how this shelf works

just a personal shelf for things I watched, ate, drank, or visited and wanted to remember. a small archive of places, meals, films, and other passing things that felt good enough, strange enough, or meaningful enough to to be worth a line or two.

somewhere between recommendation list, field notes, and diary entry.

ADEN Coffee House

cafe8/10Tempe, AZ

ADEN is a cute little spot that is very good for sitting down with coffee and getting something done. It is usually calm, but never dead; just enough background life to make it feel nice to be there. I go here four or fi...

Eat Pray Love

movie8/10

This film shows what indecisiveness really feels like. As an ocassionally-indecisive person myself, this really hit home for me. Liz, in the midst of a divorce and many important relationships, decides to travel across I...

Love At First Sight

Loved this one. A relatively shorter movie with such a beautiful story - it really captures the essence of feel-good movies. The pacing is brilliant, with the narrator (also a recurring character) telling you what happen...

Crazy, Stupid, Love

Another great rom com. Rom Coms are great. This one was fun for the most part, sad for bits, and wholesome for a great part as well. A man hits his lowest, finds a stranger friend, and they have fun. Eventually they both...

The Idea of You

movie8/10

A very feel-good, fun, silly, unrealistic movie to watch. Don't get me wrong, sometimes (all the time for me) you don't care about the story being realistic. I really loved watching this. It's about a divorced middle-age...

Meet Joe Black

movie9/10

This was new. This movie romanticised life, love, and death. The way the story is portrayed is amazing and different from what we might be used to. It's a classic with a great message (if that matters). Pacing is fine. I...

Death on the Nile

movie9/10

If you like murder mysteries - this should be your next watch. I am biased but this is for sure on of the greatest murder mysteries out there. The story, the pacing, and the casting - everything is perfect. The "murderer...

La La Land

movie9.5/10

Definitely one of my favorite films ever. The music is on point, if you care. La La Land is a breath of fresh air amidst all these movies that are too silly sometimes. As some one who loves silly films (you'll find a lot...

Yes Man

movie8.5/10

It starts off so well and the concept is interesting. The story, overall, is predicatable - regardless it's a very fun watch with a great message. Definitely a chill, feel-good movie to watch with friends and family.
