PAGE EIGHT DANCE!!

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Finishing up The Glass Onion. While I didn't love Knives Out (I enjoyed it, certainly), this isn't as good - it just takes way too long for the first reveal. Anyway, I think there's about twenty minutes left.

Just prepared the garlic for chopping and mincing, which I'll do as soon as the movie is over. Then I'll start cleaning the home environment - I already got the book room looking spiffy. Living room is always clean, den has tons of movies to put away, at least temporarily, and the bedroom is fine.

Back to The Glass Onion. I'll be slicing and dicing the actual onion shortly.

We re-watched Knives Out tonight, to refresh our memory, so will follow it with Glass Onion tomorrow.

I haven't seen Knives Out, yet.  I do have it from the library, so hopefully I'll take the time to actually watch it.

I spent several hours yesterday afternoon and evening going through HHW.com archives researching some of my Christmas trip posts from previous years.

Quite a revelation, I must say.  Whatever happened to me, anyway?  I used to do stuff and report it here.

I watched "Glass Onion" on Netflix today...TWICE.

I enjoyed it, although it is not, IMO, in the same league as "Knives Out", which felt fresher, more detailed and better plotted.

I "suspected" the killer right off the bat but allowed myself to veer away from it as the story progressed.

Ed Norton was very good, I thought, as was the actress who plays "Andie Brand".

Is it just me, or???  Kate Hudson seems to be giving performances as if she were imitating her mom.  I have felt this about some of her other performances, too.

All wrapped up for Christmas, I see.   No bow?

The Blu and Ray player has decided to play a Blu Ray disc. So, I will now watch Vincent Price in The Tomb of Ligeia. Robert Towne script. Roger Corman produced and directed.
