Movie - The Professional Bridesmaid (2023) [/] Hallmark Channel romance movie. Maggie (Hunter King) is a professional bridesmaid -- hired to make sure wedding preparation and executions go off smoothly. She's hired to help the mayor's daughter Alexis (Francesca Bianchi) with her wedding but has to do it secretly. Meanwhile former political beat reporter Henry (Chandler Massey) now working for a web news company is assigned to cover the wedding. Maggies is tasked with keeping Henry away from the mayor while also helping Alexis and keeping everything secret from everyone except the mayor, his assistant, and Alexis. And of course Maggie and Henry have a bit of a romance brewing... This movie hits the mark and is quite pleasant.

Restaurant - Bosc + Bartlett at Santa Clara Marriott [/] This is the house restaurant at the Marriott that now hosts DunDraCon. It's good and maybe slightly pricey; kind of standard for a hotel restaurant. I don't even remember what I ate here -- I think maybe just appetizers during Rainbow night.

TV Movie - Stargate: Continuum (2008) [-] Once Stargate the tv series ended there were two tv movies and this is the second one. The last big bad, Ba'al (Cliff Simon), manages to change history and in a last gasp Mitchell (Ben Browder), Carter (Amanda Tapping) and Jackson (Michael Shanks) use the same time travel device to end up on Earth a year at least before the Stargate program was started. No one believes who they are and a year later a Goa'uld invasion fleet arrives to conquer Earth... I don't remember Stargate that well so watching this movie (again) while missing much of the context is barely watchable (I'm sure I loved it when I watched it before).
