Some woeful CGI going on here. Felt like the entire movie was filmed in front of a green screen. Story was okay.

Atlanta airport. Watching an NBA game at the bar. Been a long while since I’ve seen this on draught!
Movie Log 🍿: Finding Mrs. Claus, 2012 - ★★
Couldn’t help ourselves and went to one last Cenote. Saw this majestic guy chilling out at the edge. By far the biggest iguana we’ve seen on our travels, certainly the fondest of the camera!

Finished reading: Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky 📚

Enjoyed what I can only describe as pure chaos at the Lucha Libre in Mexico City earlier this week. Excellent fun and the biggest Micheladas you’ll ever see

Finished reading: Strange Pictures by Uketsu 📚

Beer Log 🍺: Carta Blanca by Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma S.A. de C.V. at El Espantoso
I think I’ve had every lager available now
My themes all use fontawesome icons - but usage is starting to but up against the limits!
Looks like I need to find an alternative and update sharpish.

Some kind of mango and chilli mess. Don’t know
