I watched this movie last night but wasn’t feeling it. It had everything you’d expect (such as an alien bursting out of a chest–haven’t we seen that already?), but it took a while to get there. By that point, I didn’t care.
My rating: 3/5
m is for malice
Another good one from Sue Grafton. After finishing this book last night, I wondered if anyone has ever planned to make a series out of it, so I Googled it. Someone, indeed, has purchased the rights. Let’s hope it comes to fruition and they do a good job with it.
My rating: 3.5/5
back to the new normal
As previously mentioned, Jake was in for a month over Thanksgiving. He went home for a few weeks and returned the weekend before Christmas. And, went back again today. It was nice having him around, even though it was a busy time of year with all of the Christmas festivities. Amelia has clinical rotations next year so I don’t even know if he’ll be in for the holidays because she won’t get any time off. I didn’t ask as it’s too early to think about that, but I will ponder it nonetheless. He’ll be coming in again in May due to a work thing, but that’s the only definite at this point.
Anyway, I have been taking it easy for the past couple of weeks, so it’s time to get back into my routine. I’m kicking off my basement project next weekend. That should keep me busy for a bit. And, the following weekend, I’m going to start prepping the office bathroom to be painted. Some areas need scraped and patched and there are some cracks to fix, but it shouldn’t be as much work as the kitchen was, which I did last year.
everyone’s least favorite day of the year
At least we got it out of the way early. Today was Ralphie’s yearly sedated vet appointment which included a nail trim. Ralphie doesn’t like being touched by things, so it’s always a treat. To sedate him, I have to start walking him through the doorway while someone closes the door to trap him between the door and jamb and then the vet gives him a sedative shot from behind (never mind the fact that I also give him an oral sedative before the appointment). But, he’s onto their tactics now and it almost didn’t work this year. So, next year should be fun! Good thing he’s healthy.
idiocracy
I’m sure this movie was funnier when it came out and felt less like a documentary. Who would have guessed that the creator of Beavis and Butthead could tell the future?
My rating: 3.5/5
