Wonderman
Okay so Wonderman was not a series I was excited for when it was announced. And there are many reasons for this, the biggest being that without his Wanda storyline Wonderman is a boring and irrelevant character. So when the premise of the show was announced I knew it was going to be better than I initially expected. Most of the feedback I've seen from the internet is positive. The only thing that raised a red flag for me is that people were glad all at once because they didn’t think it would work week to week. So if you are releasing a show and it “wouldnt work” in its intended format then you wrote a bad show. So that is one of the things I will be assessing.

My Top 25 Favorite Songs of All Time
#1 - I'll Fall With Your Knife by Peter Murphy I got a tattoo of some of the lyrics to this song: The words, "with a broken wing you sail," embedded in the wing of a red-tailed hawk. A song about unconditional love and devotion, this one still gives me chills every time the first few notes start playing. And Peter Murphy's hauntingly baritone voice is so soothing.

My Top 10 Favorite Coldplay Songs
#1 - Fix You, Released 2005, X&Y Album Fix You is a song that is very near and dear to my heart. I learned to play it on the guitar when I was 12 years old and it was always one of my dad's favorites. It's a beautiful yet surreal song about offering support and guidance to those in the throws of grief. While the beginning alludes to feelings of regret and emotional exhaustion, trying your best but not succeeding, by the end, we are reminded to never give up. Healing and love can always be found, even in the darkest times, just know "lights will guide you home."
