I found a place for my classic “Fuchico on the Cup”. She’s traditionally meant to be hanging off the side of a coffee or tea cup, but this thermometer is a nice place for her to hang out.
This evening Central Texas was under a Tornado Watch, which became a Tornado Warning. Indeed, several tornadoes touched down, the nearest several miles away. We were fortunate this time as we only experienced heavy rains, but I feel badly for those whose homes were damaged or destroyed. At least there was no loss of life…
I picked up a new book from the library and set it down on my desk. Within seconds, Yuzu was testing it out as a perch. Cats!
This evening I watched the Chinese animated films White Snake 白蛇：缘起 and Green Snake 青蛇 back-to-back. I thought the animation in both was great, but enjoyed White Snake much more than the sequel.
The setting of White Snake’s ancient China was more appealing to me than that of Green Snake’s dystopian mish-mash city. White Snake was filled with stunningly beautiful scenes, whereas Green Snake was filled with non-stop action, which was hard to take for two hours.
I believe there will be a third movie in the series, but it looks like it’s going to jump a thousand years into the future… oh well.
As far as the plot of both movies, they were nothing special. I think the main draw for me is the beauty of the animation (where the first film really shined). But I am still hoping for a more interesting plot to tie up the series.
