I disliked Rian Johnson since I finished watching The Last Jedi. I won't go too far into why that was (some of his ideas could have worked better if he committed to them instead of yoinking them back by the end credits), but suffice it to say that because of the 7-8-9 back and forth whiplash and the "Your Snoke Theory Sucks" Twitter snark toward the audience (yes a lot of Star Wars fans are terrible, but come on), I only saw Glass Onion because my wife really, really insisted I gave it a try.

I concede that Rian Johnson writes excellent contemporary mysteries and I enjoyed the entire run of the movie and look forward to also seeing Knives Out now. I was truly pleasantly surprised. It doesn't hurt that Daniel Craig gave a weird but impressive delivery and really sold the character he played.

    Exercise, specifically calisthenics. I always could do lots of pull ups as a kid, but I thought with my current :cyber-lenin: body it would be difficult or painful. In fact it's the opposite, I'd say I'm at the point where doing a pull up is easier and less painful than putting on a pair of lace up shoes (and yes, I've done hamstring and pelvic tilt stretches and exercises and can touch my toes, just one of the limitations I have). Took years to get there, but it happened. Heavy single leg squat movements still suck ass though, feel like I'm gonna die. But I don't want to load weight on my back, so that's the way I can train legs.

    Egg fried rice was also good and I thought I would hate it, but it works. Just was a whole bunch of ingredients I don't like on their own, but when put together it's delicious. Especially if you can get a soy sauce with MSG, or MSG on its own.

    As for entertainment, I thought the last of us TV series would be terrible, because most video game adaptations are. But it looks good so far, though I need to watch a few more episodes.
