This book is a departure from what I normally read. There was a bit of comedy going on, but it was a story about a bank robbery that went wrong and turned into a hostage situation at a real estate open house, which the would-be bank robber ended up at. The story is a lot more complex than that, but that’s the one-sentence summary. Oh, and it was written by Swedish author Fredrik Backman.
My rating: 3.5/5
I saw this movie last night with a fellow co-worker/Foo Fighters fan. It was a horror-comedy flick conceptualized by Dave Grohl. Apparently he can’t sit still for a minute. The movie was about what you’d expect. Not so great, but a must see for Foo Fighters fans.
My rating: 3/5
I’m usually into war movies, but this one was a bit of a snoozer. It might be the first WWI movie I’ve watched, so maybe that’s it. Or maybe it’s the fact that I can watch the war in Ukraine unfold in real-time and I’m all warred out.
My rating: 3/5
Jake and I made our semi-annual trip to TJ Maxx last night and went to The Fifth for dinner after. I was looking for a few specific things at the store, but came up empty-handed as far as my list goes. I did buy a light hoodie for myself, though. That place is really hit or miss for me, but you can’t beat their prices. Jake fared better. He got a hoodie, sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a belt. Dinner at The Fifth was good. I definitely recommend the Garlic Cheese Curds from the starters menu.
I saw this movie yesterday afternoon with the guy who I met last weekend. It was a pretty good movie, though they had most of the funny bits in the trailer. Nevertheless, I liked it. How can you not like a movie that revolves around a dog? Especially when it isn’t a sad one.
After the movie we went to Anthony’s for dinner. I’ve been wanting to try their wood-fired oven pizza for some time. While the pizza was fine, I was a little disappointed. I think I can do better at home even when I’m not using my wood-fired pizza grill. But, I guess that’s why I don’t eat out that often.
My rating: 3.5/5 (for the movie) 3/5 (for the pizza)
