Finished reading: The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose πŸ“š

I don’t like most of the characters in the book. I’m reading in order to see if and when they get what’s coming to them. Sometimes, I yell at them to think. For some reason, they can’t hear me.

I’m reminded that I like the feeling of having a plan and seeing it change versus no plan at all and seeing the chaos take over.

They will kill you - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜†β˜†

I love a good beat 'em up movie. Seeing the protagonist face off against dozens of indistinguist minions as they make their way to their objective. I feel that this movie does a great job of establishing the story and characters and then getting out of the way to let the action happen.

I was hooked on this movie from the moment I saw the trailer. I was so excited that I created a reminder to check if the film would be available to stream in a couple months from this writing. I remember showing everyone in my family the trailer just for them to shrug and ask if I would like to watch Bridgerton instead.

That’s ok, I’ll just watch it on my own. I started watching it and I was treated to 90 minutes of punches, kicks, and slap(stick)! If you liked movies such as Boy Kills World (2024) or Boss Level (2021), I think you might like this one as well.

Overview

A woman answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious New York City high-rise, unaware that she is entering a community that has seen a number of disappearances over the years and may be under the grip of a Satanic cult.

I feel that when people say β€œthe only thing stopping you is you”, it doesn’t give you credit or blame for the fact you’ve been using your power to destroy your own dreams and aspirations.

Good job me! I’m dealing with the stuff you haven’t dealt with.

Somewhat joking. πŸ™ƒ

Went to a rose garden today.

Yellow roses.

I thought it would be nice to take the scenery in for a bit.

"Whip Appeal" by Babyface

Listen on Apple Music

My dad would play this album on a regular basis. Babyface had a whole lot of great songs that you can just put on and just chill.

Again, I had no idea what this song was about but every time it would play, I got to go play outside.

"Go" by The Chemical Brothers

Listen on Apple Music

Share a song released 2+ years ago that you recently discovered.

I played this song for my daughter and she said that it was "played out". Well, too bad! I'm adding it to my regular rotation!

It's got a lot of energy and I'm going to need that in order to start end this day.

Watched: Ticket to Paradise 🍿 I didn’t like this one very much. It had all the right pieces: notable actors, beautiful location, a light-hearted plot.

The problem is that I really didn’t like the characters.
