Meme: The Friday Five: 26 Nov 21

1) Who is your favorite relative?

The only one I speak to is my sister. The rest are dead or voted for Trump.

2) What's the farthest you've traveled for a family gathering?

I used to drive the trek from Washington DC to Jackson Mississippi regularly. It's about 1000 miles and takes about 14 and a half hours. I used to do in a straight stretch (only stops for gas/petrol). I think I was a trucker in a past life.

3) Will you/when will you put up decorations for December holidays?

I will get the Christmas box out tomorrow (27 Nov) and put them up. I think I'm unusual in that I pack things up very quickly after Christmas (usually 26 or 27 Dec). Once it's over, it's over. And I grew up thinking it was bad luck to leave them up after New Year's.

4) What were you thankful for this week?

I had parent-teacher conferences this week with Minisculus' and Minor's teachers and I was thankful for how many nice things Minisculus' teacher had to say about him. She really loves my kid!

I was also thankful I finished the 5k upright and in a reasonable time (for me) without pain.

5) What is your hometown known for?

An annual festival celebrating okra (the vegetable)

Into the Void: the Movies!

I went to the movies for the first time in two years (the last time was a National Theatre Live showing of the play Frankenstein with Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller) and saw Venom 2. I enjoyed it very much (I liked the original, too). I like Woody Harrelson as a serial killer and I like that Dan is a likable character and I like Mrs. Chen.

You get to pick your seat when you buy the ticket (like an airplane) and I picked the third row (I like to sit close). There were only 3 other people in the theatre (a guy in the front row and a couple somewhere in the back). It was a Tuesday afternoon at around 2 pm. I got popcorn and settled in. Too many trailers.

So I wrote a fic (natch).
