Three sentence movie reviews: Ex Machina

ex_machina

All hail this movie about AI and women and perhaps being a little shortsighted in the creation process. All three main actors (and also the fourth one no one mentions) bring their best to this tense drama, with Oscar Isaac once again pointing out that he’s got this whole acting thing down.  Highly discussable, this was a great date movie, and one of the best films I’ve seen this year.

Cost: $8.00
Where watched: Hollywood Theatre with Matt.

Requiem: pocket dictionary

One birthday, maybe I was 25 or so, I took a hunk of my birthday money and bought many magazines, then stayed in bed reading them.  I also picked up two pocket dictionaries, because I am a bad speller and they were handy to have around.  One hung out on my desk and one I carried in my bag for quite some time.IMG_3219

Of course, now I can just look up anything on my phone.  But it’s fun to look at the pages, isn’t it?IMG_3220

Project Rejuvinate Cat Tree

The cats have done a good job sharpening their claws on this cat tree.  It’s time to spiff it up.IMG_3215

First I remove the old, by pulling out the staples.IMG_3216

Then it’s time for the sisal rope.  I nailed it in at the bottom and attached the first row with the glue gun.IMG_3217

Sadly, 50 feet only covers half the post.  So I pounded in another nail when I got to the end of my rope and will have to finish this project another day.IMG_3218
