The skies are a bit overcast this morning. They're predicted to be that way most of the day, with a high in the upper 60s (F). Tomorrow a chance of rain is going to move into the area, but after that our temps are predicted to climb back into the 70s (F). This is fine.
The electricians were here yesterday and did their thing. I now have a stove vent / fan combo, and two outlets have been removed, three added, dedicated wiring for the dishwasher is in, and a ceiling light installed in the cycling / running / computer room. The light was a bit of a stickler. Ripping up the plywood floor in the attic, they discovered that the wiring was... antiquated (nice way of putting it), so they shut that off and rewired. Electrical and Plumbing are the 2 biggest issues when renovating a 118 year old home.
Lily handled them well, barking when necessary, observing them from a distance while they did their work. Running up and down the stairs tuckered her out and she was up in bed by 6:30 PM.
I went to see A Haunting in Venice last evening, Kenneth Branagh's foray into Agatha Christie. This one was far better than A Death on the Nile with more interesting characters, a better developed storyline, and a lot less absurdity in the denouement. This one has a bit of a spooky twist, with Poirot being invited to a seance, and, of course, murder and mayhem follow him. Michelle Yeoh is good as the all too wise medium, as is Tina Fey, playing drama. For those Kyle Allen fans out there, I hate to tell you this, but he keeps his shirt on. This movie was very entertaining.
The candidates still won't take on the inmate because of fear. So they won't get too far.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil.
DeleteOhhh I wanna see that! I like these murder mysteries crowded with starts. I love Michelle.
ReplyDeleteAnd the 'debate' was a shitshow. You were better off at the movies. That description of Meatball Ron is both frighteningly accurate and absolutely hilarious. He smiles like a pod person learning to be human. It's haunting.
And Nimrata dunked on Vivek on live tv. It was hilarious. Oh and the Black dude said that slavery was not that bad.
Yep. Shitshow.
XOXO
The movie was good. And it was amusing to see how desperate main stream media worked to try and find something positive to say about the debate.
DeleteNow Haunting in Venice is more of a movie I will go see. I usually like who done its and horror movies the best.
ReplyDeleteDescribe to see you're still saying I can't stand living through kitchen renovations, especially when you like to cook.
The biggest problem is going to be losing the kitchen sink for 2 days.
DeleteThanks for the movie recommendation. I thought John over at Going Gently said he didn't like it so much (although I might be wrong there), so I guess the only way to find out is to go see it, right?
ReplyDeleteOr wait until it streams. I can remember when you had to wait months on end before you could rent a movie, now it seems as though it's simultaneously released all over the place.
