the invisible man

This reboot’s plot took elements from the original rather than remaking it. It starred Elisabeth Moss, whose character left an abusive relationship with a wealthy scientist, and then begins to be stalked by an invisible man. The effects were top notch–I really liked them! Overall, it was a really great story, but the subplot with the dog made no sense and took away from the movie, in my opinion.

One thing is for sure, you don’t want to mess with any of Elisabeth Moss’s characters.

My rating: 3.5/5

do-it-yourself

it’s electric

I had a couple of outlets in the living room that needed to be replaced (the piece of plastic by the ground plug was chipped). Since I was going to be doing electric work, I decided to replace some of the regular outlets throughout the house with the ones having a USB port. I also ended up replacing a few outlets in Jake’s room (they looked a little worse for the wear). I did all of the work today. This was my first project dealing with electricity, so if you hear of a house fire in Johnstown Saturday night, you’ll know where that came from. Seriously, though, there really isn’t anything difficult about replacing an outlet, so hopefully I did everything correctly (my outlet tester said that I did). The new outlets look good and the USB outlets are going to be convenient–I may replace even more in the future. We’ll see how it goes.

me, pandemic

chopped

I got a long overdue haircut this afternoon (only my 2nd one since the pandemic started–the last one was in September). I really should have gone in November, but things went haywire pretty quickly and I didn’t feel comfortable going out under those conditions (for something non-essential like a haircut). But things have leveled off again, so I figured I better get it cut before the covid variant (potentially) arrives in March. I got a few inches chopped off so my hair is under control once again. I do kind of like waiting numerous months between haircuts (previously, I went about every other month), so maybe this will be my new thing. Or not.

movies

before sunrise

This was a movie about a man and woman who met on a train in Europe and hit it off. The man convinced the woman to spend a day with him in Vienna before he had to catch a plane back to America. Pretentiousness ensued.

That’s the last time I take a movie recommendation from the youngest son from Little Fires Everywhere.

My rating: 3/5

the princess bride

I was surprised to hear that Jake never watched this film. And, you really need to see it in order to understand half of the memes that are out there, so we watched it on Hulu (which is quickly becoming my favorite streaming platform) last night. It did not disappoint–it was just as delightful as the first time I saw it. Jake liked it, too.
