This was a great conclusion to the story of IT. Having reread the book right before watching the first chapter, I feel this was pretty true the story. One thing I wasn’t a fan of was I felt a lot of the horror was a bit cartoonish (was it like this in the first movie? I can’t remember), but overall, the movie did a great job of telling the story. And, how about the portrayal by the kids? So accurate.
My rating: 4/5
Earlier this year, I put in an application to be on the Board of Directors for the Humane Society of Cambria County. I had an interview for the position earlier this month and just found out today that my application was approved! What this means for me is a board meeting once a month and volunteering at some of their many fundraising events. I’m looking forward to helping out however I can. I’ve really enjoyed volunteering the past 18 months, so I feel like this is just a natural progression.
This was the latest from Stephen King. Despite the fact that I started reading this on January 1st and just finished it last night, I liked this book. I liked the setup at the beginning and the introduction of the main character. I also thought when things came together at the end, it was really good. But, the middle dragged on a bit for me. Plus, I got a puppy, so that didn’t help, either.
I’m going to have to read a short book next to keep my average up (one book a month) for 2020.

I pretty much was able to wrap this project up over the weekend. I have a spot on the wall that needs touched up and a few spots of the newly installed trim also need touched up, but we’ll call it done. It’s not perfect–there are a few things here and there that I wish looked better. But, for a basement bathroom (and my first big solo project), we’ll call it good enough.
At the urging of one of our employees, I read the Preacher series of graphic novels a couple of years ago. I’m not really into graphic novels, but I thought it was a pretty good story. Then, the series came out, so I figured I’d give it a watch. It was a good show, but they lost me a little in the final season, which didn’t follow the story very closely. Still, it was an entertaining show, but I’m ready to move on to something else.
