| Probably because of the fact that the most crucial things were spoiled for me, I didn't cry watching "Logan." Still, it's a really good movie.
As I said on Facebook, Fox is beating Marvel at making their own movies. Anyway, I also sat down and watched "X-Men: Apocalypse" over the weekend, and I also liked that one. Not to the degree of other X-Men films, but I still thought it was quite serviceable. Regarding Star Wars, I agree. I fear it going down the path of the MCU. I mean, they want to make a Han Solo prequel. Years back when they were making the other prequels I asked the universe why they didn't just do Han's much touted Kessel Run. Now I'm not even sure THAT'S something I want to see. I actually haven't seen "Man of Steel," let alone "Batman vs. Superman," but I actually got excited watching the trailer for Justice League. Perhaps it was the combination of Jason Momoa/Aquaman and Wonder Woman? As for super hero films, particularly the MCU, ever since Disney bought them it's become the definition of over-saturation. When Marvel Studios kicked out on their own with "Iron Man," I was proud of them. The first Cap movie was also great (it, too, was made by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount.) Then "Avengers" was the first to roll out with the Disney label (alongside fucking Joss Whedon) and then it all became plasticized. "Guardians of the Galaxy" was the first one in a while to feel like it still had a soul, like it was still trying to break free and be its own thing. I feel like Vol. 2, while having some moments, just conformed to the MCU mold, and that's part of what I found entirely disappointing. Kevin Feige does not like risk. What's more, I (and many others) are pretty pissed with the comics side. For fuck's sake, Cap has been Hydra all along? And he's still "worthy" enough to pick up Thor's hammer, but Thor isn't? The publishing company, itself, has been pretty terrible even before the Disney acquisition. The Marvel crossover events were unbearable. I initially liked "Civil War." It touched on some things that hadn't been said that needed to in a post-9/11 world. Then, as I'm reading the freaking absurd number of tie-in comics (which I gratefully did not have to buy because thank god for libraries suddenly stocking graphic novels in the 2000s), with how little went into each, you just see how they treat their dedicated fans like they're goddamn tools. It's like purchasing a game and then having to pay through the ass for all the DLCs to get the complete story. This is how I feel about all the fucking movies and TV shows. I just can't any more. |

I have a cold and I'm miserable. I called out of work on Tuesday when it was first taking hold, but went in yesterday feeling worse than the day before.  |

Good lord, fuck people who sit down to watch shows at the renaissance faire and talk through them. It was most annoying because they'd usually be either right behind me or next to me and I'm sitting near the front. The freaking performers can see and hear you.

So this whole living-off-the-credit-card-'til-payday has pretty much been the norm. Once I'm paid, it goes to paying off the credit card. That zeroes out and then I'm back to using it for food and shit. 
Wedding plans have been trucking along. We have the venue, our wedding clothes are paid for. We narrowed down the guest list since we're only allowed 150. Will probably jump on getting out those save-the-date postcards soon. Figuring out the caterer, rentals, decorating, flowers, DJ, and thousands of other hidden items are on the docket. I just don't wanna.  |

| I had a best friend who had to get his deviated septum surgically repaired. He was definitely better afterward. He had had a lot of issues with his nose up to that point.
After the surgery he was told not to lay down, so he had to sleep in a chair for a week or so. At least it's not serious. (Last edited by Rogue on 06-14-17 08:37 AM) |

| The more the merrier. Hopefully. I dunno.
My dad made an appointment, on his own, with a caterer we were considering and we met with her on Sunday. So far she's the most promising, and she has better ideas of what I'm looking for. We're also in the process of hiring a DJ, but it's slow going since the guy we want is not getting to his e-mails fast enough but gets on us for not e-mailing him sooner and threatening that he's first-come-first-serve and people can still hire him for our date.

| Went and saw "Wonder Woman" the day it came out. It's really good.
Yeah, not sure what else to say that hasn't already been thrown out there for weeks. In many different ways it's impressive. |

| The drive-thru ramen place that people have been losing their shit about finally opened ... to mediocre reviews. And even then, the drive-thru portion hasn't opened yet.
Not sure how it's all going to work. Ramen disintegrates once it's all put together and hits the table. You have to eat it right away, especially while it's hot. |

| It's getting hot here, and we're supposedly in for a heatwave. Nothing shocking there, it's just a bummer. June gloom is over.
It rained a tiny bit over the weekend after several days of seeming like it was going to. |

It was just one of these:
Problem is, since we've mostly been steaming potstickers in it, the starches are starting to mess with the metal and hinges. I'm not feeling that well, so I don't know what I'll be eating today. |

| Currently, "Silicon Valley," "American Gods," and "Orange Is The New Black."
When they come back this summer, I'll be all over "Game of Thrones" and "Rick and Morty." And of course whenever these restart, whenever that may be: "Vikings," "The Man In The High Castle," "Westworld," and "Metalocalypse" (if that one EVER gets funding again.) What's your favorite hot beverage? |

| I listen to a lot of NPR, so I like shows like Snap Judgement, The Moth Radio Hour, TED Talks, Radiolab, Ask Me Another, and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and the Best of Car Talk, which I can all listen to on the KPCC app as podcasts.
What's one thing you look forward to in each season? |

| I've been trying to get through the memoir "Orange Is The New Black." It's just so friggin' boring listening to this woman go on about how much people liked her for being pretty and smart and nice and blond with blue eyes. I'm pretty sure she embellished the shit out of it. | |||

| Yep, that's essentially what I was looking for.
In answer to the question, no, I haven't. I went from using Windows 98 to XP. What's your favorite movie or show that your friends haven't heard of? |
