Should be a pretty typical Saturday. Albeit a bit more quiet and without the boy being on my computer. My plan consists of the usual at the moment: grocery store, comic book store, laundry.
I might finally try to make it over to the place I found that does professional framing. I've got some original art by Kelley Jones I want to get framed up nice.

And I've got to remember to check my sprinkler system for leaks. I opened it up yesterday and everything seemed good. I also did a test run, but forgot to check if that triggered any leaks. We were having trouble with that last summer, but I think it might have been because one of the vent valves wasn't closed all the way.

I was contemplating what to watch on TV last night. After searching through Amazon, Netflix, and HBO Max, I settled on one of the few movies I've actually purchased digitally - Brotherhood of the Wolf. It's a French flick from back in 2001. The three most recognizable people in it for me are Mark Dacascos, Vincent Cassel, and Monica Belluci.
The plot was inspired by the legend of The Beast of Gévaudan, so it's a period piece. It's got a good bit of action, taking good advantage of Mark Dacascos' skills. And, of course, there's Monica Belluci. At the time, probably the picture perfect embodiment of sensuality and feminine beauty.

Although it is a bit warm in the office at present. That tends to be a problem as the weather gets warmer. The building's AC shuts down (or at best runs very minimally) over the weekend. So, on Monday mornings it has to play catch-up. It's a bit uncomfortable at first, but that changes within an hour or two.

I started watching a new (to me) series last night. It's another Korean show, called Gyeongseong Creature. Start's off in Japanese occupied Korea, near the end of the WWII. There are secret experiments going on, and some missing people set events in motion for the protagonists.
It's weird, but interesting.

For someone, anyway. I know that I will most likely not have a happy day.
To start, I'm not feeling that well. Stomach issues again. This seems to be the norm for me now. No matter what I eat (or don't). And despite the various medicines. New normal like this I can do without.
Secondly, I heard from my brother last night that my aunt (mother's older sister) is back in hospice care, and it's not looking good. She's my godmother, and I've got a lot to be grateful about regarding her treatment of me. She could be annoying at times, but I suspect that was just the teacher in her. Anyway, we'll see how that plays out.

There's a big balcony/garden area here on the third floor, between the two "towers". They keep a beehive out there. Yesterday, the beekeepers did something to piss them off. Some of them got into the lobby and nearby stairwell. Several people were stung.
The last email was a warning to steer clear of one of the stairwells (the one I usually use) this morning because they were going to remove the hive. Not sure if they're going to replace it or what.
