We went to the Flood City Music Festival over the weekend. We caught sets from the Eric Tessmer Band, Nikki Hill and Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. All were great. I did it right this year and researched the bands, so we got to watch stuff we liked instead of some random band.
We probably could have watched another set or two, but Brian and Jake had a scouting event all weekend, so time was short on our end. Maybe next year.
Jake and I watched this last night. I wasn’t sure about it (and Netflix was telling me I wasn’t going to like it), but I watched it anyway. The movie had a looonnnng setup and was short on plot. The special effects were pretty spectacular, though. But, that was not enough to save it. And now I have that stupid Godzilla song stuck in my head.
My rating: 2.5/5
This was a John Wayne movie–one of Brian’s favorites, so we watched it last night. I’m not typically a fan of old movies (I can barely rewatch stuff from the 80s let alone something from 1948), but I guess it was ok for what it was. Some of the dialog was pretty corny, though.
This was the 3rd book in Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein series. Like the previous two, this one ended on a cliff-hanger. It was fine, but I’ve come to the conclusion that Dean Koontz is a weirdo.
There was one character in the book, a troll-like creature named Jocko, who reminded me of Dobby the House Elf from the Harry Potter books. I kind of liked him.
I have the next book in the series in my possession, so I’ll probably read it soon, but not until I get caught up on the stack of magazines waiting for me on the coffee table (and probably not until I read another book or two).
My rating: 3.5/5
Alice had her surgery today and did well with it. Brian’s picking her up right now. The vet did say that she was not able to get all of it, so it will likely recur. Will this buy us enough time? I guess we’ll find out.
