Welcome to the weekend, my pals! After per week of beautiful sunshine-filled climate within the 40s, 50s, and 60s, we awakened this morning in a recent winter wonderland. Ohio by no means fails to shock me. As I write this, I’m watching the snow because it continues to fall exterior. I’ll be headed to the gymnasium in a few hours, however proper now, I’m grateful for a gradual begin to the day and the time to get pleasure from my scorching espresso.

What I’m WATCHING: Everything Everywhere All At Once. My oldest son and I deliberate to see this film within the theater and it simply by no means labored out. We lastly watched it this week and I’ve to confess it’s a mind-bending, at occasions fairly complicated, film. Jamie Lee Curtis was unbelievable, like nothing I’ve seen her do earlier than, and the remainder of the performing was strong as effectively. Had been they parts I’d fairly haven’t seen? Completely. Would I watch it once more? Possibly sometime. Do I like to recommend it? Sure.
This isn’t the film for a relaxed, enjoyable evening at dwelling, however it’s a film that’s utterly engrossing, chaotic, and memorable. You’ll both get pleasure from it or hate it. I don’t assume that there’s a impartial floor right here.
What I’m READING: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik. That is the primary e book within the Scholomance trilogy. It took me a bit to actually get into this one. The protagonist isn’t very likeable, and but, you’ll end up rooting for her survival earlier than you’re very deep into the e book. It’s a darkish, grownup twist on a magical boarding college and an unwilling darkish sorceress who finds herself making an attempt to outlive there.
