I don't have much to write today as it was a wonderful, lazy day filled with the smell of cookies baking in the oven. In fact, aside from losing at today's tricky Wordle, I haven't even played my daily morning brain-wakening games for the past two days. On hearing about how bad the roads were/are due to the current ice rain, I am even happier that we did not have any reason to go anywhere today.
Thus, the only real item to mention (aside from how fantastic Janelle's four different types cookies turned out) was that we decided to watch the sequel to Knives Out today. Although Rian Johnson's choices in The Last Jedi are still a deep frustration to me, I loved the movie Knives Out and was thus quite excited to see this sequel when it was announced. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery released for a limited run in the theaters around Thanksgiving and came out on Netflix on my birthday. I wanted to see it before any part of it was spoiled for me (and managed to avoid spoilers on the Internet).
It was certainly worth watching. If anything, Johnson (who wrote and directed this movie as he did for Knives Out and [grrr] The Last Jedi) made an even better movie with sharper humor, better developed characters, well-placed cameos, and excellent twists on the murder mystery genre. Somehow, he managed to do so while also providing an interesting glimpse into our world and its political climate.
In short, it was an enjoyable cap to a wonderful day.
