Star Wars Day, Free Comic Book Day

May 04, 2012 20:39

May the Fourth be with you. (Of course, for us purists, the real Star Wars Day is May 25th. But it's not much of a pun.)

Tomorrow, I go to my sister's graduation -- yay! Then I head off to Novi: I'll be performing at Comic City for a Free Comic Book Day event. The address is 43538 W. Oaks Drive, Novi, MI -- basically, in the far back corner of ( Read more... )

Relaxing! (and definitely needed after this week.)

I have an aunt in town for the first time in years and I am seeing her for brunch on Sunday morning.

Sunday evening, my old scout troop is doing their annual fund raising spaghetti dinner/chinese auction, which I plan to attend.

Excellent. How are you feeling, ace? Recovery going well?

hms42 May 5 2012, 03:35:12 UTC

Yes. Doing well. (More in an email in a few minutes.)

Forgot on the list - working on the Concertino 2012 CD. I have started to contact the 2012 guests (and the Conterpoint 2013 guests) for their contributions and its going to be interesting.

Worked today (about 6.5 hours of the 4 I was supposed to do). Chores (wash/dry laundry, vacuum carpets, run dishwasher) and a potluck dinner tomorrow (I'm bringing balsamic strawberries, currently macerating in the fridge). Sunday I have no clue yet.

Star Wars. Huh! To true and faithful fans, May 4 marks the anniversary of the fight at Reichenbach Falls between Sherlock Holmes and Professor James Moriarty in 1891 - which led to the deaths of both men (as it was believed at the time).

I have an Art and Wine festival to attend tomorrow (it's just a mile up the street, a comfy bike ride). And some broccoli greens to harvest already.

Yes, well. That is, as they say, a different Canon than Star Wars. In the interests of intellectual debate, I must point out the chronicles of the Reichenbach Falls fight as detailed in the public archives of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, as well as the didn't-actually-happen explanation posited at the end of The Seven Per Cent Solution. Although those are both independent studies and their veracity is subject to doubt, they are intriguing alternatives.

Well, I begin my May shift on Sunday. This week I had Mon & Tue off. Next week I will have Sun and Sat off. So I get up at 5 AM for the last time tomorrow, then I get one day off, then I start working 9 to 6 instead of the current 7:30 to 4:30. It will be nice being able to sleep i a little bit, especially since I never successfully changed my sleep habits to match April's shift...

Weekend looks weekend-like.

I got my Avengers fix tonight and am well satisfied. One non-spoilery thing: there are both a stinger scene (early in the credits) and an Easter-egg scene (allll the way at the end of the credits).

I will also observe that I saw the film in 2D -- and I predict that if you see it in 3D, you may find yourself trying to climb over heaps of holographic post-battle debris as you leave the theater. (If you plan to see it in IMAX, you may find yourself wishing you'd worn body armor at certain points....)
