1. Saw the Aladdin movie which was better than expected. While Will Smith is no Robin Williams (who is, really?), he was good in the role. Particularly well cast were Jasmine, Aladdin and Javar. The handmaiden, however, was a bit jarring.
2. Also watched the first two episodes of S3 Wynonna Earp --- which is actually better than the first two seasons openers. I really like the actress playing Wynonna. I actually like her better than I did Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy.
3. Speaking of Buffy, got into a bit of a discussion on the origins of Buffy's last name with a FB Whedonesque Studies Fandom.( Read more... )
4. It's a beautiful day today. Clear blue sky. Breeze. In the 80s, which was a bit of surprise -- and made me wish I'd stuck with the lighter white linen pants as opposed to jeans. Went to church, tried to take a long walk along the promenade afterwards -- with the view of taking pictures, but alas, my cell phone was low on batteries. (Considering I was convinced that I charged it the day before this was somewhat surprising.) Instead, I wandered through a street fair, watched people, bought fudge and a chocolate milkshake, also Avocado and Cucumber Soup, and some groceries. Since I was dropping off to sleep or dozing in church, also got some unsweetened green tea. (I don't buy sugared drinks as a rule. And am off alcohol for the time being.)
Church annoyed me. ( Read more... )
5. My cousin on FB posted about a dream she had, and has decided that no matter what choices her parents made, she'd have met the same people and ended up where she currently is -- one way or another. That life has definite plan. And everything works out.
I'm more agnostic on this score. ( Read more... )
6. 88 year old Grandmother was an International Jewel Thief

7. United We Stand: With an assist from the internet, politicians have become pop icons and citizens their fans. What does that mean for our politics?
( I don't agree with the journalist, what's new? )
Now, The Mary Sue Breaks Down the Times Article -- apparently they didn't agree with the journalist either, for different reasons".
