Flat Yeti came on our last ride last night. Picture courtesy of a friend who also ended up being the Rebel Spy! And we got Cassian Andor. Great ride.

Our view of the fireworks in the show last night from the Rivers of America. (No, not from in the river! We'd just finished watching Fantasmic.)

Dinner yesterday was at , and we tried the BBQ pork shanks with leek and brussel sprouts salad, and blueberry corn muffin, which was a limited-availability item this past Friday through Sunday for the 5th anniversary of .

I liked the dish ok, but the pork was a little dry. The salad was really good. 1/2

I'm guessing it was an approximation of the ribs that were on the menu when they first opened, which included a cabbage slaw and the blueberry corn muffin. But that dish was so much better. I wish they'd bring that back to the menu. #DockingBay7 #GalaxysEdge #StarWarsGalaxysEdge #BlackSpireOutpost #Batuu #Disneyland 2/2

Godzilla Minus One was great! Recommend.

I can't really describe it. It was simultaneously like an old Godzilla movie, a contemporary one, and something very new, all at the same time. I'm still processing.

Toho added just enough Kaiju to give the moments weight, but not so many that the movie felt like a VFX demo reel. And their take on atomic breath had so much weight.

It's now my favorite Godzilla movie ever. Sorry Mothra! I think people that don't like Godzilla movies would still like it.

@marcprecipice @mekkaokereke I saw the regular version two or three times and then saw the black and white version, which was absolutely stunning, especially after having seen the regular version. Every time I saw it, I got more out of the story. Brilliant movie. And an Oscar winning one too!

Michelle Obama is a well-known enough person that the headline should be that her mother died, not connecting it just to Barack Obama.

Why is he centered in the headline?

A verdict is one thing. Actual consequences is another. I don't have time to read all the pundits right now, but I expect with appeals and such, it's not going to be over for a while. I don't expect it will have any effect on his eligibility for the election, and it's just going to feed more fire on the "any election or proceeding is rigged unless the outcome is favorable to him" crowd.

I saw yesterday, a film based on the true story of Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel, in 1926.

Such a terrific movie, very well done, great job by and the rest of the ensemble cast, even when they're playing characters you'd like to toss into the ocean. /1

I was at an early access screening at #AMCTheatres , in support of #USASwimming . I was surprised to see quite a number of younger children there, between the ages of maybe 7 and 12, to the point where I wondered whether I was in the wrong theatre.

Well, my preconceived notions clearly showed, because the kids were quiet throughout the whole movie. They were absolutely engaged. Maybe they were swimmers themselves or had siblings that were? /2

If you get a chance, I highly recommend this film. One warning, though - if you're inclined to seasickness symptoms while watching movies with water motions, you'll want to look away for a bit during certain nausea-inducing scenes. Ask me how I know. 🤢 #YoungWomanAndTheSea /3 end

In June 2013, we were very lucky to attend a special celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Tiki Room at #Disneyland , and the event included being in the Tiki Room, with #RichardMSherman singing songs at a baby grand piano that had been brought in. Such an amazing evening.

Thank you for the music. #RichardSherman

At #PixarPalsPlaytimeParty in the #FantasylandTheatre in #Disneyland for #PixarFest , there's also a photo op for #ItsABugsLife, and included in that is a box of Casey Jr. cookies. The "nutrition facts" caught my eye. 8,000 calorie diet seems ... high? And there's always a disclaimer about what could inadvertently be included, but the last line seems like more than you should expect? And, the mis-spelling is not mine. 1/2

Had a closer look at the #PixarPalsPlaytimeParty in the #FantasylandTheatre in #Disneyland for #PixarFest . Lots of fun backdrops and characters too. Missing from these pics are the areas for Brave and Luca, which are on the main level. #MonstersInc #UpMovie 1/3

For lunch today from #AwardWieners , I tried the plant-based Philly dog, topped with mushrooms, grilled onions and peppers and dairy-free crema. For some reason, I hadn't expected there to be a hot dog, just the vegetables. That might have been better, as the hot dog had zero flavor. None. I ended up having to put mustard on it to give it some flavor. It's not the first time I've encountered a plant-based product devoid of flavor, even something as simple as just salt. I don't get it. 1/2

I also tried the asada fries - filmstrip fries topped with marinated carne asada, cheddar cheese, cilantro and onions, with salsa de arbol and guacamole. I enjoyed this, and the guac was particularly good. #AwardWieners #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 2/2
