Yeah this is late, since I didn't get home until 1 in the morning. But why?
Didn't have to go to class in the morning since it was just a small group discussion on zoom. Of course, the storm started by the time that was over, which was miserable. Waited a bit and finally just left as I thought it calmed down. Within 3 minutes I was soaked, so I went home to put on long underwear (it was very windy as well) and get a change of pants to put on when I got to the office. Of course, by the time I got back home (so again, like < 3 minutes) the storm was pretty much over so that change of pants was more of a precaution. Did mean I missed a seminar but whatever.
Hung out for a while, did office hours and answered a bunch of students who were angry about their grades. Around 5, went out with friends for dinner (no bar makes burgers as good as I do. The spices and onions really are key to a tasty, if not well formed, burger). Then at 7 we went to the movie theater to watch the rerelease of Return of the King (extended edition of course). After like 40 minutes of ads (no joke, who had that brilliant idea?) the movie actually started.
Things that stood out watching it again. It holds up really well. Some of the CGI not as much but in general it is really good. The costuming is great. It's lit in a way you don't see as much anymore. You can see what's going on in dark scenes and the bright scenes are nice and colorful. Wow I remember why I liked these movies so much as a kid. The whole thing was really nostalgic as well. So yeah, I do recommend; I forgot how good it was.
Got back to the office at like midnight 30 and then rode home. Worked on my slides for my class and went to bed at like 3.
