L and I went to see Wild Robot. We got a trailer for it with Inside Out 2, and L's been interested since then; I was a little on the fence until the very good reviews started coming in, and then I was on board, too. But she's been working more weekends than usual, and we had a lot of social stuff on the days when we were both free, so it got to the ( Read more... )

On Sunday O and I (and cousin D, who joined us at the last minute) went to see Deadpool & Wolverine. Two movies in theaters in two months after 2.5 years of not going to a movie theater at all -- amazing XD The benefit of seeing a movie a month after it came out is that there were like 10 people in our theater, and at first nobody but us in our ( Read more... )

Since I last posted, our household has acquired a new stove (with a working oven) and a purple mystery snail named Manischewitz. Both are at L's insistence, but I've been responsible for a bulk of the associated work :P (I have to admit, it's a cute snail, and it's nice to have a working oven again.)

Taskmaster s17e09 -- I was traveling when this came out, so wasn't able to watch it until late Thursday night (and stayed up an hour later than I otherwise would have to watch it, even though I was pretty tired), and meanwhile read the Reddit thread, which is actually not all that spoilery as an experience, because Taskmaster is so random, you can' ( Read more... )

Taskmaster s17e04 -- this was another fun one, and with more interaction between contestants in the studio, which I have also noticed (as Reddit pointed out) was kind of low this series until now -- ( More with spoilers )

Taskmaster s17e3 -- ( SPOILERS )

Taskmaster s17e2 -- No particular seismic shifts in this episode, but of course I'm still enjoying the experience. ( More, with spoilers )
