Tonight we are streaming the first part of the final season of Stranger Things. It’s one last adventure for our friends as they go to the upside down to chase Vecna. Hawkins, Indiana is not the same that we left it in season four, and it’s going to be a spooky time for all.
Today is Black Friday, which is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. It has been traditionally a fight to the death for the best deals and bargains. There is fun to see what people have been able to get at the stores. With Amazon, Walmart, Target, and the like, Black Friday seems to have lost a little of its popularity.
But there is nothing like getting out and fighting crowds for some instant gratification. For some, it’s the thrill of the chase to get what they want. I hope the odds were ever in your favor if you went out this morning.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating in the United States. May your time today be one of love, togetherness, and hopefully some good food. This time of year can be a challenge for many for personal reasons. May we also be mindful of those indigenous peoples that played a part in the first celebration. No matter where you are, may you have something to be thankful for.
I am a big fan of dogs. They are the best friends of many. Birbs/Birds have great personalities. Hamsters are cute and fun. Giraffes are impossibly tall and majestic. Mules are humble and noble. Horses are fast and great. Bison are powerful. Animals are wonderful creations and make this world more complete.
Wicked for Good is a solid sequel that continues the story from last year’s Wicked: Part One. To me there were surprises, intense personal drama, and character development.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are two performers who were just superb. There were lots of points in the movie where their vocals made you feel everything.
Much of what I experienced was pain and sadness in all points of the movie. Glinda was struggling in how she was the poster child of Oz. And eventually the wicked side of Elphaba had to come out because it was her only choice. The story is filled with messages about how Oz was shady and not a good person.
Additionally, Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh together make an evil team. I thought (People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, Jonathan Bailey, was terrific too. Furthermore, I think you will be very pleased in how they wrapped things up. Watch the first movie, then see the second, it’s worth it.
So, I did a thing. After talking about getting an earring for years, I finally went and did it. Thanks to the folks at Inked Expressions on the north shore of Chattanooga, I’m now a rebel or something like that.
The earring is small, but it’s there.
