I've always loved dogs
I basically just watched Netflix all weekend. There was very little on Friday night, I think it was, and so I just started putting on random stuff I've seen before but wouldn't mind partially ignoring while I did whatever on the computer. I rewatched the Shadowhunters movie (which has a much longer, overly-complicated name different from the show) and found it isn't as bad if you have headphones in and are only filling in the info from what you remember and from the plot of the show. As soon as you start listening to the dialogue and its delivery you want to facepalm quite hard.
I finally watched Jupiter Ascending, too. I knew going into it that it was bad considering that I knew that before it was released and have put off watching it for this long and so knew what it was about from start to finish. But there's quite a difference between knowing and actually experiencing, of course.
WOW. Like, I knew it was going to be bad but I thought I'd LIKE the kind of bad it is. Nope. Hard no on that one. The story is ambitious and layered (at least, what I think everyone involved was going for was ambitious and layered) but it gets bogged down by mindless action scenes and there is NO character development. The movie ends and you feel exactly as you did in the beginning except mildly befuddled and eager to move on.
Went to the new Indian place again yesterday with some friends and had a great time. We now have two east Indian restaurants in town and this new place blows the old one out the water. Their menu is so much bigger, the service is amazing, I don't have to cut my leftovers with ranch dressing the day after due to spice (I'm Canadian, it's all I have!), it's close to my house (well, they both are)- I'm rooting so hard for this place to make it.
This time I tried the chicken palak which doesn't look all too appetizing in the picture (it's spinach-based so everything's a lumpy green, LOL) but there's so much flavour and no heat because I get everything mild. It's exactly what I want when I ask for "mild".
A very quiet weekend overall, but satisfying and relaxing.
