Remember how last week I said I was going to get caught up with everything? Well, it didn’t happen. I got busy last week so I guess I’ll have to get caught up during this upcoming week. Along with everything else, I’m also planning on watching and reviewing a lot of Italian thrillers and horror films so keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!
Anyway, I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend and here’s what I got accomplished last week!
