+ One of the bodies from the Franklin Expedition has been identified through DNA [CBC article]. It's Captain James Fitzjames! Very exciting! It's amazing that after so much time, there are still new things to discover. It would be amazing if more of the bodies can be identified in the future. Of coures, part of this requires relatives to make their DNA available; in Fitzjames's case, he had distant living relatives who were able to be tracked down for the project.

+ I'm very curious about the film Sinners [Trailer], which comes out next spring. Horror thriller set in the Jim Crow-era South. Michael B Jordan stars in this; I'm not familiar with his other work, but I've heard he's pretty good. Anyway, this looks super interesting. I'll have to make a note to see it.

+ I've decided to drop Polish and pick up Norwegian again. It's disappointing to give up on something, but on the other hand, I was mainly trying to learn Polish for a trip, and due to change in plans that won't happen in the foreseeable future. That's okay. Norwegian is still a lot of fun now that I've come back to it, though I feel like I've forgotten a lot.
