We saw TLJ today, and I was entertained by it. I certainly liked it better than The Force Awakens, but that's due in part to my being super-over J.J. Abrahams and his narrative and cinematographic ticks.

Scattered comments:
- I really liked TLJ, even if a whole bunch of the story was driven by no one stepping in and stopping Poe's bad choices train, and the plot for Rose and Finn being kinda pointless.
- Apparently I am good with shirtless Adam Driver? Look, I don't understand it either, but dang, the dude is impressive. And with leather pants!
- Some of my favorite parts were snarky ghost!Yoda setting fire to the Jedi history, Leia using THE GODDAMN FORCE, how Snoke's death happened, Luke and Leia together "at the end", and the fact that Rey is not a Skywalker. I really like the fact that she's a random nobody who is Force-sensitive.
- I was really damn amused that none of the shippers got what they wanted from this movie. Rey + Kylo? Teased, but denied! Rey + Finn? Hey look, there's Rose!, Rey + Poe? They only just met at the end of this movie! Honestly, the only ship that comes out of this with any sort of push, in a hatesex sort of way, is Kylo + Hux.
In other news, I am solidly in the light-colored GLITTER eyeshadow with all the mascara mindset right now, which makes doing makeup ridiculously fast. Also, felt tip eyeliner with some sort of stamp on the other end of the pen is Very In Right Now, which means I now have eyeliner pens that come with pre-inked hearts or stars. Apparently if I don't have to freehand those sorts of things, but just tap a stamp onto my cheek, I will wear them all the time.
In other other news, I'm finally digging into the stack of gothic & supernatural romances by Barbara Michaels that Thea gave me a while back, and whee! They're all sorts of fun. Which is what I expected, because Barbara Michaels was also Elizabeth Peters, and I adored (most) of the Amelia Peabody books.
Finally, happy Solstice, everyone. Now the light comes back.
