Loosely Based

Ready Player One is one of my favorite books, I've read it several times and listened to Wil Wheaton do the audiobook. It was an impossible book to turn into a movie, and I knew from reviews this was not the book, so Mari and I went in with very low expectations. If you are a book purist and can't divorce yourself from that, you will not like the movie. There is very, very little the same. If you can set that aside and enjoy it for what it is, I thought it was a great movie. We happened to run into our friend Steve at the showing, who also loved the book and he fell into the former category so your mileage will definitely vary.

Nier Miss

Finished Nier: Automata this evening. A JRPG that came highly recommended from several sources. It just didn't click with me and I ended up abandoning the side quests to just finish the three main storylines. I found the character designs really silly as well which took some of the seriousness out of the story.

March March

The March For Our Lives, Nashville version. First science, then women, now guns. If there's one good thing about Trump, it's that I've never seen this much political activism.

Back On Top

The capitol building has a point again.

OCD Nightmare

This puzzle will never be finished.

Cave In

Then we hit the upper gallery to see an installation by artist Nick Cave, mixing some of his soundsuits, a mesmerizing video, and then this piece made of beads on bamboo suspended from the ceiling that shifted images as you walked around it. For instance the leopard that appeared at a certain angle.

Been There

Given our recent trip we wanted to go see what they had on Rome and were not disappointed. It was a huge display with tons of artifacts and took us almost two hours to see everything. Now having been to Rome it was fun to match places and things with locations we had visited.
