I’m not sure why I’m up so early; I didn’t get to bed until somewhere around 4:00. No cats were involved in the waking-up process. No loud noises. *shrug*

Maybe it was just the internal pressure on my bladder.
Maybe it was the flapping of a butterfly’s wings on the other side of the world.
Maybe it’s Maybelline.

Friday was.
I’ll just leave it there.

I slept in following Thursday night’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban viewing. It took me a while to get up to “feel like showering and becoming socially presentable” mode. But I did. I headed to work and was nominally productive.

After work it was time for Friday Night Coffee®. (Of which I had none, but I did have two Strawberry-Banana Smoothies – fruity, green tea-enhanced frozen goodness.) We picked up (and dropped off a copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for ) on the way there. We ran into and Young Miss Fiona who were heading out to shop. , , and showed up shortly thereafter. Chat quickly turned to (okay, it was more of a sudden lurch to the left) comic book-related topics.

<sarcasm>
Heaven knows how much I abhor talk about comic books.

I was quite happy. knows his stuff. And, : He’s a fan of the Jim Lee Batman. showed up later to round out the group. We didn’t go to Cheers: North for post-coffee food.

  • Superman Celebration: 10-13 June 2004 in Metropolis, Illinois
    I actually stopped in Metropolis when I was moving to Utah. The town had quaint two- and three-story buildings, a town square… and a giant statue of Superman. I had a picture of me next to the statue, but it has disappeared. I’ll have to go back and take another some day.
