Things:
- I haven't posted since my little mini-vacation in Longbeach, so let me tell you about it! It was great. I did a lot of hiking in beautiful forests near beautiful beaches, I looked at birds (some of which I had never seen before), I watched a lot of tv, I knit a sock, and I did not converse for more than five minutes with another human being for three whole days. That is pretty much my ideal vacation - an activity that gets you out of the hotel room (or whatever) for part of the day and then the rest of the day to stay inside by yourself. The only way the weekend could have improved would have been to have actual wifi.
- The tv I watched was about half of the first season of Prison Break. Because I figured, if that's where all the Flash villains are going to come from, I might as well watch it, right? It was an excellent decision.
- Speaking of The Flash! You guys, I am so impressed with this show's commitment to its whacked-out source material. If you had told me before the show started that we'd be getting Grodd - Grodd! - the hyperintelligent telepathic giant gorilla with mind control powers at all, let alone in the first season, I would not have believed you. That is amazing. What is less amazing is the idea that now I have to wait a month for the next episode. The next episode is going to have the proper Weather Wizard in it, who is my favorite Rogue who's last name isn't "Snart"! I don't want to have to wait a month for that!
- Also speaking of the Flash, for the last several days, I have been reading comics from the 70's. Oh man, Bronze Age Flash comics are amazing. Iris is from the future, Sinestro teamed up with the Weather Wizard one time, the Rogues apparently have a yearly convention with awards, the Top died of spinning too hard plus speed vibrations and there was a memorial service full of the worst puns ever. So great. Plus, now I have actually read the first issue with the Golden Glider and she is, as expected, the most amazing. It is honestly a problem reading these comics on my phone because I find myself giggling with glee in public.
- The best thing about having a Monday off (as I did this week, thanks to President's Day) is that the work week following seems so short. Tomorrow is already Friday - amazing!
