chuckroThor: Ragnarok - Yet another solid, very fun Marvel movie, that manages to stand alone nicely despite being in the middle of other events. I miss Jane and the Earth-based supporting cast, but acknowledge they would have basically nothing to do here. I'm going to guess Lady Sif doesn't appear so they can pull her in later, rather than having her get killed with the Warriors Three. Given the continued characterization of Loki, I suspect they're eventually going to make explicit that he was being influenced by Thanos / the Mind Gem in the first Avengers movie. (Also, Loki totally pocketed the Space Gem from Odin's hall, right? We all know that happened.) And I'm amused by the continued portrayal of Heimdall as the only responsible adult on Asgard.
The Impossible Burger - I recently made it to a Bareburger and tried the Impossible Burger, an all-veggie patty that is supposed to better approximate meat than any other. And yes, it does—if you presented it to me as a cheap frozen beef patty, I'd believe it. It's not as good as a Bareburger beef patty (which are very good), but we're really getting there with the fake meat offerings.
Brigadoon (Encores production at City Center) - I was a bit surprised at how much of this show I'd forgotten until I realized that I performed it with the St. Killian Players 20 years ago. It was a delightful production with fantastic dancing and a cast that was clearly just having a good time.
We were able to take ARR to The Brownstone Diner for the first time in three years, because his ability to eat baked milk means that he can have their pancakes without throwing up, and the pancakes are the reason to go there. They are still very, very good.
