It’s a New Year and of course time for resolutions and goal setting and excitement for the year ahead. I spent a lot of time in December considering failed 2023 goals and determining if they were worth having another go at, and if so, what went wrong and how can we do better this year. Last year I resolved to wear everything in my closet. I wanted to take lots of fashion plate pictures as I went through the year putting every single thing in my closet on my body. I had a secondary plan to get rid of anything...

It’s Halloween today. I like dressing up, so you’d think I’d make a bigger deal out of Halloween than I do. (Mostly I just like shopping after halloween for deals! ) But if you invite me to a party, I’ll come up with a costume. Anyway, here’s some costumes I’ve thrown together over the years.

I didn’t know that Spain has palm trees!
There are a lot of cool statues, which I’m sure have interesting stories behind them, but no plaques (that I found) to tell us what those stories are.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
3/10

Date Watched: 27 May 2023

I did enjoy the choreography with the cars at the Arc de Triomph and the Mr. Nobody character, but other than that this was a real slog. A real slog.
