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 📚
Wha a great read! I love the way the previous two books in the series have contributed to this wider universe. Hopefully there’s more to the series.
Spent the past few days Cenote-hopping around the Yucatán region. Amazing places and incredibly relaxing!
Now onto even more relaxed pursuits, time for the relaxed beach phase of our trip.
Movie Log 🍿: Notes on a Scandal, 2006 - ★★★★
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
The amazing architecture of Mitla, a Zapotec settlement in Oaxaca. Unbelievably preserved!
Finished reading: Strange Pictures by Uketsu 📚
A good mystery that reminded me of the game Hotel Dusk Room 215. It was engaging trying to piece things together.
The lovely streets of Puebla 🇲🇽
OK I’ve pushed an update to my Microwave theme that stops using FontAwesome icons and instead uses them from Bootstrap. When you get the chance to upgrade to 1.20.0, please do. If you see your icons stop working - it’s because …
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.
Movie Log 🍿: The Running Man, 2025 - ★★★★

Beer Log 🍺: Pacífico Clara by Grupo Modelo at Distrito Urbano
Some kind of mango and chilli mess. Don’t know

Finished reading: Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut 📚
A really interesting read. Felt like an exploration of PTSD. I’d be very interested to know where the autobiographical bits end and the fiction begins.
Stopped at a taco restaurant the other night and had what I think could be the meal of the trip. From now on, I would like all my meats cooked al pastor.
