I’m in a bit of a reading slump right now, so I didn’t get through a lot this month. It’s fallen down in priority, but it’s temporary. That’s just how it goes sometimes. I did finally read The Last Unicorn, which I had been meaning to get to for quite some time now, so that was great. Anthony Bourdain’s comic was on the list for years too, so that’s another one crossed off.

Movies watched:
Sing Street (2016) – Great coming-of-age movie with some fun songs and nostalgia.

Moana (2016) – One of the best Disney movies I’ve seen in quite a while.

Mindhorn (2017) – I really like Julian Barratt, and this was just silly fun.

The Blues Brothers (1980) – Somehow I had never watched this classic comedy, but it was great. I hadn’t actually realized it had musical numbers, so that was an added bonus.

TV watched:
The Layover: Season 2 (2012) – We love Anthony Bourdain, and this show was very entertaining. I’m jealous that he can eat and drink so much and then hop on a plane. Those two things do not mix for me.

Games played:
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS (2017 pre-release) (PC) – I got back into this recently. It really taps into my competitive spirit. I don’t usually touch games that are pre-release, but the hype got to me. Looking forward to see what they do with this in the next few months.

Overwatch (2016) (PC) – This is another game I’m revisiting. It’s great when you just want to jump in for short periods.
