15 thoughts on Death on the Nile SPOILERS

I saw my first movie in theaters since the pandemic and wanted to write a bit about it.

  1. I did not think it was Gal Gadot who died
  2. I definitely thought I had figured out the crime several times (I did eventually but only after several wrong guesses)
  3. I loved the costumes
  4. Poirot's mustache was ridiculous
  5. It was super convenient (and odd) that the staff of the boat left every night
  6. Also, those poor staff who had to deal with five deaths at their place of business and had to carry two of the bodies around like it was a normal part of their job
  7. It did take a while to get to a death
  8. Gotta love the secret lesbian reveal
  9. I wonder if in the original book there were Black characters (I'm not at all complaining that they were in the movie, I'm just curious about the source material)
  10. Sometimes the special effects just weren't good enough
  11. There was more music in it than I thought there would be
  12. I'm not sure the opening scene of Poirot during the war was necessary
  13. There sure were a lot of guns for a wedding party
  14. I want to see Murder on the Orient Express now
  15. I hope there are more Poirot movies--they're fun

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
