Yesterday

I spent yesterday (Saturday, December 10th):

• Watching "Smokin' Aces"
• Eating pizza
• Watching "King Kong" (original 1933 version)
• Drinking a 22 oz. Lefty's Brewing Company Oktoberfest
• Watching "Superbad" and "Saturday Night Live".

Three Pictures

My day off in three pictures:

Yesterday

I went to see the 2:30 show of "Batman vs. Superman" (pretty good throughout, except for Jesse Eisenberg's horrible Lex Luthor and Amy Adams' whiny & reckless Lois Lane).

Before bed I finished reading "Avengers vs. X-Men" (horrible - Cyclops was SO right!) and the first "Cyborg" trade (good stuff).

Leap Day Adventures

I didn't feel like going to work when I woke up at 7:30, so I called around to find a replacement or swap. No takers, so I went in, but Lori called and said she'd work 10 - 4 for me, if I took her Thursday night. Freedom!

When I got home I watched "More Manners of Downton Abbey" and sorted/consolidated all of my LEGOs into two containers.

My new Vans arrived! They are Rata Vulc SF's, designed by Yusuke Hanai. They look and fit great.

Then I watched "Aloha" (Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski, Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin), which was a great romantic comedy/drama.

I got a nice photo of my cat, too!

Day Off

I worked the last seven days in a row, so it was nice to have a day off, finally. Today has been a combination of lazy and fun and productive:

• I slept in until 10 am.
• Breakfast was coffee (Starbucks Sumatra) and cereal.
• I watched last night's "New Girl", "Brooklyn 99", and "The Flash".
• I went to see "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" again!

• I broke in my new black Vans.
• I did a sinkful of dishes.
• I worked out from 4:30 - 5:30.
• I had the rest of last night's Chinese food for supper (chicken fingers, scallion pancakes, and shrimp fried rice).
• I watched last night's episode of "The Expanse".
• I ran out to Hannaford to buy a few things (apples, bananas, tomatoes, peanut butter, ½ & ½, bread and a couple of apple fruit pies) at 9:00 pm.
• I watched "Expedition Unknown" (Kalahari Desert), a few episodes of "Friends" (Season 7), and "Angie Tribeca".

Star Wars

I saw the new Star Wars film today. It was pretty damned awesome.

They made a great decision to allow the new characters time to shine before bringing in Han & Chewbacca, et. al. I really like Rey and Finn, and even Kylo Ren is cool. There were a lot of surprises, even though I correctly foresaw the one big death. I am going to see it again soon, and I already cannot wait for the sequel.
