Christopher Robin

When you pair Obi-Wan Kenobi and Peggy Carter together in a movie, along with Mycroft Holmes and a bunch of beloved stuffed animals, you know I’ll come a-runnin’.

Christopher Robin is the first movie in a long time that had me laughing and crying equally, sometimes at the same time.

I couldn’t relate to the title character because let’s face it, I’m still a kid at heart.

But to watch him interact with some of my best friends from childhood (at some point after Kindergarten, we had the whole gang from the 100 Acre Woods) just made me smile with tears of joy, though there were a few moments of real sadness.

The voice acting was great, it was a pleasure to hear Peter Capaldi as Rabbit.

And two songs that I had hoped would make it into the movie, did.  One is obvious, about a certain bouncing animal, the other almost made me jump out of my seat from pure surprise and happiness.

I highly recommend seeing it.  Go now!

Dell

My home desktop died on Monday, I so I went and got a replacement.

I found this one in the open box/display model section at Best Buy, for about $300 less than what it runs on Dell’s website:

This may be the first actual Gaming Desktop that I’ve ever bought.

After installing and configuring and transferring programs and files, I tried a few games that I still play to see how they look.

The results were impressive. 

So impressive that I actually forgot to take screenshots in Star Wars The Old Republic, World of Warcraft, and Star Trek Online.

I try to do that later.
