tracker7The Niece and I got together Thursday and saw Knives Out. For some reason, I had gotten into my head that this was a comedy, and I was wrong, but who cares because it's one of the best movies I've seen in quite a while. A stellar cast giving superb performances and working with a great story and director - this is the good stuff.
Had a heck of a good night playing X-Wing Friday. Got in a team Epic match, and it was a proper Empire versus Rebellion throwdown. I fielded a Gozanti as our capital ship, and the opponents had a CR90, and we both had the obligatory mix of fighters. Without really meaning to, I built my Gozanti to be a brutal close-range combatant, and it combined with a couple of TIE Bombers and a Star Wing to make short work of a couple of bold Y-Wings. My teammate's gaggle of TIEs got the best of the other Rebel escorts - though not without losses - and we were able to focus everything we had left on the CR90. It's a tough ship, but three rounds of fire from all quarters did it in.
Looking at dropping one of the streaming subscriptions, probably Disney+. I'm hitting the same state I was in when I dropped cable way back when - I'm just not watching enough to justify the expense. Netflix and Amazon Prime have more than enough for me, and I got a year of Apple TV+ with my new iPad, and I'm just not watching very much on the Mouse now that The Mandalorian is over for a while.
