It does lack action and move at a sometimes slow pace and deals with heavy and unpleasant themes at times. Sweetie: 5/5 The transformation of the characters and values of friendship, love, redemption, and need for connection, are al

Pusheen 2017 Spring Box Opening Review

Pusheen box continues to impress with large, big ticket items, and tons of exclusives. Pusheen 2017 Spring Box marks one year of my receiving this quarterly subscription crate, which first debuted in Winter 2015 (I missed out on the first box, boo). Ever since I joined in Spring 2016, I've never once been disappointed by the contents of my box, making it by far, the best subscription box for girls. I received my box in May, which happens to be my birthday, and inside, there's tons of birthday / party related goods - awesome coincidence. I could throw myself a Pusheen party, but don't have anyone to invite except for my cats lol. It came packaged in a cute Bunny / Easter themed Pusheen faced box. It included things like Photo Booth Props (some assembly required): ...

The May box had a cat theme with lots of cute (but ultimately "cheap feeling") plushies. As a cat lover, and kawaii collector, it was too good to pass up. I took a lot of pictures as I unpacked my May 2017 Yume Twins box. Facebook assembled this slide show for me from some of the pics I took. This gives you a good idea of the size, variety, and quality of the items inside the May Yume Twins box.   My 1st Yumetwin...

The Red Turtle Anime Review

GeekySweetie
May 17, 20170

I just purchased and watched "The Red Turtle" last night. The silent animated feature length film was done, in part, by Studio Ghibli, famous animators of feature length family favorite anime films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Ponyo, and The Cat's Return, just to name a few. I have to admit, I didn't really do my research on this title (and didn't realize it was a silent film until I began watching it), but every time I saw a preview, I just wanted to see it oh so badly. When I realized I could buy it for only $10 more than the "rental" price ($15 vs $5) I immediately purchased it. For about the first 20 - 40 minutes of the film, I felt disappointed and disinterested; that quickly changed as the plot began to advance, and b...

Are you a retro video game collector? If so you know how expensive, or hard to find, some games and console systems can be. Many 16 and 32 bit games now sell for more than a hundred dollars for a single cartridge on the second hand market. This can quickly add up to thousands of dollars for even a modest sized retro game collection. If you're a serious collector, you may be interested in purchasing insurance to help protect your gaming collection. Did you know you can add your video game collection to your Condo/co-op or Renters Insurance? This way, should anything happen to your home, such as fire, flood, theft or other events, you can rest easy knowing your video games are covered by the insurance.

When it came to gambling in the UK, high street bookmakers always ruled the industry and this trend kept continuing when sports betting were moved to the internet with some big-shot companies enjoying the bulk of online business.
