Sunday – 12 June 2011
It’s been a great day, so far… and it’s barely half done.

Last night, SaraRules! and I saw Super 8.

It’s definitely a classic J.J. Abrams production, in the vein of Cloverfield.  That said, I’ve seen enough variations in Mr. Abrams’ style to feel comfortable saying that I don’t think that he will become the same kind of one-trick pony that M. Night Shayamalan appears to have become.

This morning, I managed to sleep in (until 0830) and then decided to take a nice hot soak, while SaraRules! slept. After that, we got ready to meet Swiz and Logan at Wheeler Historic Farm for a visit to the opening of the Wasatch Front Farmers Market. It was a small affair – about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the Downtown Farmers Market – but it was nice. We think that it’s still a little early in the season for vegetables, so there should be some growth as Spring moves into Summer. After wandering around the Market, we strolled around the animal areas for a bit. (It wasn’t the longest or most strenuous walk ever, but I’m counting it as today’s exercise.)

After we left Wheeler Farm, SaraRules! and I headed to Old Mill Park to take a look at the Spring run-off. I made a short video of it.

I’m not sure what the rest of the day holds in store… aside from a trip to The Garden of Sweden.

Stray Toasters

• I like this poster. Too bad it’s only available to the movie crew.
• Black Eyed Peas Rapper Forgets Lyrics in France
• As if I wasn’t going to pick up the book already, John Stewart will co-headline Green Lantern Corps, when the title “reboots” in September:

  

  John will share the lead with Guy Gardner, another Earth-based GL. It will be interesting to see how – and if – they play off the dichotomy of the two personalities: John, being more analytical and reserved, versus Guy’s brash, in-your-face attitude.

• WATCHPONIES: Watchmen/My Little Pony mash-up
• Big Shiny Robot’s Clobber-Tron interviews Cassandra Peterson, a.k.a. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
• Reasons people were arrested at Toronto G20

That’s good for now.  Time to get out and enjoy the rest of the day…

Namaste.
