I can't believe tomorrow is May 1st. My birthday is just days away. I feel a little conflicted about it. Obviously getting older isn't fun for everyone, but my displeasure comes from another place entirely. I suppose I'm just don't feel like I am where I wanted to be in life when I reached this age. But hey life happens and you just gotta roll with it, right? Since it's the end of the month, here's a link roundup of everything I have been loving around the internet and in life over the past month. 

As I mentioned multiple times on the blog, I love classic horror movies. Way back when AMC's Fear Fest used to begin with the black and white classics and move up to the modern-day slasher films. Sadly, they've cut the movie marathon down to about a week rather than a month so they tend to strictly focus on the slasher films. At least the streaming services still have them available to watch. Of course, I took a bunch of film classes where we studied the likes of Psycho, The Exorcist, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which gave me a greater appreciation for the classics.

I love a good horror movie. Okay scratch that. I love a few select horror movies and none of them are recent. Trust me, just ask anyone who gets incredibly mad at me laughing the entire time because I just cannot suspend my disbelief for two or so hours. I might get into my favorites in another post because I just finished watching the 1979 version of the Amityville Horror and AMC's Fear Fest is going to start in just a few days. Plenty to write about, right?

Arcade Fire have won plenty of awards for their music and other technical/creative aspects. These include Brits, Grammys, and two members (Will Butler and Owen Pallett) even received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Original Score for Her. Everyone surely has heard of Arcade Fire or at least their most popular song Wake Up. Wake Up was featured in Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are and commercials for the NFL in 2010.

Just like with most things in life there are trends and food is another one of those things. I hadn't even considered it before until there were thousands of avocado toast Instagrams and fancy mixology cocktail bars began appearing. There are plenty of things that will rise in popularity of the course of this year and many things that should disappear this year too. Don't believe me? Just ask Bon Appetit the omnipotent source for all things food.
