Checking In On My 2018 Trailer

At the end of last year, I wrote a blogpost called “My Trailer for 2018.” It was supposed to be a prediction of moments that would happen in my coming year. As we close the first half of 2018, I figured I’d review the moments and see what’s happened so far and what is still to come.

Me holding a puppy in my arms. – Yes, this happened in March. Here’s a photo.

Me crying. Just kidding. I wouldn’t cry! My eyes are wet. We don’t know why. – Well, now I know why. But I didn’t cry.

Going On a Date With Myself

Bow Tie Cinema

Last night I decided to go to the movies by myself. This was a hard decision. Actually, it wasn’t. I wanted to see the movie, and no one else wanted to go.

Of course I could have not seen the movie, but in the top five regrets of my life, after ordering a latte when I really wanted an iced coffee and eating a store-bought cupcake when the calories really weren’t worth it, is the time I didn’t see Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life.”

Episode VII.5: May Tinder Be With You

My relationships with Star Wars and Tinder are the exact opposite. I grew up with Star Wars. I’m on Tinder because I’m all grown up. My dad introduced me to Star Wars. My dad does not know I’m on Tinder. Star Wars characters are always in my heart. Tinder characters are, well, characters.

One fretful afternoon, I considered uniting these paradoxical worlds.

It all started a short time ago in a galaxy quite nearby when my family saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens without me. Okay, okay, I was invited, but I had a friend in town and I chose friendship over starships. I figured it was cooler to sit back and let people freak out about it. I’d see it when the crowds died down, right? Right. that’s what I told myself.

The Day the Sky Fell

March 16, 2015 by Cazey Williams in Cazey's Column

This past weekend my friend and I almost died.

On Friday night, my friend and I decided we should put on clothes and actually do something rather than laying our respective couch and bed. Options are limited when it's after 9 PM and you don't feel like drinking: This led to us getting froyo and heading to the Byrd.

Now for those of you not from Richmond, VA, the Byrd is a historic movie theatre. By historic, I mean it opened in 1928 (more on this later). Notable amenities include: It's open 365 days a year. It shows cheap movies ($1.99!). And it has a Wurlitzer organ*. As of late, the theatre has been undergoing renovations. A huge fundraising project is underway to restore the Byrd to its former glory. (They need to move faster.)
