gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Decent sleep.
Nice to be with my husband when I got up. He made breakfast, and we did chores together.
It's still really cold. Around -22 C during the day, colder at night.
We decided that our goal for today was to get a coat of paint on the walls in the pottery studio, then head to town to see a movie.
There isn't exactly a lot for interesting movie fare at the theater in town at the moment, I don't think a lot of movies want to go up against the newest Avatar (that I didn't feel like seeing, because it sounds like it's exactly the same as the first two movies).
We settled on Zootopia 2 (believe it or not, we did see the first one in the theater too) and it was fun if nothing else.
The animation is amazing these days too, though it's funny in a way that we now take it for granted, and we're back to not even thinking about it much, and it's back to mattering more that there is a decent script with a good story.
It's why I'm not worried that much about seeing the newest Avatar film, is that it's going to be absolutely stunning, but the script was so bad in the last one that I don't care to sit through three hours of bad dialogue and stupid plot points.
I might see it at home for free at some point, when I can pause it and go to the bathroom or do something else if I'm bored.
I'm amazed that you can spend THAT MUCH MONEY making a film look amazing, but stop caring about what the movie is ABOUT, or if it makes sense anymore. I didn't even care about any of the characters in the second film anymore (the first film was good, not so much the second one, and I imagine the third hasn't improved).
Anyhow, Zootopia 2 was pretty mindless, but funny and entertaining. I think it accomplished it's own goals.
Then we went for a quick shopping trip mainly because I was out of hummus, but of course ended up buying other things.
I'm grateful to be able to get groceries.
I'm still feeling a little off, but mainly congestion. At least my energy is good and I'm not achy.
