-Family expedition to see The Last Jedi. I was so underwhelmed by the previous movies that I actively dreaded seeing this one. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it!. 4 whole women with important roles and distinct personalities! Some actually poignant tear-inducing moments! Some other things that are Spoiler-y! (Not that I didn't groan at a lot of the dialogue -- especially Luke Skywalker Attempts To Be a Cynical Professor. But overall, I did not feel uncomfortable and miserable at how bad it was the way I did during Rogue One.)

-Also, got an R&R on a paper I submitted a while ago. I'm probably going to put off reading the reports until tomorrow. Then I can stew miserably about them for a few days and get to work on revising the damn thing.  But --  this is a good break to the string of rejections this year, I hope.
