Let’s see what I did today.<\/font><\/p>\n

I mailed out a couple of issues of Kaleidotrope<\/em> to new subscribers, although I can’t shake the feeling that I did so earlier in the week and just forgot to make a note of it. If that’s the case, a couple of people are getting an extra copy of Issue #6 — an issue which, as it happens, is proving to be maybe my most popular back issue thus far. It’s a good issue<\/a>, make no mistake. It’s got Heather<\/a>‘s short story, “Replicate Fade,” for starters, which Locus<\/em> quite liked<\/a>. And there’s a story in it from the very recently Nebula-award-nominated<\/a>* Rachel Swirsky<\/a>…who, as it happens, also has another story in the upcoming, am-I-really-doing-an-issue-in-July July issue of the zine.<\/font><\/p>\n

I went to the bank.<\/font><\/p>\n

I watched this week’s episode of Community<\/em>, and enjoyed it enough that I decided to re-watch last week’s incredible paintball episode.<\/font><\/p>\n

I went to see Iron Man 2<\/em> with friends. It was just like the first Iron Man<\/em> movie, only less so…in a more-so kind of way. It’s entertaining enough, but it does feel a little overcrowded with details for sequels and spinoffs and other Marvel properties. They really do seem to be pushing this Avengers<\/em> movie, as if it were really happening and not just a lot of talk that’s contingent on a lot<\/em> of other things falling into place. Like the Thor<\/em> movie doing well, like the Captain America<\/em> movie getting made, like people forgetting how lousy the Ed Norton Hulk<\/em> movie was, et cetera. As long as it’s got Robert Downey, Jr., at the heart of it, Iron Man<\/em> is a lot of fun but I do wish they’d pared down a few of the bit players and cameos. (Except for Stan Lee’s, that is. The man does seem almost clinically insane sometimes on his Twitter feed<\/a>, but I loved his very brief cameo in Iron Man 2<\/em>. Excelsior!)<\/font><\/p>\n

I mowed the front lawn.<\/font><\/p>\n

I watched this week’s episode of Doctor Who<\/em> and liked it quite a bit.<\/font><\/p>\n

And that’s about it. Doesn’t seem like a whole lot when you add it all up like this, but it was a pretty good day altogether.<\/font><\/p>\n
