Meet me in the middle . . .

Album listened to this morning:
The Arcade Fire Funeral

I think the rain is clearing out of here. It's been raining almost nonstop since Sunday night. It's supposed to clear up by tomorrow and remain that way for the rest of the week.

I want to make holiday shopping quick and simple this season. I've been given hints and ideas from the family as far as what they want, but nothing too specific. Hopefully my guesstimations will be right.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
