the time on our middle school campus. I…

RADIO: Joni Mitchell’s ‘Blue’
Whenever I see celebrities on Youtube interviews and whatnot being asked what their favorite song is, I always stop to reflect my own answer to that question. Ultimately, I decided, that if I ever become rich and famous and is asked such a question on a video for public viewing, I would choose A Case…

TV: The Lake House (2006)
The other day, someone asked me if I was a beach person. I supposed I was on some level, but only because I’ve lived so close to it my entire life. In my daydreams though, I’m at a lake, jumping off a dock. I tell people it’s because the beach waves can be intense and…

TV: A Room with a View (1985)
I have a friend who I find rather strange. To be honest, I don’t think she understands romance. She probably couldn’t care less about it, but still tries her best to mold into the world, boasting and pretending that she loves it. Surprisingly, I believe a lot of people do this. Many people are simply…

TV: the motel’s favorite Barbie movie
A guy once told me: “Friendships between girls are more complicated because women tend to change more throughout their lives.” He then went on to tell me that he’s had the same group of guy friends since kindergarten, and to be honest, a lot of my other male friends seemed to have the same pattern.…

TV: Roman Holiday (1953)
Do you remember the first black and white movie you ever watched? Mine was probably La Strada (1954), courtesy of my sophomore English Honors teacher. She had the class watch it for an assignment and I must say, looking back now, she had fantastic taste in movies! But the first real black and white movie…

BOOKS: Sarah Dessen
The influx of YA books these days via “BookTok” and “BookTube” is astounding to me. Seems like years later, people still swoon over the prospect of boy meets girl, falling in love on printed paper. It takes me back to my own pre-teen years, when my favorite YA author had been none other than Sarah…

TV: Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022)
Feel good movie? Set in 1950s London? Tells the story of an elderly widowed cleaning lady falling madly in love with a couture Dior dress? Sign me up! I was shocked to find out that this movie had been released in 2022! I hardly enjoy movies released within the past decade, you guys all know…
