Yesterday after work I took myself to see
They Will Kill You and was pretty disappointed in it. Was it a straight up waste of my time? It almost wasn't; there was stuff in it I enjoyed. But ultimately, I would have to say, barely, yes, it was a waste of my time.
On top of that, I confused yesterday's movie with tomorrow's movie, which is at 4:00. Yesterday's was actually at 4:30. I should have looked more closely at my AMC app. I left work
at 4:00, thinking I would arrive in the middle of the trailers. It was 4:10 and the theater still had nothing on the screen. I thought: is this a digital movie? What's going on?
Then I looked it up and realized I was actually 20 minutes early rather than 10 minutes late. And all that for
this? I actually would have gotten more gratification out of staying at work.
It wasn't
terrible, mind you, which isn't the relief you might think. It just meant that I also couldn't have that much fun writing the review. The movie is just so "bleh," I can't even be bothered to be mad about it.
I walked home after the movie, and wrote the review. Then I discovered the second season of
Deadloch, the Australian murder mystery set in Tasmania with a lesbian as one of its lead characters, was out. Shobhit was surprisingly open to my just starting on that, but then I was like: it's been three years since the first season came out, I'd happily rewatch it so Shobhit can start from the beginning. I almost never do that, but I did it with this one. So we went back to season 1 and watched two episodes.
Shobhit seems to be continuing his trend of getting tired rather early, though, so we both went to bed around 10:00.

In other news, it's a full month away but pretty much every day of my Birth Week now has confirmed plans with confirmed people to do them with. Just yesterday I nailed down the first day of it, Friday April 24, with Tracy. I'll meet up with Claudia in Port Townsend on my way to stay the night with Jennifer in Union (Shelton, very broadly speaking) on Saturday the 25th; and I will go see Lynn and Zephyr in Everett on Sunday the 26th. Monday the 27th will be lunch in Kirkland with Valerie, and Tuesday the 28th I'll re-do a hike to Poo Poo Point, this time with Alexia, in the off chance it'll actually be a clear day so I can see the cities from up there. Barbara arrives for her visit through the rest of the week on Wednesday the 29th; she and Shobhit and I will take a day trip on my actual 50th birthday, Thursday April 30th; and Barbara and I (and probably Shobhit) will hang out with Laney on Friday May 1. Then, Shobhit and I will drive Barbara to Olympia on Saturday May 2, where I'll have the expected family birthday celebration for my 50th. Then we'll all go one last special place with Dad outside of Olympia on Synday May 3 before we drive back home to Seattle.
I haven't even mentioned the actual theme here, but it's "1976 landmarks" to commemorate the year I was born, and I have at least one per day, with each of the aforementioned people, all set as well. After months of research I actually have a pretty good list now. And as for the party in Olympia, we finally settled on Dad and Sherri doing a pasta bar, which sounds great to me.
