What I'm watching today

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend (2020, Netflix streaming) - This is Netflix's follow-up attempt (after Bandersnatch) at an interactive choose-your-own-adventure film. I had only seen the first season of the show, so I was a little lost on the details of the movie.

The path I chose short-circuited past some seemingly important plot points and I finished the movie in about 45 minutes. I didn't bother going back so see what I missed, because it really wasn't that interesting.

The 7yo had an art assignment for school where he was supposed to replicate the famous painting The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. We ended up creating three-dimensional replicas done in crayon, marker, and pencil. It was
