Movies watched

  • Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom -- Super silly. A beat-for-beat remake of the first movie but without the heart. Oh well. I still root for the dinosaurs and Blue is awesome!

  • Solo: A Star Wars Story — This was a lot better than I was expecting. I really only watched it for Donald Glover’s Lando. And he was glorious! The rest was pretty good.

TV Shows watched

Comments - I knocked out a decent amount of books before we packed up the house and travelled to Indiana. We’re still in a weird limbo area while visiting family in Indiana before we get into our new house in Nebraska. Hoping to get back into reading my own books soon.
