Jan. 2nd, 2018 09:29 amI don't have a good history with resolutions, so I'm not bothering this year. Instead I will dedicate myself to being courageous and kind. I figure if I can manage those two, other things will take care of themselves.
I'm also not a fan of "Top Ten things of the year" and such lists. Part of this is I prefer to look forward and part is that New Year's Day is my birthday and that's just too much work. ;p
I had a good birthday yesterday. The Wife, Her Ladyship, and I mostly just hung out. I got an orange meringue pie from the M-i-L which was thoughtful and tasty. We also saw Justice League and then went for crepes after for dinner. Mmmmmm crepes. I got Greek inspired ones and a Nutella, strawberry and banana desert one to share.
I ended up liking Justice League, despite Whedon. Yes, there were forced sexy with the women in the movie, most ofter it was eye rolling and awkward. I *loved* Barry and thought Ezra Miller did an excellent job with him. The film did drag for the first third. I feel it was due to the villain's set up, while my daughter felt it was due to character introductions and team set up. The humor was nice to have, though I feel it was low hanging fruit and could've been much better. I loved Aquaman ribbing Bats, Barry, and Cyborg, though I would've loved more of who he was. He was pretty closed off. The comic nods were fun and I loved the beginning of the Flash/Superman races.
Vlad update: I am loving Hawk so much! I am up to chapter 05 now and I can't wait to see if Vlad pulls off what it seems like he's trying. It's always fun to try and figure out what Vlad's plan is and I both love and hate that Brust always teases details with the reader but never gives them away until they happen.
