Anyway, most of the usual stuff today: grocery store, comic book store, laundry. There'll be a bit extra though.
We need to get the boy an 8G flash drive for his video game development class. And I want to get new alarm clocks for each of the children. I don't like the idea of the boy having his phone upstairs as an alarm clock. And the girl needs to start learning how to get herself up in the mornings.

Anyway, we already had a bit of excitement here in my neighborhood this morning. About 15 minutes ago there was a loud bang outside. Sounded like maybe a transformer blowing. I stepped out into the back yard and did see some smoke among the trees behind the back fence a few houses down. No additional booms, and the smoke seemed to dissipate pretty quickly. I guess we'll have to wait and see if something else comes out of it.

The boy and I did end up at late afternoon showing of Shin Godzilla yesterday. The movie was awesome, of course. The price of the concessions....not so much. The two popcorns and drinks we got cost me about triple what we paid for the tickets.
It almost makes me think it might be worth it to revive my aunt's old practice when she would take us to the movie as kids: sneaking in snacks.

Turns out the Big Badda Boom from earlier this morning was in fact something electrical. There was a second boom while I was showering. When we left the house for our brief trip to Walmart, there were power company trucks in the neighborhood.
Luckily, for us, it seems to only have affected the older houses in the subdivision. I shall now knock on wood.

Tired zombie is tired.
In part, I blame the amount of activity I’ve engaged in today, and especially the past hour and a half. Lots of cooking, eating, cleaning up, lunch prep for the week, and garbage collection.
The other part I blame on the Sunday blahs. Just knowing tomorrow starts another work week is annoying as hell. Although I suppose the alternative is worse.
It sure would be nice to have Star Trek tech right about now.

The dog woke me up a bit early. Maybe 18 or so minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Since she's been having some stomach issues lately, I figured it best to get out of bed right away and take her out potty.
After that I just sat on the sofa with my eyes closed for about 10 minutes. Until my actual alarm finally went off.

The drive to work was a mix of annoying and not. Annoying because I caught a few lights (at least two of which seemed to change for no reason) and had to deal with at least one complete jackass. Not because I didn't catch at least one key light and was able to make it out of the final u-turn just ahead of a bunch of oncoming cars.

I've been making really good headway cataloging my comic collection. The first week I managed just over 1000 books. The second week I slacked a bit and barely got over 2000. As of yesterday, the end of week three, I have 3,614 books cataloged.
That might be about 1/4 of my collection. I'm not entirely sure. Part of the point of cataloging, however, is to finally be sure.

Anyway, I don't expect too much out of the day. Not workwise anyway. We've got another scout meeting tonight. That'll eat into my comic cataloging, but since I'm ahead of my personal curve, I don't mind too much. I might try for a short box.
I finished Gyeongseong Creature last night. So now if I want to watch TV, I'll have to find something. I'm holding off on a rewatch of Alice in Borderland. Season 3 starts in late September. So, if I time it right, I can finish up a rewatch of seasons 1 & 2 then go right into season 3.

For one, it's Wednesday. Which means it's one day closer to the end of me having to come to the office.
For another, I had a pretty decent drive to the office, despite one slightly psycho lady. And a few slow people.
Thirdly, I got some potentially good news yesterday. We shall see how that plays out. Hopefully, in my favor.
