MandarisWatching the pilot of Xena: Warrior Princess with my daughter. I remember it sooo much differently.
It’s been a while since I’ve used the board.
Needed a moment to write in my journal. Reset and hit it again.
🍿 Wonka (2023) - ★★★☆☆
It’s fun. Very light hearted and kind of what I needed to see as we move through the holiday season.
I did like a couple of the songs, but I don’t feel that I’m going to remember watching this a year from now.

Willy Wonka – chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time – is proof that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
Made it through my first day of the year without a problem.
Except that I broke a keyboard.
Good luck in the new year!
I played D&D today for the first time in years. It was fun.
If you ever wondered where old gym equipment goes…
🍿 Blow (2001) - ★★★☆☆
My wife really wanted to see this movie together. I think it’s a pretty solid tale. Well acted and showing that there are more ways of losing in life by dealing drugs. Usually, the people shown in these movies are killed off gruesomely or left strung out and destitute.
Also, it’s good to show that anybody could be a drug dealer. I think it’s a real precursor to the issue that we’re seeing with prescription meds.
But back to the film, I liked it but I don’t feel strong enough about it to give it more that 3 stars.
Don’t tell my wife.

A boy named George Jung grows up in a struggling family in the 1950’s. His mother nags at her husband as he is trying to make a living for the family. It is finally revealed that George’s father cannot make a living and the family goes bankrupt. George does not want the same thing to happen to him, and his friend Tuna, in the 1960’s, suggests that he deal marijuana. He is a big hit in California in the 1960’s, yet he goes to jail, where he finds out about the wonders of cocaine. As a result, when released, he gets rich by bringing cocaine to America. However, he soon pays the price.
Here is the trailer for the movie on YouTube.
It just took me a moment to think about how we are at this point.
