Boston Baked Betrayal: A Look at Nikki Bella's Villainous Turn
The November 10, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw will forever be remembered as one of the most magical Raws in WWE history. It started off on a magical note already. John Cena, for the first time in his storied and iconic career, finally... finally captured the Intercontinental Championship. He did it! He completed the Grand Slam, joining the prestigious list that includes Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, and someone who we are still mourning 20 years later, Eddie Guerrero. Raw kicked off with something that I had been waiting at least a decade for.

Stop Harassing Women who Smoke
I could have smoked three cigarettes for how long it took me to find the right image to put with this article. I'm sure the AI generators don't struggle like I do trying to force an image into the pixel spot wanting a specific mood/look but not getting the number of pixels correct. Ugh. Ok, now that I've vented, what was I wanting to talk about today? Oh yeah, women who smoke. I did not light a cigarette while I wrote this venting prelude paragraph. I just wanted you to know that because as I move on to the next paragraph, I'm going to refill my coffee cup and then light a cigarette.

Wayne, An underrated, Under viewed, Gem.
These days, a good TV show is incredibly hard to find; my Netflix watch history could probably prove my point. It’s because of this rarity that I’m here to tell you about a true diamond in the rough and its title is “Wayne”.

Throwing Stones
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things. Is it a state of the world thing? Maybe. I think that it is also to do with a recent surge in my consumption of videos in the last couple of days after the debacle in the Oval Office. But that's another story.

Burst. Content Warning.
Well well well, fancy seeing you here! I know it has been a few weeks since my last post but it's been a turbulent time as those of you who read my author's notes will know. This is what this 'blog' story is about. I have my diagnosis!

The Immensely Fantabulous Career of Catherine O'Hara
This really hurts, big time. On January 30, 2026, we all received the news that still hurts us: Catherine O'Hara passed away at the age of 71. An amazing, iconic, and talented actress with a career that spanned five decades, Catherine Anne O'Hara was born on March 4, 1954 (a Pisces, like myself) in Toronto, and it was in that same city that she began her comedy career with The Second City in 1974. Two years later, O'Hara began her eight year run on the sketch comedy series, SCTV, which was the original Canadian clone of Saturday Night Live and pre-dated another Canadian sketch comedy series, Kids in the Hall, by just over a decade and a half.

Reviewing the Ninth Annual Women's Royal Rumble
Before I went to bed last night, I decided to go to Netflix and relive the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble Match, the very first Women's Rumble. Amazing. A Women's Royal Rumble Match seemed like just a pipe dream. Now, not only did it come true in 2018, but we are now in Year Nine of the Women's Rumble. On Saturday, January 31, 2026, the 39th annual Royal Rumble event took place, and for the first time since the very first one in 1988, they left the country, as the Saudi capital of Riyadh hosted the event.

A Deep Dive Into Nattie Neidhart's Evil Motivations
It's amazing that this upcoming April will mark 18 years since Natalya Neidhart debuted on WWE's main roster, doing so on SmackDown. Wrestling is literally in her blood, coming from the prestigious and hallowed Hart family, and overall, Nattie's been displaying her immense talents for over a quarter-century. Her SmackDown debut was a villainous one, and to this day, I still say that her name being stylized to "Natalya" was done to make her more evil and sinister (it's an amazing touch).

Why Da Nang Is a Growing Destination for Wellness Travel
Da Nang has emerged as a wellness destination not through aggressive branding, but through alignment. The city sits between the East Sea and forested mountains, creating an environment where balance feels instinctive rather than curated. Unlike high-density Asian capitals, Da Nang moves at a calmer pace while still offering modern infrastructure, quality healthcare access, and international connectivity. For wellness travellers, this combination is powerful. It removes friction while preserving tranquillity, allowing restoration to begin the moment one arrives rather than after days of adjustment.

Why Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya Is a Must-Visit Historical Site
Tucked away just outside the coastal bustle of Galle, Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya is one of Sri Lanka’s most quietly powerful religious and historical sites. Unlike grand temples that announce themselves with scale and ceremony, Yatagala reveals its significance slowly. Built around a massive rock outcrop and ancient cave system, the temple complex feels contemplative, grounded, and deeply connected to the land. Visitors often arrive expecting a short stop and leave with a lingering sense of calm and historical weight that few places manage to deliver so effortlessly.
