I actually managed to sleep in til 7, whoo! The cat visited at 5, but wasn't committed, so I went back to sleep for a couple of hours. Of course, then I woke up sore and headachey, but it was worth it. Does that happen to anyone else? If you force yourself to go back to sleep, you get a little "You fucked up" headache, or is that just one of my body's fun tricks?
Today is going to be a busy day! We go to the movies at 11, then over to see Dad, then we hurry home in time to go get changed for our dinner. We all decided to do a night out, the three of us before dad gets home in 2 weeks. Then, it'll be back to someone needing to stay with him, so we need to do it while he's otherwise occupied by the rehab. Fortunately, we had no games scheduled today, so we figured we should do it while we can.
I was all excited yesterday, I got a thing from Cinemark with 10% off a gift card. So, since I was going to be purchasing anyway, I got the gift card, and immediately turned around and bought the tickets, so it's all good. They keep asking me if I want to join movie club, and it's tempting. I'd dropped it during the pandemic, because obviously there was a looong stretch where we weren't going to the movies. But I think there's enough movies that I want to see this year that it might make it worthwhile? I dunno, I will think on it.
I watched 3/4 of The Beekeeper on the pirate site yesterday. It was...a Jason Statham movie. I mean, it was enjoyable in that Jason Statham movie way. We were going to watch Aquaman 2, but the dog took Jess' seat, so they had to sit on the other couch. I know Aquaman 2 was a pile of steaming dog dung, but I oddly still want to see it. Hell, I tried to watch the Flash on the pirate site. (I didn't get very far into it. It was just too bad. Even Michael Keaton couldn't keep me watching.)
I'll probably watch the rest of the Beekeeper this weekend or on Monday. It wasn't bad emough to be a DNF (did not finish).
Now, if I could just get my brain back into reading, that would be awesome. I've got a few books that I haven't been able to finish that I'd really like to.
Since we're on the subject of books, I'll go with this:
Feed, the first book in the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant. Possibly my favorite book of all time, or at least in the running. It starts 20 years after the zombie virus started, following a team of bloggers as they report on the presidential election. It's tightly written, with interesting characters and I devoured it in one sitting, before I immediately went to grab the rest of the books in the series.
Trigger warnings for zombies, character death, brief animal harm/death offscreen and a political climate that was uncomfortably prescient, and of course the virus that started it all.
And now, I shall go forth and have more coffee and get myself together for movie! Everyone have an amazing Saturday!
