The Oscar nominations reminded me that I wanted to see Train Dreams, so I watched it. It was really good, and sad. And gorgeous, too. It really captured the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

This is the first year in a long time where I'm legit optimistic and excited about what's coming next. This is going to be a great year.
