I may have over done it while requesting books from the library. So many books and so little time.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

I got a couple early access tickets the other day. And this was one of the best movies I'd seen for a while. The action scenes were great and who doesn't enjoy the appearance of some giant elephants! I don't think the character development was very complex or interesting. But the action was strong and the dialogue was snarky and fun. A lot of the time I feel like movies are not worth the time and this one definitely was worth it. Five stars

One day you’ll have to choose diplomacy or your spouse. I’m telling you now, it’s got to be your wife. Diplomacy doesn’t care if you live or die. Your wife does.

I mean, I feel secure in my masculinity, too. Being secure in you masculinity isn't the same as being straight.

I hadn’t crossed the line. I’d ridden an elephant up to it and run back and forth along its edge while a mariachi band played in the background, but I hadn’t crossed it.

I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.

People really are like house with vast rooms and tiny windows. And maybe it's a good thing, the way we never stop surprising each other.
