I didn’t get anything done this week!
Well, that’s not true. I didn’t get any writing done. I spent forty hours in a warehouse on my feet because it’s a crazy busy time of the year for us. And I had to somewhat pet-sit for my parents who are out of town visiting my brother before he heads off to South Korea. Well, they were really visiting his new baby. He just happens to also be there. It just turned out to not be a good week to make any progress. And that’s okay. Those weeks happen. Next week should be better. Hopefully.
I did, however, manage to finally watch Toy Story 2! I know! That’s a twenty-year-old movie! And I thought it was awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I re-watched the original about a month ago because the 4th installment came out recently and I had never seen any of the sequels, so I decided to start from the beginning, which is a classic. Toy Story 2 was hilarious and had a great story and made me miss my childhood. The toy collector antagonist reminded me of a guy that used to run a comic book shop when I was a kid, treating children’s playthings as gold. It also reminded me of myself when I collected comics and action figures, which was a very long time ago.
Toy Story 3 was also enjoyable, though much darker themed, and a fitting end for the franchise with everyone being donated to a different child. I’m curious what the 4th movie is about and if it even needed to be made.
Or do we have another Jason Bourne on our hands? Solid film, but kind of pointless. The original trilogy wrapped up the way it should. I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
And that’s all I got. I was 3-1 on my playoff picks last week. How about them Titans! It would not surprise me in the least to see them beat the Chiefs, though I do not think they will. I’m still riding Kansas City and Green Bay into the Super Bowl. The 49ers are kind of a monster, but Rodgers has always been a big game quarterback.
And stop talking about how the Seahawks would have won that game if they had more time. They punted on their last drive and never got the ball back. They were frauds relying on backyard bullshit football to win games. It might work against a broken team like the Eagles, but not against a solid and healthy squad like the Packers.
Till next time! Peace out!
