Impeachmas and more

Well, he's officially impeached now, but there's still drama about the upcoming Senate trial. Pelosi is withholding the articles for now, and we know that Moscow Mitch is gonna want to rush it through after the holiday break. We can always hope for something to happen to break the impasse. Are any Republican senators worried about a backlash due to the public popularity of impeachment? Will they vote for witnesses? Even if it's just a sham trial, it will have been worth it to finally take a stand. That's all for next year, anyway. Celebrate the victory we have now, or we'll all be burnt out too soon.

I didn't feel up to watching the Democratic debate last night. I just want the field to narrow, and Tulsi needs to fucking get out of the race after her pathetic "present" vote.

The final Star Wars movie is out this weekend, but I'll probably avoid the crowds for a couple of weeks. Not sure how they'll include Leia one last time, and I hope that Rose Tico will show up, though the reviews have only talked up Rey, Finn, and Poe.

For now, I watched Frozen 2, and it was all right, but I didn't like most of the songs. "Into the Unknown" was good, but "The Next Right Thing" was too long. And did we really need to watch Kristoff do a cheesy music video about being "Lost in the Woods", doubting his love, when it was merely a misunderstanding not an actual argument between him and Anna? I mean, good on the writers trying to get more diverse with the native Enchanted Forest characters based on the Sambi people, but the cross-culture story still felt generic. The Honeymaren scenes were minuscule, barely qualifying her as a new friend, let alone a love interest. They're more acquaintances I guess.

I kept wondering who was the singing voice that Elsa heard. So the voice was the ice river itself, or Elsa's mother, or who? Unclear. And the whole thing about her being the 5th element makes no bloody sense. I hate that "water has a memory" stuff because even though it made for cool ice sculpture moments frozen in time, it reeks of that homeopathic crap about water retaining a memory of the healing stuff that they vastly dilute. I'm grumpy and disappointed.
