Happy Native American Heritage Month!

Today might be a somber day but I'm not going to let that stop me from continuing to fight for what's right. With that said, November is Native American Heritage Month. It's a month to celebrate, honor and recognize all the art, culture, languages, traditions and achievements of First Nation and Native Americans.

More than ever we need to celebrate the beautiful diversity that makes the world so amazing.

Happy Native American Heritage Month!

Happy Election Day! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

If you haven't already, please make sure to vote today. Also, if you haven't registered to vote check to see if you live in a state that allows you to register and vote on the same day. Go to vote.org to find all the information about voting.

Today and probably the next few days are going to be stressful. Here's a quick reminder that it’s okay to take a break from all the election news. Don’t keep checking or scrolling through the news all day. So, to give yourself a break, put down or turn off your phone. Don't watch the news or election result shows. Here is a small list of things you can do: watch shows and movies that interest you. Spend time out in nature or go for a walk. Listen to music that interest you. Draw or knit. Hopefully, you will find something to do that interest you so you're not stressed.

Election Day is a stressful day, eventually we will know the results, so until then, take a deep breath (or several) and try your best to relax. And as always don't forget to vote. Below is a small Election themed Geeky Holiday List, for more, here are my other lists: (1, 2 and 3).

What's On Tonight (Thursday 10/31): Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Ghosts, Matlock, Elsbeth and Found

Happy Halloween! What are you watching tonight? So, in between watching scary movies, I will be watching some of my Thursday lineup. Since ABC is only airing repeats of Doctor Odyssey, I'll just focus on my other shows: Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Ghosts, Matlock, Elsbeth and Found.

Although, Ghosts and Elsbeth are the only two shows with Halloween episodes, I can't wait to watch other shows as well.

Happy Halloween! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Trick or Treat! How are you celebrating the holiday? Are you dressing up? Are you watching scary movies? It's not really a party but me and few friends are going watch some scary movies and some TV show episodes while eating popcorn, candy and other snacks. And speaking of watching TV shows, for this geeky Halloween list I went with Halloween or spooky, eerie, supernatural sort of episodes of procedural shows. Because everyday life can be just a frightful as a horror movie.

However you plan on celebrating the day, Happy Halloween everyone!

What's On Tonight (Wednesday 10/30): Abbott Elementary

With Chicago Fire airing a repeat episode, Abbott Elementary is the only show with a new episode on tonight. And it's a Halloween episode. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of fun and zany moments. According to the description Janine and Gregory's couple's costume doesn't go as plan. It took me a minute but I figured out what their costumes are. Here's a hint: Jurassic Park.


9:30 PM EST

What's On Tonight (Tuesday 10/29): High Potential and The Irrational

Since the MLB World Series is on, Murder in a Small Town didn't air tonight. So, that leaves only two shows to watch: High Potential and The Irrational. Well, I'll have to tape one and watch the other since both shows are own at the same time.

Last week's episode of High Potential had Morgan and the police detectives trying to figure out who killed a veterinarian. It had quite a few twists but they eventually solved the case. As for tonight's episode, an office party ends with murder. It will be interesting to see who the murderer is. As well as the new co-worker at the precinct who somehow catches Morgan's eye. Is it someone who is a potential love interest or someone she finds suspicious.

Last week's episode of The Irrational was good with Alec trying to figure out how a women's hockey player died. The episode was good in spite of Rose getting so much screen time. I also enjoyed the side story with Kylie trying to figure out who was framing her with online hacking. Now in tonight's episode, Alec and Marissa attend a wedding that includes a murder. I'm sure they will solve the case.


10:00 PM EST

High Potential season 1 episode 6: Hangover                            10:00 PM EST                                           ABC

Star Style Video: Ryan Guzman (Behind the Scenes for DA MAN magazine)

The movie Step Up 4: Revolution may have initially put Ryan Guzman on the map, but it's his current character Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz on the TV series 9-1-1 that has become such a beloved fan favorite. He is currently on the cover of the October/November issue of DA MAN (or DAMAN) magazine. The magazine recently posted this behind the scenes video for his photo shoot.

I feel like the stylist Kimberly Goodnight channeled a Hallmark character. He looks like he stepped out of one the channel's romantic comedies. A character who is Type-A/uptight  and too busy for life, love and romance. That is until he meets the vibrant laid-back love interest who breaks him out of his monotonous life that makes him see that there is more to life than work. Which resulted in him getting a new wardrobe that goes with the new him.

Anyway, I really like these outfits, they are very preppy, polished and sophisticated but also very casual and cool. Also with the glasses, it's giving me Clark Kent vibes.

Health and Fitness: Exercise when you can and don't feel guilty

My fitness goal is a daily 15-30 minute walk and to workout at least three times a week. Most weeks, I can do all of that. However, some weeks when I'm really busy, I may only get one or two days to walk for at least 10-15 minutes. And maybe squeeze in a workout for one or two days. Because some time, that's all I have time for.

I try my best to get in my daily walks because it's so relaxing. But the thing is, I exercise when I can and if can't get in my usual daily walks or weekly workouts. That's okay. I don't make myself feel guilty or feel bad for not being able to exercise. Some days, I'm too tired or busy and at the end of the day, I only have enough energy to relax on the sofa and watch TV.

My point is, I workout when I can and I don't feel guilty when I'm not able to. Feeling guilty is just unnecessary stress that I don't need.

Art of the Day: Evan Buckley and Edmundo Diaz (9-1-1)


Artwork: Buck and Eddie - Buddie Mornings by fedz (fedzz_z)

This is such amazing art. I love that the artist created this lovely moment of Buck and Eddie enjoying a quiet morning. Maybe once they go canon, maybe there will be a similar scene like this on the show.

As a way to support artists, I try to post links to their stores if they have one. You can purchase this artwork and various other fandom art from the artist's account Art prints by Fedz.
