April update

[mellicious]

We're planning to go see The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which is not something I thought I would ever want to see. But... the reviews are good! And... Pedro Pascal! So yeah, we're going. (I have to work on Sunday, and Rob is off on Monday AND Tuesday - because Tuesday is my birthday - and so we're going Monday night.) (Rob has so much time off built up that he's been taking off nearly every Monday in order to burn some of it.)

We saw the Fantastic Beasts movie last week - it was pretty good, certainly much better than the last one, if not nearly as good as the first one, still. Before that we saw Everything Everywhere All At Once, which was a hoot. We both really loved it, in all its wacky weirdness.

I got my hair colored this week, it is part (or rather most) of my birthday present. I'm not sure how much I'm in love with it, honestly. It's very close to my original natural dark brown and I'm not sure it suits me as much as it used to. I think I may want to go lighter next time. But I haven't even washed it yet (I'll probably do that tomorrow) and it may lighten up a bit and I may decide I feel differently. We'll see. (Also note that I was the one that requested this color, so it's not the stylist's fault if I don't like it.)

I mentioned that I have to work Sunday, and the main way to work - in Galveston - is down the freeway (I-45) which is closed southbound all weekend. There's a huge freeway-widening project going on which has been going on for several years and is not supposed to be done for at least a couple more. It's driving us crazy. (I was driving both of us one day last year, and we almost got mowed down by a semi when the lane we were in suddenly vanished. Stuff like that.) Luckily there is an alternative route, which is the old pre-freeway road to Galveston, and I guess I'm going to have to go that way. (I hate going to Galveston on the weekends and our boss knows that, but somebody quit and somebody else is on vacation so I just have to suck up and do it this time!)
