Avengers: Infinity War, 2018 - ★★★½

Watched on Wednesday April 22, 2020.

I watched Thor:Ragnarok next in my lock-in Marvel movie marathon. The straight up comedy did not work for me at all. Big events were supposed to be happening and I was made not to care. Next!

I’m reading a book about reading books.

Book - The Year Of Reading Dangerously by Andy Miller

There’s a Twitter thing going around asking people to post a photo you’ve taken from a place you’ve been but you don’t appear in. “Just a pic, no description”. I’m doing it here.

Things just got serious. I’m drinking coffee instead of my usual tea! Kindle primed with books of prose poems and Japanese short stories. I downloaded Berlin Alexanderplatz too so plenty to read.

I’m trying my hand at writing little lipograms. A lipogram is a piece of writing that forces you to omit a certain letter eg the letter “e” which is the hardest to omit in English. It’s difficult but fun and gets the brain cells working.

I succumbed to the lure of Disney+ and signed up for a few months. The first thing I’m doing is watching every single Marvel movie in chronological order that I haven’t seen before i.e. all of them.

No trouble with “plant” today. Going for the literal.

Genuine small ad in this week’s Private Eye magazine. Sounds totally legit.
