Everything (Not Really) is a blog about… well, everything (not really).

Celebrating music, movies, comics, TV, book, and whatever else I happen to find.

Hi! I write a daily blog called Everything (Not Really).

It's mostly about celebrating music, comics, movies, TV, and sharing thoughts on whatever I happen to find.

Right now I'm discussing a lot of music, early 60s Marvel Comics, The Twilight Zone, & the occasional movie.

I'm listening to every album from 2026 (not really).

Sometimes an album can feel like one of those pictures where you’re supposed to stare and see a sailboat. I don't know if I saw it on Secret Love, but I definitely saw something.

The Lightning Seeds’ Cloudcuckooland is more than just “Pure.” It’s a fun mix of synth-pop, indie-pop, modern rock, and older pop influences.

I’m listening to every album from the 1990s (not really).

Sinéad O’Connor’s I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got is so much more than “Nothing Compares 2 U.” It’s vulnerable, powerful, angry, beautiful, and deeply personal.

I wrote about it here:

I’m watching every TV show (not really).

Ted Lasso still has plenty of heart, laughs, and that chemistry that makes the show special. Season 4 just didn’t give its new characters enough time to develop alongside the original cast.

TV Verdict: All In.
