I think you are doing just the right thing. If we can't get out of a situation, we should at least make it more pleasant.

In response to "To post or not to post? Questions from a new generation."

Since I joined WdC 5 weeks ago, I don't look at FB and Twitter much. Nothing can beat WdC!

Sorry to say I "waste" some time on FB too. I enjoy catching up on others' doings but like "Lady Lyn" wdc is my true love.

In response to "To post or not to post? Questions from a new generation."

I post everyday and share things with my family and friends, probably not my most intellectual side either but I really feel that the publisher is going to have accept that there are many aspects of me or he'll discover how ornery this old lady can be.

Facebook could disappear and I would be okay but if WDC did I would definitely have a break down.

It's good to see you blogging again.

You could try going to parks or out for walks to increase your downtime without people that wouldn't bust your budget.

In response to "Loving Competition"

There are all different types of love indeed and the love between a mother and child is powerful.

Romeo and Juliet was required reading for me in school and because we were made to read it I stubbornly resisted connecting to it. I am not a fan of his writing.

We are lucky to have so many options available to fulfill our desire for love and different genre takes on it.

In response to "The 99%"

Eye-opening take on the 1%.

I just hope they can see it that way.

The gesture on his part says to me he valued you friendship. I am glad it turned out really nice for you both.

Movie Reviews: The Marvelous Hangovers

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_marvels

This was so freaking fun. In the vein of Thor Ragnarok, it was weird as heck, but I loved it. Kamala's enthusiasm is infective, Rambo is the audience (this is cool but wtf is going on?), and Marvel's just constantly trying to stay in control and keep it together; very relatable.
I get people are fatigued w/ Marvel, this release came at a bad time (writer's and actor's strikes so minimal marketing), and of course: misogyny. That doesn't mean this isn't a good, cute, fun romp. I would have liked more action but they did a phenomenal job on a few amazing scenes.
The villian is forgetable and could have had more nuance, but at least her motives were pure, eventhough her actions were predictable and evil.
WATCH IT! Calm down and just enjoy it. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em

I expected something in the realm of Dead Poets Society and that's exactly what I got! Giamatti is hilarious as always (makes me want to rewatch The Negotiator) and the kids were fantastic. I wish the 1 black supporting lead had more to do than grieve, but there you go. They did a great job flushing her character out some. The Xmas Eve party scene was fantastic and the visit with her sister was SORELY needed. Da'Vine Joy is a treasure in this. I can't wait to see more of her work.
I'm glad they didn't follow the 'random love interest be/c...reasons' trope toooo much. I will definitely rewatch this again and again.
