Drizzly Saturday
Sep. 29th, 2018 03:19 pmSo. Last night I watched The Shape of Water, the Guillermo del Toro movie with the mute woman and a Fish Guy. And ... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I thought del Toro did an amazing job of bringing time and place to life and got terrific performances out of his cast, especially Richard Jenkins, Octavia Spencer, and Michael Shannon. I did think it was a tiny bit too long (even at 123 minutes) and even though, as I said, I thought Richard Jenkins was excellent I would've cut one of his scenes. And another small problem was that (to me) Michael Stuhlbarg and David Hewlett looked too much alike, and especially when del Toro was setting up the side plots I was confused as to who was involved with what. BUT ANYWAY. I would recommend. Two thumbs up.
Tired and cranky today because apparently my back did not appreciate twisting and turning in order to reach something in the pantry yesterday, and in return graced me with muscle spasms and aches the entire night. Still very achey. Getting old is not for amateurs, chiclets. Good news, though -- had my six-month checkup on Thursday and my A1C was 5.6. Doc said I could probably stop taking metformin and just stay with the Trulicity (once a week) if I wanted. IDK; it's something to consider, but I'm also wary of upsetting the "balance." We'll see.
