I do not have a large enough Lysol wipes stock pile to keep us all from catching these colds, sore throats, fevers and such. We did get Flu shots but stand little chance against all of these accumulated bugs that we are currently seeing. I hope that we settle out a little otherwise we are going to have to postpone Christmas, and possibly scuttle all travel plans, and external family visits if we can’t contain what is currently plaguing our household. That’s where we are with two days to go until the big day itself arrives. I for one know that the kids are excited for the Holidays and getting together with everyone, but it is looking less, and less likely with each spike in temperature, and an assurance that one, or all of the rest of us (likely me) will pick this up shortly after my youngest starts to feel better. Compromised immune system to the starting blocks please!
I recently sat down to rewatch Deep Water Horizon, and Limitless the last few days, and I miss those mid tier movies being available in theaters. Both are good in their own right. Not exceptional, but good through and through. I think I have seen the least amount of new media this year, ever in my life. Fewest movie theater visits since Covid that is. It’s kind of crazy to think that what was a huge part of my life has just withered and died off. Partially because sound design is terrible and I can’t hear people talk, and I prefer closed captioning now. Also not much has come out that I’d care to see. Nuremberg was out for three days and gone. I think I would have liked that a good deal.
I’m now out of the Marvel demographic so that sort of thing doesn’t ring my bell. Too many consecutive disappointments. I have little faith in the Marvel umbrella. Should have stopped at End Game and that would have made their legacy untouchable. Instead we got dog shit film, after poor CGI render, after filler content, in a near constant stream of emptiness. Star Wars had Andor seasons one and Two, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Our blue box program ends this week, goes on hiatus next week, then picks up with the new gigantic wheeled carts in the new year. I will have to tear apart my garbage box on the front porch to make room for the apartment sized, tiny home looking blue bin we have to use from here on out. Should be an absolute riot!
