Friday Update

This morning I finally watched The Grand Budapest Hotel, which was wonderful. I don’t think I’ve watched any other Wes Anderson — his style struck me as somewhat like Kubrick but funnier (except when it’s not). Googled Stefan Zweig afterwards; should probably try reading some of his works.

Other movies I hope to getting around to viewing while I’ve got the time:
The Shape of Water, Yellowbrickroad, Knives Out, Fast Color, Annihilation.

 Andrew’s back has been bothering him worse than usual, so he asked me to get us a new shower-head that’s supposed to provide more pressure. Purchased it by phone from Canadian Tire then went downtown for curbside pickup. Lineup was maybe forty minutes, which was actually slightly better than I’d feared— I kept worrying that when I reached the corner of the building and turned I’d see the line continuing to the end of the block and doubling back, or that I’d discover the line was actually for Best Buy and have to begin again at the back of another line; but there was the door at the corner and they had my purchase ready. Went up to the Bloor line and got groceries on the way home. Also shawarma, but I got mixed up and forgot to say “no” when asked if I wanted hot sauce. Managed to eat my first half of the wrap anyway (I usually end up saving the rest for the next meal).

They need to start home delivery for things like that. Lining up in the cold isn't good for anyone.
