Provo Local Music: Book on Tape Worm

“Book on Tape Worm”, sounds like a metal or punk rock band right? Not quite. It is a self described "chamber pop band". It feels like a group of friends formed a book club, wrote poetry together, and started jamming together. 

    The lyricism in their songs is very strong. You can tell this is not an average band when you read the song titles in their first album. For instance, "To Mock a Killingbird", "Act I", "Act III", and "Shadow Puppets" are just a few. 

    The music in their songs is distinct with a cello, piano, guitar, and drums pulling it all together. I would recommend them to someone looking for a new band. They are a chill band which is both thought-provoking and calming.

Anti-Social Media? or Social Media?

Does social media foster connection? Or does it encourage separation? Sometimes it's hard to tell. Through Facebook, you can keep connections with people from your hometown, mission, or classes. It can also be a way for you to connect with someone in class. Instagram can be a natural way for you to send memes or reels to a friend. Twitter (or X) can allow you to spread news.  But, these apps can also suck you into hours of scrolling.  Clearly, the separating factor in this is how we use it. Here is some unsolicited advice for what I have tried to help me keep social media social. Set a time limit for how long you can use apps. If you want to use it longer you can, but it is a reminder that can stop the doom scrolling. (15 minutes is a good starting point.) Open an app with one of three purposes: see how a specific friend is doing or check up generally on everyone or to look for something entertaining. Acknowledge what the purpose is. Before scrolling reels, decide before han...

Food Glorious Food

Food is pretty much my favorite thing. So why have I not posted about it yet? Fair question. Lets go for it!     As a child, I took food for granted. It was always there, and it always tasted good. I had to transition to living on my own a few years ago, and then I realized how important food was to me. I also realized that bad food is easier to make than good food. Toast can be burnt black. Pasta in fact can over cook. And Annie's Mac the third night in a row can get old. (Not sure if y'all had the same experience.)     Once I began missing good food, I realized I needed to find good recipes. That's when I explored food blogs. By now I have a few food favorite bloggers that I'd like to share!     For desserts and treats I love:  https://sugarspunrun.com .     For everyday food here are a couple great options:  https://www.onceuponachef.com/  & tastes better from scratch  https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/     F...

Fear and Courage in Media

“Lions, and Tigers, and Bears. Oh my!” “Spooky, scary skeletons send shivers down your spine!”     Fear. What do you think of when you hear the word? Spiders? Snakes? Dark? Loneliness?     I am personally afraid of heights (among many other things!).      Many movies and shows invoke feelings of fear or discomfort. Do you think that a movie can create a fear for someone? Have you experienced that before?     In my experience, I do think that movies can increase fears we already hold. I was terrified of the dark as a child. I thought of all the possible monsters that could be under the bed or in the closet. Movies filled the closet with possible monsters.      Conversely, I also took great courage from movies. When I was afraid, I would think of Scooby-doo. As I got older, I thought of Aragorn instead. I had great role models from media who could go on no matter the odds.     I believe we can learn fear from movies, bu...
