Another one in the books. I hosted this year, so I took Wednesday off work in order to prep for the day. It was our first major holiday get-together since the pandemic. This year’s lineup was my family (parents, grandmother, brother’s family) and Jake’s girlfriend. It was a nice afternoon, but I was exhausted by the time everyone left. I’m not sure why–maybe I’m out of practice?
wonder woman
I don’t usually go for superhero movies (unless they are witty ones like Iron Man), but I decided to add this to my queue for reasons I can’t recall. Anyway, it definitely exceeded my expectations. I was expecting more of a “fighting crime” vibe like the old show, but it was a World War II story about defeating the Nazis (and who isn’t on board with that?).
My rating: 3.5/5

Sue Grafton…Kinsey Millhone…Same old story (but not in a bad way).
It is interesting that before authors become famous, sometimes you can find typos in their early works. I had one of the original printings of this particular book and saw one or two typos in it (as well as in the books before it). That always makes me cringe. I can only hope that these were fixed in later printings of the books.
My rating: 3.5/5

I guess I’m done with covid. Last night, the guy and I caught a show at Peoples Natural Gas Park here in Johnstown. Blues artist Joe Louis Walker performed. It was a ripping show. We both really enjoyed it.
midnight mass
This limited Netflix series came from the same creator as The Haunting of Hill House and the Haunting of Bly Manor. I really enjoyed Hill House but wasn’t into Bly Manor as much. Still, Midnight Mass was generating a lot of buzz so I figured I might as well watch it. I really loved the way the show ended. Getting there gave me Catholic PTSD, but the ending was definitely worth it.
My rating: 3.5/5
