Yeah. Things have been going. Last week was stressful as one one my bosses ended up in the hospital and I had to cover all her work (on top of mine) for three days. Ugh. Thankfully, things are looking up and she was back at work today.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile …<\/p>\n

I got started on and finished the Stranger Things<\/strong><\/a><\/em>: The Upside Down LEGO set<\/strong><\/a> that I got for our anniversary in December. It was fun to make … but, I really do hope Will Byers survives. Plus … how cute is that Demogorgon<\/strong><\/a> minifig? Very!
\n\"Lego<\/a>
\n\"Run,<\/a><\/p>\n

I took my sister to Biltmore<\/strong><\/a>. I love this picture I took (near the grand staircase) with lots of overlapping archways.

We went bowling with our friend, Chris, at Sky Lanes<\/strong><\/a>. My highest score was 86 which confirms that I suck as bowling. Here’s David getting ready to gutter-ball it. \ud83d\ude1b
\n\"Sky<\/a><\/p>\n

On the vinyl collecting front, I have FINALLY managed to acquire a first pressing of X<\/strong><\/a>‘s debut album, Los Angles<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Score!
\n\"X:<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, meanwhile …<\/p>\n

I watched two more of the Best Picture nominees.
\n– 1917<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (Technically impressive but DOA as far as tension and emotional engagement.)
\n– Joker<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (It’s Taxi Driver<\/em>-Lite. Just watch Taxi Driver<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. It’s sooooooooo much better!)<\/p>\n

So, yeah. Totally bumfuzzled as to how Joker<\/em> scored the most Oscar nominations this year. Parasite<\/em> is still the movie to beat. Seriously. Go see Parasite<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
