men_in_black_poster5_star_rating_system_3_and_a_half_stars I remember going to see Men in Black at the cinema. Or at least I remember my friend being obsessed with the bloody cow at the beginning. She’s a bit of a weirdo. But I do remember enjoying the film. I would have been 9 so the silliness will have appealed. And we all know that the 90s was peak Will Smith time, right? Thanks to a bunch of underwhelming sequels, the first Men in Black film has become something of a classic. People have started to view it through rose-tinted glasses. In my review of the latest installment of the franchise, Men in Black: International, even I did it. So, after all these years, does Men in Black really stand up? Or have we all just been hit with a huge wave of nostalgia? There was only one way to find out. And it meant me having to…

Spiderman: Far From Home

Directed By: Jon Watts

If I was to sum up Far From Home I’d say entertaining diverting fun but the most interesting stuff is in the credits teasing what’s to come for the MCU.

This was one of “those” days. But, my partner stepped in and took care of dinner. She is becoming a cook. She is a great baker but was always afraid of cooking. She had to have a recipe that must be followed to the letter. Finally, she is becoming more confident in her cooking abilities. She said as she made this she kept thinking, “Okay, how would she do this.”

So, this is how we spent our Thanksgiving. My daughter danced in the Mid-America Oireachtas (eer-uh kh-tus) in Louisville, Kentucky. We had a great trip and a fun weekend but we are all worn out. Two of the four have colds now and thankfully since we got home last night about 6 pm today was a snow day! Woo hoo! We all needed a day to recover and our prayers were answered.  Thought this was not her year to recall she is already looking forward to January and feising her new steps. I am so incredibly proud of how she was disappointed at first (she placed 9th last year) but she picked herself up and started planning how she was going to change things going forward.

Below is her ceili (Irish folk dancing group) team. They did the best they ever had even though they did not recall…
