Maybe nobody cares but me, but I was pretty happy to see the MLB players and management come to an agreement this week. I was starting to prepare myself for a long drought. Baseball's really the only sport I follow any more. So spring training games starting like, Friday, woo!

Last weekend Rob went to Ohio (without me, because I won't fly any more) so there was no movie night last week, and we're a week behind seeing The Batman. (Actually in my head I call it "THE Batman", with a huge overemphasis on the "the", because that whole thing where they distinguish it from the others by "the" is kind of weird.) SO we went to see it yesterday and I actually really liked it. I had tried to avoid spoilers and so all I really knew was who played Batman and Alfred and Catwoman, and that it was 3 hours long and "dark" - I completely wasn't sure what to expect and maybe that helped, I don't know. I'm old enough that I'm pretty sure I remember going to see the old Adam West Batman movie in a theater - I would have been 7, maybe? - and so I have a long history with Batman movies. I've seen pretty much all of them, even Batman and Robin. And I think this one totally worked.

The only other movie that we've seen since the last time I posted was Cyrano, which I also liked a lot, except that I cried through about the last third of it and came home with a headache. And then I got that song stuck in my head for days, but hey, at least it pushed the Encanto soundtrack out of my brain for a couple of days!

(I saw somebody say online somewhere that The Batman made them cry, but I didn't have that reaction to it, thank goodness. My allergies are acting up and I've had plenty of headaches lately as it is!)
