Middle school boys choir concerts amuse me because based on appearances these 7th and 8th graders range from approx age 6 through age 45.
Shazam hits 100 billion, mostly from my kid
Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas – ★★★
The Wild Robot – ★★★★½
But what it if I don’t want my runt baby goose to grow up and fly away?
I for one am here for this trend of animated movies that just look flat out remarkable. Beautiful, painterly style that also included segments where they’re telling bedtime stories and it somehow LOOKS EVEN BETTER. Just lovely.
Rating: 4.5 stars

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – ★★★½
Other Ever Afters: New Queer Fairy Tales – ★★★★½
A few of these seven LGBTQ fables were truly fantastic and overall the complete collection came together really well for me.
These aren’t just retellings of the same old fables but now with two princesses. Each story was generally thoughtful and subtle that did a great job of imparting a strong moral lesson in the end. Goose Girl and New Name were my faves.
Now I have to go bug my kiddo to see why she only gave it 3 stars.
Rating: 4.5 stars

My body isn’t made to move laterally
Spent an hour coaching my daughter’s U9 soccer team today (despite not playing or watching any soccer since I was about her age), and somehow my knees and every other joint in my body hurt now.
Pale Waves at House of Blues coming to House of Blues
Pale Waves at House of Blues tickets acquired. Two tickets for me and my daughter. we’ll see what her opinion/reviews of a $70 general admission show are compared to the $$$$ Taylor Swift arena show her mom took her to.
Now I need to listen to some music from the headliner Pvris, who I’ve never heard of before yesterday. All bands with Vs replacing vowels are gvvd though right?
120 years overdue library book
Someone returned a book to a Pennsylvania library 120 years overdue. It was checked out in 1904. I guess I feel a little less bad about that book my kid lost for 3 months now.
