missizzyYesterday started with a disappointment: we found out the hard way that most Chinese restaurants are only doing take-away right now, and if you want that, you had to order from them before Christmas Day. We were able to get takeout from our normal place, though. Fantasia was worth the rewatch, especially since I knew all the pieces of music now, and while much of the animation comes across as simplistic now, some of it was very striking.
Today proved the better day, though. Joel Cohen's Macbeth isn't playing in very many places, but my sister drove us to the E-Street Cinema, and she'd already bought the tickets. It was a stagey, surreal film, in which unnerving imagery mixed itself with a tour de force performance from Denzel Washington to create something one won't soon forget. After it, my sister drove us to her place, where her husband had made us chicken and mac and cheese, all of which was truly delicious. Then we exchanged gifts, with mine including Jester's Mighty Nein: Origins and Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation.
Jon Oliver still has not cancelled, so right now all four us will be heading to the Kennedy Center together come Friday. I just have to get through the telework week first.
