May. 12th, 2022 10:36 amSaw Doctor Strange on Tuesday, and it was again the first time I'd been to the Hoffman in months, though I'd seen the amount of structures surrounding it increase while coming home most Wednesday nights. They've even put a Wegmen's there, which should actually be pretty useful once it opens. The movie itself was so bonkers I actually had a hard time evaluating its quality, but I will say I got much more enjoyment than emotional investment, and I can't say that was good thing, sadly. I started a rewatch of Shang-Chi on the bike machine this morning, and there's no denying I bonded way more with the two leads of that one.
I've been reading James Gardner's history of the Louvre, now reaching the part where it first got turned into a proper museum at the end of the 18th century. I was there once when I was 17, but I remember almost nothing besides the pyramid, and certainly didn't know then how fascinating a building with a crazy history it is. Naturally I want to go back now, but who knows when or even if I'll ever be in Paris again. I also want to go to the National Gallery, which I haven't been to since the pandemic started, and I may or may not go either today or this weekend, though my big planned trip remains the zoo tomorrow, since I haven't been there for nearly a decade and have wanted to since December.
