Adam Does Japan | Day 6 | Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan
Okay so I guess I should title this post with Day 5.5 to 6, since it does technically still take place in the fifth day... ugh why do I even care to explain, this is a horrible way to start this post, I should really just quit while I am ahead, I am digging myself...
Adam Does Japan | Day 5 | Mount Fuji
I thought I would pass out quickly due to the energy expenditure of the initial climb and being awake since 430 AM that day. But it was too fucking hot in that mountain hut, I didn't even use my sleeping bag in traditional sense, it was more of a cushion against the...

Adam Does Japan | Day 4 | Mount Fuji
It was now time for the most physically challenging, maybe even spiritually as well, part of our whole trip, the Mount Fuji summit climb. And it's not as simple as just starting the climb, we had to navigate to the correct starting point as well, which involved...

Live and Let Kawhi: Why I Am Not Mad At Kawhi
Do do doo, do do doo. The ESPN alert rings to the right of my bed. It’s seven ‘o’ clock in the morning and I don’t have to be at work until 9:30. It better be some Kawhi news I think to myself as I lean over, eyes filled with sleep boogers. As I grab my phone and...

Adam Does Japan | Day 3 | Tokyo
After a crazy night, we figured we keep in chill today since tomorrow would be the hike on Mount Fuji. Being hungover for a literal mountain climb es no bueno. So instead, we wanted to do some sightseeing around Tokyo, and the best place to start would be the Imperial...

‘Upgrade’ Review
As I try to remind myself every year, the best movies I'm likely to see are ones I hadn't even heard of beforehand. The movies that sneak up on you and smack you upside the head with surprise and startling originality. Upgrade is one of the first movies to do that for...
Top 10 Movies of 2017
Another year is behind us, so that means it’s time for everyone’s ‘my favorite ________ of 2017’ lists. This year, I’m folding to peer pressure and changing the ‘top 8’ favorite movies to ‘top 10’ because honestly, there were too many awesome movies and I originally...
Fall 2017 Update!
Hey, this blog still exists! It’s been about half a year since I’ve written anything up, and it’s been a bussyyyyy time in my life. Got married, started a new position and found out I’m going to be a father next spring! Amidst all of those changes, I’ve still somehow...
Get Out
It seems like every year in recent memory, there’s been another great new horror release from a first time director, and 2017 is no different. Last year I wrote about ‘The Witch’ from Robert Eggers and previously there was 'The Babadook’ and 'It Follows’. We’re in...
Logan
I’ve never been the biggest fan of the X-men movies. I look at them like I did the Harry Potter series: I’d go see the newest entry, have a fun time, and almost immediately forget about it when I leave the theater (the one exception being Matthew Vaughn’s far...
John Wick: Chapter 2
John McClane. Jason Bourne. James Bond. Ellen Ripley. These guys (and gal) better watch their backs, because there’s a new action hero on the scene, and for my money, he could take all three of them, no problem. With 2014’s ‘John Wick’, director Chad Stahelski...
