✿ Watched the 2015 remake of Poltergeist with the horror movie gang Friday evening. Verdict: It's not the worst remake out there, but it's nothing special, either. There were some nice extra touches in the form of callbacks to the original movie, and one of the kids got their own character arc in a way that was pretty well-done. But it isn't better than the original film, and it isn't one that I would suggest watching instead of the original. I'd mainly suggest watching it for those who have seen the 1982 Poltergeist and are curious about what a modern version might look like.

✿ Christ on a cracker, I can't believe it's already August. I have no idea where the rest of the year went. It just kind of zipped by. It's already starting to get dark at a reasonable time (around 9:30 PM, as opposed to around midnight). I'm kind of dreading autumn. The dark gets harder to deal with every year; when I was a kid, I didn't give a damn that in winter I'd be walking home from school in the dark. These days, it affects me way too much.

✿ August 1st is the anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Uprising. A few years ago, Sabaton released a song and music video about the event Uprising. It's a great song and a great video, I recommend watching it (though keep in mind it's obviously violent and such, due to the subject matter).

All of those numbers are very late; I'm still getting used to the sun setting at 9pm here. The latest I'm used to is 8:30. What is it like in winter?

If you ever feel up to it, I would love to see pictures of where you live. I'm always really curious about these things. I can't wait to see more of Canada than Toronto and Montreal AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

We actually were going to do a NS-PEI road trip this summer, but it didn't work out for various reasons. I was told it's kinda similar to where I was raised, so I'm more excited to see different things, anyway.

Weekend pictures sound great! It might not seem like much to you, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it! :D
