It's fall!

I have a new t-shirt that looks like this icon, more or less, on a black background. Since I have to work tomorrow, I'm wearing it to work. (I don't really watch football any more, except the occasional Texas game. I did watch the entire UT-Bama game, which they should have won.)

(there may possibly be some spoilers below!)

I realized I haven't posted here in ages - since May, apparently - so I did that thing I always do, I went through my planner and checked to see what movies we've seen. Rob's been to nearly as many movies without me as he has with me. (I usually check mid-week to see what's being released, and if there's nothing I want to see, then I check for a horror movie for him to see, in which case I generally just stay home and read while he's gone.) So here's the updated list. I'm pretty faithful now about putting movies into my planner, but before I got methodical about that, well, I wouldn't even know what we'd seen years ago if it wasn't for Dreamwidth and Livejournal.

Everybody should go see The Woman King, it's awesome. I think Rob would say of his horror movies, he recommends The Black Phone and (for some reason) Orphan: First Kill. Oh, and we also both really liked Nope. I wouldn't go at first and then I figured out it was more of an alien movie than a horror one - although it has its horrible moments - and I gave in. I also liked the Dr Strange movie a lot (Thor, not so much).

We've watched the hell out of Disney+, of course - Obi-Wan & now Andor, She-Hulk and so forth. I wake up and find Rob watching the weirdest things - I'm pretty sure he watched the entire run of Adam-12 over the summer. (He said it stayed pretty good right up until the very last season, when it finally started going seriously downhill.) Oh, and of course we're watching The Rings of Power - I like it but can't say I really love it, so far. It did cause me to go pull out my copy of Fellowship and start looking things up in the appendices, I admit.

(I just re-read The Golden Compass series lately and started on The Book of Dust. I'm really wanting to go subscribe to HBOMax for a while so I can watch that series. Plus apparently they have the entire Studio Ghibli output, which is a draw!)
