In My Ears: June 2017
In an effort to get more regular content up and moving on LivingNimbly, you may notice that there are going to be a whole bunch of new recurring segments that will be coming out in the next couple of weeks. The first of which is “In My Ears.” This is a place where I will be writing all about a sampling of the tunes that have been … “In My Ears” for the past month. Sounds fun right? That’s what how it works in my head. Here we go! Grateful – DJ Khaled Like most of his snapchat following, I have been looking forward to this album for almost six months.…

Chocolate Mint Milkshake Showdown 2017
Let me begin this post with a bit of information on one of my most memorable childhood memories: Getting Shamrock Shakes from McDonald’s with my mom. We didn’t go out to to McDonald’s too often, but in late-February/early-March… It was time for a green mint milkshake with whipped cream and a cherry. Even after I moved out of the house, I continued going to McDonald’s every year to get a taste of the green nectar of springtime. (Side note: I never really should be drinking these due to a lactose sensitivity, but I take my chances when it comes to Shamrock Shakes…) So, I was all excited for shamrock shakes…

Jack’s 2017 Oscar Ballot
I have been running (read as: sprinting) from movie to movie for the past month and some change to mentally prepare myself for this post. I love movies. I also love a good gamble. SO, filling out an Oscar Ballot makes a lot of sense to me each year. A few friends and I all fill out ballots each year and compare scores. (I have a strong track record if memory serves *wink*) Usually, I don’t make it to as many movies as I’d like to in time for the Oscars, but this year was different. I found a great $5 weekday movie theater and made a list of what I’d…

The Magic of Moana
Let’s throw back to the morning of January 24th, Golden globes were still on my mind, but I did want to see who was nominated for the Oscars. I just saw La La Land (more details coming next week), and I wanted to see what I could secure on my Oscar ballot because I’m always ahead of the game *wink* *pause…not* So I pulled up the Safari app on my phone and went to searching. Turns out it was the day that the nominees were released. I was reading through the nominees on this wonderful NPR article and got to this section by the author Glen Weldon regarding the animated feature film nominees: “First Impressions:…

Loving Lady Gaga, Drones, and Buffalo Chicken Dip
Before I get into the swing of things, I hope that you all had a wonderful Super Bowl Sunday filled with friends, football, America, and buffalo chicken dip. Buffalo chicken dip is one of the best parts of sporting events as a whole. I actually didn’t end up having any buffalo chicken dip this year, but it did appear in my dream that night. In the style of Joey from friends: cream cheese, good! Chicken, good! cheddar, good! Buffalo, good! Moving away from food (which is always tough for me to actually accomplish), I want to take most of this post to talk about how wonderful Lady Gaga was at…
