Tonight, I've been in a sci-fi mood so I watched Battle Angel Alita and Bounty Killers. About the only thing they have in common, besides being sci-fi, is that they're both set in dystopian worlds that survived wars. The first, based on the anime,is more high-tech, of course, with advanced cybernetics and floating cities, while the later is more grim and gritty, with lots of exploding heads and such.
They're both fun movies, and I enjoyed them, although it would be nice if someone did a sci-fi movie, set in a utopian future, where eveything turns out okay.
It would be a nice change of pace, at least.

Tonight, for the first time in about a year and a half, I went to the movies.
It felt nice. Odd, but nice. Like normality is a bit closer now than it was a month ago.
I saw Black Widow. It was a pretty good movie. There were a couple of twists that I didn't see coming and, for a movie featuring Russian characters, the humor didn't feel very Russian. Not to me at least.
But it was still an enjoyable movie.
Perhaps, too enjoyable.
While there I decided to indulge and got a big popcorn and a diet soda. Which pretty much knocked me out of the park, calorically. So, not good.
With that in mind, I have decided today will be a Free Day and I will not take a Free Day this coming Tuesday.
That way, things will balance out.
Right?
Right.
Anyway, I hope everyone has had a nice night.

Today started off slowly. I woke up, dinked around on the computer for a while, then took a shower and left the house. I got a haircut and the oil in my car changed, then I went and saw The Mummy.
That's where my day started to go a bit lopsided.
I stopped by the concession stand, intending to get a bottle of water or something, but wound up buying a small Cherry Coke. As in movie-small, which means it was a small tub of soda. *sigh* So much for keeping it under 40 carbs. :/
Then, the movie started thirty minutes late because of technical issues. Eventually, it did start and we did get to see it in its entirety. It wasn't a bad movie, but it was deeply flawed. Not scary at all or, really, very exciting. I'd give it 2/5; wait for it come out on Netflix or On-Demand.
After that, I went by my grocery store to get supper and discovered they are switching up a lot of their brands. A lot of the brands I like to buy have disappeared from the shelves, replaced by more expensive and less Keto-friendly products. I'm a bit miffed about that and am thinking I may have to start shopping at another store. Maybe even (God help me) Wal-Mart.
So, home now, where I have eaten some sausage links with a little green salad. I smothered that salad in ranch dressing and added fried porkskin as faux crutons, then added a couple of hard-boiled eggs. It was a good supper, but I can tell that the caffeine and carbs from this afternoon are having an effect.
I'm craving carbs and sugar. I want to go out and buy a big bag of red seedless grapes and just devour them all. I want to get a two-liter Cherry Coke and suck that baby dry. I want a frosted honey bun.
I don't have any of that, though. What I've got are some peanuts and a cup of chicken flavored bullion broth. That'll just have to do.
