The title will make sense in a minute, I promise. I didn't post yesterday, so I'm posting today. So it's not Monday. The following post was already published for my "Because it's Wednesday" feature in June 2017 (aka Eye Candy Wednesdays; aka my assortment of boos and baes in the public eye), but I'm reposting …
Black Panther. So. Lit.
You already know how I feel about Mr. Boseman. Anywho, as you also may know (please, please know this; like, I enjoy under-the-rock living, too, but you need to know this), Black Panther, the next movie in the Marvel Universe, is set to open this coming Friday. Saying I can't wait is certainly an understatement. We …
Unrelenting Excitement. (And Other Things.)
I think that best describes how I felt when I heard that my favorite royal Ginger, Prince Harry, had become engaged to his sweetheart, actress Meghan Markle. I won't even link to any articles about this news; if it's the first time you're hearing about this engagement, we just...we have nothing to say to each …

Did you miss Wednesdays with This Square Peg? Here's a mea culpa for my absence: Liev Schreiber has eyes that will find their ways into your soul.

Let's get to it. This is Chadwick Boseman. You may have seen him in 42, or Get on Up, or the latest rendering of Captain America, or the recently released trailer for Black Panther, which gave you, me, and everyone currently living enough life to last for more life. I mean... I chose the photo …
smile. (😒)
"Smile!" I've heard it most of my life. And if you have a resting fierce face like me, you've heard it, too. Strangers, random folks--they all seem to take pleasure in viewing our stony features and commanding us to break into grins. Like me, do you want to push said people over to the ground …

It's been a while since we discussed Wednesday lovelies. Here's one for your consideration. You know how I feel about him. I discussed his blueprint status here. Before my dear Idris, it was him. It's still him. You know how you'll never forget your fourth-grade crush even though you're now in college and your current "true …
Happy Chiwetel Friday.
This is Chiwetel Ejiofor. There's not much else to say here. I love him and it's Friday. Bon weekend, mes amis...
because it’s Wednesday.
Because repetition is often the best teacher. Because he is always and forever bae. Because broken record status is the best place to be. Because look at that face. (My goodness.) Because come on. Because black is the color of my true love's hair. Happy Wednesday.
