As previously reported, Ralphie broke a tooth a couple of months ago. His dental appointment was scheduled for today. The vet cleaned and polished his teeth and had to extract the broken tooth. He’s currently recovering, and I’m currently searching for chew toys that will not break his teeth. Goodbye, Benebones, it was nice while it lasted.

It took me a while to get around to this Stephen King adaptation, mostly because I couldn’t see James Franco as the main character. But desperate times call for desperate measures (I’m out of stuff to watch), so I gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Frequently, they do not do Stephen King stories justice, but it always makes me happy when they do.
This one was about someone going back in time to stop the Kennedy assassination. Side note: Stephen King is considered a horror author, but he has quite a few books that are not of the horror genre.
My rating: 4/5
are you there god? it’s me, margaret.
This was a great movie. It was based on Judy Blume’s classic novel of the same name. It’s been a very long time since I read the book, but it did the material justice from what I can recall. I wondered if they would modernize it, but it was set in the ’70s, which made it even better.
This was the first time I tried Fandango at Home to rent a movie. Thanks to Netflix dropping their DVD program a few years ago and the fact that there are so many streaming services now, I have quite a backlog of movies. Since I can’t subscribe to every streaming service, this will have to do.
My rating: 4/5

I read this book because *waves hands* look around. It was pretty illuminating. Not light reading, but it’s worth the effort to understand how we got to this point.

I am a few years behind on Robert McCammon’s Matthew Corbett series. I recently found out that the series is complete, so it’s time for me to wrap things up.
This book was quite good. McCammon’s books are usually pretty engrossing, and this was no exception. Matthew continues to find himself in trouble and extricate himself from said trouble. This book brought in some characters from the past, the details of which I’m kind of hazy on at this point, but that did not detract from the story.
My rating: 4/5
