I stopped at Big Lots last night. There was no particular reason, I just hadn’t been to Big Lots in a while. Ultimately, I bought a DVD — La Femme Musketeer<\/i>, which was a made-for-television sequel to The Three Musketeers<\/i>, centered on the daughter of d’Artagnan. (d’Artagnan is played by Michael York, reprising his role from the Dick Lester trilogy of films, though I don’t think this film was meant as any sort of continuation from Return of the Musketeers<\/i>.)<\/p>\n
Buying a two dollar DVD, of course, was not the major accomplishment of my Saturday.<\/p>\n
1) I rewrote my biography for Shore Leave<\/a>. (Shore Leave<\/a>, by the way, is from July 10th through 12th in Hunt Valley, Maryland.)<\/p>\n 2) I submitted two revisions to a forthcoming article to take into account some recent developments. I thought the first revision was sufficient, and then midday more information smacked me upside the face, which necessitated the second revision. I like the article. It’s surprising, and I’m curious what sort of reception it will receive. Done.<\/p>\n 3) I performed spreadsheet surgery. On Friday I was sent some spreadsheets that required clean-up, and with the other things going on at the office and on my plate, I knew I wouldn’t get to them until Monday, and I needed them to be done going into<\/i> Monday. So it was easier to slap them on the flash drive and clean them up at home. Spreadsheets proper are done, and then I have to submit them for approvals Monday morning when I get to the office. (I could submit them now, but I had to fire off a question to someone regarding one of the spreadsheets that I won’t get an answer to until first thing Monday.)<\/p>\n Today plans involve laundry and “THOD<\/a>.” Specifically, I want to come back to this<\/a>, which stands right now as a half-written scene, scrawled notes, and a random paragraph.<\/p>\n On a different note, while I was at Big Lots, one of the workers, stocking the shelves, took note of my t-shirt. It was a bright red Captain Marvel t-shirt. “Shazam,” he said, and I nodded knowingly. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I stopped at Big Lots last night.
