catching up on various things

[psocoptera]

The new live-action Cinderella movie was tedious, charmless, and altogether pointless, except for Cate Blanchett's fabulous costumes. Also I feel old as I didn't find either lead the slightest bit attractive, like, if that's what's hot now, I'm just not feeling it. (And ffs close your mouth occasionally, kids.) Sadly the Frozen short (my reason for being there at all) was also kind of meh. Save your money and just watch Ever After again.

Our first family seder went pretty well - Junie was totally engaged by the checking off of checkboxes as we went through, Josh was patient with my tendency to sing loudly while mispronouncing everything, and Q failed to actually cover the living room in grape juice despite his best efforts. And then Junie read the four questions at Chaos's big second-night seder and Q found the afikoman and I was so proud of my good kids.

Unfortunately I may have been a plague vector at the big seder; developed a sore throat after getting home that night which is at this point not so bad when medicated with ibuprofen and ghastly painful the rest of the time. Also I had weird fever dreams all night about hockey slash, except not even anyone I particularly ship.

I think I'm behind on book reviews too. Hrm.
