Agh, it's late and I have to wake up at least semi-early so I want to make this quick but I also have so much to talk about....issues lol. But today was so good! Really awesome all around. So I woke up at 9:45 and got ready for the baby shower, then drove there with my mom and my sister. It was at this really pretty restaurant that backs up right on this lake and the view was actually the prettiest thing ever, and despite it initially being chilly it actually turned into a gorgeous day! It was so nice. The baby shower was really fun! I was so happy to see my cousin and just celebrate with her because ahhhh I love babies so much and I'm going to love this baby so so much. I didn't know most of the people there other than a girl from high school in my grade who goes to the same church as my cousin and they're in the same small group. I thought she would be there and I kind of wanted to see her too because she's also pregnant right now and she's like, the first girl who was there all the way through high school (she technically left senior year but she was always around anyway so I don't really count it) that got pregnant and we were always friendly so it was nice to see her too. The food was really good, it was brunch so they had like Mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, French toast and fried potatoes and such. They did a little game where they passed out cards with things like "learned to walk at 9 months" on them and you had to guess if it was the mom or the dad that did that as a baby. I was kind of cheating off my mother because she was around at the time enough to know which was my cousin for almost all of them lol so I ended up getting all but one random one right. She opened all her presents, and we got her a bassinet that they'll use for a while before moving to a crib. And they got lots of books since that was the thing they asked for instead of cards which was nice. So yeah, I really enjoyed it. After it was over we ended up dropping my sister off at her friend's house for a bit and then headed home. My dad and my brother were gonna take a trip out to the outlets to look for suits, so I decided to join them because, lol, clothes. I did need some blazers and just general work clothing for the summer and such. The first store was Sachs 5th avenue "off 5th" outlet which has a ton of different designers and has some really reasonable stuff, and dude, I just kind of went nuts and ended up with so much clothing, lol. I got this cute floral t-shirt from this company that made another tshirt I got from there are really like, and a super cool leather jacket with a hood that totally reminds me of Jessica Jones and I love it. I got two blazers, one gray and one tan, which is good because I was wanting more neutral colors. And then there were the dresses, and I just kept finding dresses that would be like, perfect for work that were in my size and reasonably priced so I was like "well okay I'll try them on" and all but 1 fit really well and looked nice haha plus one dress that was more like for a party and its pink and black which has always been like my favorite color combination for dresses but I never find anything with it so I was super happy about it. And yeah, my dad was just like "k cool" and just bought everything haha sooo that was pretty awesome. Neither my dad or my brother actually found any suits at the stores they looked at, so I was the only one that ended up buying anything lol. Went home and got Chinese for dinner, then not long after that my sister's friend who's staying over and coming with us to the show tomorrow came over and hung out for a little bit (we're friends) before we went to pick up my sister and went to see Wonder Woman! Ahhh, I knew it was going to be amazing and it totally met every expectation I had. Like, it was just so damn good and I loved every minute of it. Gal Godot was absolutely perfect, like she was just completely Diana I don't know how to say it any other way lol. Chris Pine was excellent as well, and they did a good job balancing his storyline as the "male lead" but still making it very clear that this is her story and he was very much aware of that. The scenes with little Diana were too cute as I knew they would be, I was like, squeeing the entire time just like "she's so cute!!!!" And I loved the whole Zeus backstory with the "godkiller" and immediately I was like oh, it's not the sword, I know where this is going lol. The battle scene with the Amazons was so freaking fantastic, there was so much amazing fight choreography going on I couldn't even take it. I love Diana's character so much just because I feel her like so much. It's like I said about the line from the trailer, the "who would I be if I stay?" and I loved how much that showed in the scene with the trenches and no man's land where she just doesn't accept that there's "nothing she can do to help these people" and is just totally badass and blows everybody away. That was an AWESOME action scene. And of course the ultimate showdown was pretty epic. It was interesting how they did it. I have to say, I didn't expect her to get an actual showdown with Aries. I didn't really expect him to be making an appearance, lol, but as soon as that guy had come onscreen earlier I was like HE'S EVIL and I totally knew the whole time he was gonna end up betraying them so I felt satisfied in that. The fight with the general was pretty sweet, but then Diana afterwards when she saw man still fighting was so sad and I wasn't sure how they were gonna come back from that, but they did it amazingly well to have Aries show up and try to get her to feed into what she was feeling only for her to just reject it. And STEVE. AHHHHH. I legit cried as the plane exploded. Such an awesome self-sacrificing hero. Often in stories we are characters prepared to sacrifice themselves, but they somehow get out alive. We knew that wasn't gonna be the case here. Steve was all in, and he was going out like a hero, and oh how beautiful it was. I really, really loved his storyline. I was wondering how they were going to have Diana discover that she was the "weapon" when she wasn't told it by the time she left the island, and having Aries tell her was just such an excellent choice because it made her realizing her power and roaring up to use it against him that much more incredible. And the wristcuffs! AHHH! I died, it was so great I could keep going on about it for quite a while but I'm sure you get the idea. So yeah, I was really satisfied with it and very happy DC finally knocked one out of the park, and that it was such an epic female movie (there was a moment at dinner when the all-female showing of it came up and my dad was just like "I just don't see why they had to make a movie into a political statement" and then was like "what would an all-female showing be if not a political statement?" and I literally laughed in his face before yelling a lot about women's safety and existing in public and how only men could see that as a political issue). So afterwards of course we just came home and hung out for a few before getting ready for bed in preparation for tomorrow, and in anticipation of that early morning I'm not going to drone on any longer about what it will consist of because you will be hearing plenty about it tomorrow! So I will talk to you then. Goodnight, awesome females (and occasional male). Stay wonderful.
