the city of mirrors

This was the final installment in The Passage trilogy. I don’t know what it was about this series–I couldn’t put it down when I was reading about the present day, but the stuff that happened in the future was kind of blah. It got a little interesting towards the end of the story, but it also kind of dragged on forever.

My rating: 3.5/5

thelma

This was a pretty good movie about a 93-year-old grandma who gets scammed and goes on a Mission Impossible-type adventure to reclaim her money. The movie was—you guessed it—based on a true story about the director’s grandmother. It was an enjoyable movie to watch. It is not so much “laugh out loud” funny, but still nice, nonetheless.

My rating: 3.5/5

leone’s market

I took a half day yesterday and met my mom and cousin at Leone’s Market for lunch. We had some delicious subs and good conversation.

After that, I went to Home Depot to get supplies for my winter project. Ever since my laundry room was created many years ago, it has needed a fake beam to cover up the pipes and wires that are in the ceiling. So I bought some lumber for that. While I’m at it, I’m going to paint the laundry room, powder room, and Brian’s old music room. I went with Looking Glass for the color. This project should keep me busy through the dark days of winter.

the golden girls

I started watching this show a while ago and decided it was time to wrap it up. It had some funny moments, but it had a staggering number of continuity errors. I guess I didn’t pay that close attention to it the first time I watched it because I did not remember that. That said, The Great Herring War scene is definitely a classic!

My rating: 3.5/5
