Got off work early yesterday for the day before a holiday weekend. Mary Beth and I watched the second part of the fourth season of Stranger Things that just came out. It was shorter than I was expecting. It was only two episodes but they were long episodes (one regular movie-length the other long movie-length). We spaced 'em out a little bit with dinner in the middle but we still got through much earlier than expected. Overall, the season was good though probably still my least favorite. It's more action-y and I'm not as into most of that. I'm always a sucker for any Eleven content though, and most of the other characters, really. And some of the elements gelled better towards the end. The menu for the last episode showed the scene of Eddie playing "Master of Puppets" on guitar in the upside-down and I cringed a little inwardly for what I was sure would be the corniest thing ever, and yes, by nature (an in effect) it is pretty corny but it worked much more than I would have expected. I don't thing I have anything else on that, I guess that suffices for my spoiler-free observations. Afterwards, Mary Beth and I took a short twilight walk around the neighborhood. We went a different way than usual and just happened to run into our old neighbor Carter. Surprised but said hello, we always knew his parents live a block over from us so we could assume he's visiting them, but he's moved back from California and staying with them for now (he'd apparently just moved back the day before) so that's a pretty crazy coincidence we just happened by him. (In sadder moving news, the house Griselda lives in no longer has the chairs on the porch he liked to sleep on or any of the sports-related signage or anything that doesn't give the indication his owners recently moved out, so it looks like Griselda has moved away!) Very later at night Mary Beth and I watched some Hilda. We finished up the second season (well, I know I had missed one or two episodes here and there, and I still haven't seen the first). Well, I think that's about it for now.
