It’s still only March and the gardening season is already off to a bad start. I was outside the other day and saw that most of my garlic didn’t make it through the winter. I’m actually blaming the mild temperatures on this one as they grew a lot more than they should have over the winter. I think the blizzard did them in as the tops were rotted. This is a big disappointment.
the hunger games: mockingjay – part 2
This was the last installment in The Hunger Games series. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed. Unlike the previous movies, it was short on action. Also, unlike the previous movies, this is the first one we watched at the house–we saw the others at the theater, so I don’t know if that would have improved the overall experience or not.
It wasn’t bad by any means, but neither I nor Jake enjoyed it as much as the earlier ones. It seems to me like they could have cut out a bunch of stuff and combined the last two movies into a slightly longer, but better conclusion (just like the books).
My rating: 3/5
lumpy dog
Lizzy is covered in bumps, but one of them has gotten particularly large since her last vet visit 6 months ago. Buster was due for his annual appointment this month, so we took them both to the vet yesterday. The vet tested the lump and confirmed that she has a fatty tumor, which was what she originally thought. So, since it doesn’t seem to be bothering Lizzy, we’re good to go for now. That’s a relief.
sleeping with the enemy
I thought for sure that I saw this movie, but after reading the book, I really don’t think so. Nor will I be doing that. The book was ok–I read it fast enough, but the story was not very plausible (or good).
My rating; 2.5/5
the departed
This was another movie from our top 13. My original review stands. What a great film! I had forgotten most of the plot so that made it compelling to watch again. I barely mentioned Mark Wahlberg last time around, but I found his character to be hysterical.
My rating; 4/5
