What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
Watching Gods of Egypt. A better mythological movie than anything Christian-based.

Is it any good so far? 

I heard it got a lot of crap for being "rather white".

I hope you're doing okay, and that your family is too. Death sucks.

*Many hugs for you*

Thanks. That's kind of you. We're all doing well, though of course it's hard on my wife and her sister. The silver lining is that my wife was able to make it to her mom's bedside before she passed. I'm told that her mom opened her eyes and spoke for the first time in over two days when my wife arrived. Painful as it was, they were able to say their good-byes and express their love for each other, which means the world to my wife.

I quite like it. Forty minutes into it so far.

Yes, the Egyptians in the movie are rather white, but I am not a racist.

It's no problem Smile
It's good that she made it to her, i'm sure it must have made it slightly easier for her, as she at least got to say goodbye. Not that it really takes much from such a sad event Sad

Just saw this.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family, Cross.

Damn, Crossless. My condolences.
