The Deep End
September 14, 2017
It’s been awhile since my fingers have felt the smooth touch of a keyboard. I missed it. I missed the way the keyboard felt when I typed. I missed that blinking cursor and that damned writer’s block.

Lately Disney seems to be pumping out live action remakes of their classics over the last few years.
