Lily did good at the new vet clinic. The new vet was very impressed that her teeth looks so clean and healthy. She gave Lily an A+. She wasn’t really shy. (It might have been the calming stuff I gave her) We did microchip her yet. It costs 45 plus 20 to register. So we may do it in a few months.
Afterwards I got the cat food I ordered. I also got a new litter mat, and litter. The litter mat is a little short, but I layered it on top of the other one and it’s fine.
I watched Murder Most Foul yesterday. I had taped it when it was TCM. It is based on a book by Agatha Christie. I may read it sometime. It has Margaret Rutherford, Charles ‘Bud’ Tingwell, Ron Moody, Andrew Cruickshank, Stringer Davis, Alison Seebohm, Pauline Jameson, Ralph Michael, and Annette Kerr in it.

Everyone says the man is guilty, but Miss Marple thinks he’s innocent. She goes on a mission to prove the man is innocent. She auction to be part of theatre group.

I loved this movie. I wish they had made more movies. Next week is the last one they made. It is Murder Ahoy.
I watched The House with a Clock with in Its Walls. It is loosely based on the book by John Bellairs. My mother bought me the movie because supposedly there would be references to the show Supernatural. (there were only three references that people have seen.) It has Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Owen Vaccaro, Kyle MacLachlan, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Colleen Camp, Sunny Suljic, and Lorenza Izzo in it.
Warning: there is some scary scenes and a little bit of violence.
Quick Summary: A boy named Lewis comes to live with his uncle. His uncle lives in a magical mansion. The previous owner was a bad warlock. That bad warlock hidden a clock in the walls of the mansion. Lewis helps his uncle find the clock before the clock counts down to doomsday.
There are some differences between the book and movie:
1. Lewis isn’t skinny in the book.
2. Lewis finds the necromancy book on his own in the book.
3. Lewis copies from necromancy book. He doesn’t bring it to the cemetery.
4. Lewis and Tarby look at graves before bringing back the dead in the book.
5. Issac’s wife is the one they bring back from the dead in the book.
6. Mrs. Zimmerman fights Issac’s wife alone in the book.
7. They don’t have the key in the book.
8. Lewis was the one who finds Issac’s papers about the clock in the book.
9. Lewis doesn’t ask his uncle how to be a magician.
Even though there were many differences, I did like the movie. Jack Black was perfect for the role of Jonathan. Next Monday I’m watching Murder Most Foul.
I finished reading The House with a Clock in Its Walls by John Bellairs. It is the first book in a book series of 12 books. I may read all 12. There is a movie loosely based on the book.
Warning: there are some scary scenes and a little bit of violence.

His uncle tells him that the previous owner, Issac, was a crazy and bad warlock. Issac had hidden a clock somewhere in the house and it is always ticking. (That would drive you mad.) His uncle also tells him that he himself is also a warlock. Mrs. Zimmerman is a witch who lives next door. Lewis goes to school and becomes friend with a boy named Tarby. He tries to impress Tarby by getting his uncle to do some magic tricks. But Tarby doesn’t really believe. So Lewis tries again to impress him by bring up the dead. He does and who turns out to be Issac’s wife. She moves in the house across the street. She has someone break in Jonathan’s house to get the clock key. Mrs. Zimmerman “kills” Issac’s wife again. The clock begins to chime louder. So Jonathan suggests to Lewis to do a silly magic show for the clock. They do and find out where the clock is hidden.

Warning: there is some violence and mind blowing stuff.
RECOMMENDATION: Please read The Dark Tower book series by Stephen King before reading this book. Some of it will make more sense if you do.
In Echo Volume 3, Atriya gets injured by Verus and some people on the planet Echo. In Echo Volume 4, Atriya wakes up in another world he thinks. There is a sky and plants, but not really real. They are underground. He learns some magic techniques, but he gets bored with them. He wants to fight. He volunteers to join Dake’s team of fighters. Dake is very hard on him by first cutting off his hands. Don’t worry he regrows them back by getting in a magical pool. He is tortured by Dake over and over until he remembers who he was in a past life. When he does, he sees his other lives. Dake tells Atriya about his past life. He also tells Atriya that he needs to “solve” a Buddhist riddle before he can fight the Regent. Atriya doesn’t get the riddle until the last of riddle is shown to him. He fully becomes something more to beat the Regent.
I loved this book and book series. It’s awesome. I’m a little sad that this is the last book in the book series. I’m going to miss Atriya and his adventures. Now I’m reading The House with A Clock in Its Walls by John Bellairs.

But he gets too scared of the “monsters.” He later gets enough courage and he learns that the “monsters” were kids sent down to Earth.

I liked the movie, but there should have been a backstory to it. And it should have a sequel. Like I said Next Monday I’m watching Murder She Said.
I watched The Legend of Tarzan yesterday. I taped it when Cinemax was a free preview. It has Alexander Skarsgård, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie, Sidney Ralitsoele, and Antony Acheampong in it.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to spend some time with my best-friend. She is bringing my birthday present (my birthday was last weekend).
My birthday (Last Sunday) was ok. I did get my haircut and dyed it again (blond). My mother did make a cake (spice cake). It’s so good.
March 9th (or 10th) we change the clocks again. March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day. Of course, I’m going to wear green. I will be giving Lily (my black cat) some treats that day to celebrate.
March 23rd Lily will be going to the vet again. I’m going to try some calming drops since my uncle’s cats are going too. I hope to get Lily microchipped.
Also this month some new shows are coming on.
