Art, History, Comics, Film, and Assorted Geekiness

Went with family to visit the Dr. Seuss Museum (he’s from where I’m originally from). The inside is a mix of showcasing his work and biographical information such as family photos from the early 1900s, original art he drew, as well as his actual desk and some of his pencils. Good day.

I used to find the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” episode “Darmok” a bit hard to believe (the one where an alien race speaks in metaphors). However, that was before a large part of my communication revolved around TV and movie references. Sideshow Bob, surrounded by rakes.

Someone I have the misfortune of knowing who is a privileged minimalist: “You have too many books, comics, pieces of art and dvds. I can have someone help you remove all of it to simplify your life.” Me: If anyone touches my stuff, there will be a podcast and Netflix special covering what I did.

The organizers of HeroesCon sent out their weekly store email and included the dates for next year’s convention. So, I went ahead and made my hotel reservation and have that locked in. It’s a dichotomy: I’ll make reservations and plan ahead, but I also wait until the last possible moment to pack.

Was taking a break and looking at some listings on Heritage. Placed a few bids here and there, losing track of how many bids I placed. After seeing the total of what the max bids would be, I really hope I’m outbid on many of these listings.

A man saying “I’m never gonna financially recover from this.”

So, how much original art do I have? Not counting what I have framed and hanging on walls in my apartment, here are 3 waterproof cases (with wheels) that I repurposed to hold portfolios of various sizes, Mylar sleeves, sketchbooks, etc. Currently in my walk-in bedroom closet, standing up.

3 black rectangular cases next to each other on a wooden floor.

Been able to avoid spoilers. Now at a matinee screening for “Supergirl”. Have my usual movie snacks - Twizzlers and Reese’s Pieces - so I’m all set for when the movie starts. Though not going to enjoy sitting through all these ads that will playing on a loop, until the movie actually starts.

Ticket stub for the “Supergirl” movie, with the main character on it.The wall outside the theater that says “IMAX at AMC”.

Keep seeing ads on IG about investing in Skybound Entertainment, presenting itself as akin to the WB and Disney catalogs. Not that I have the money, but doesn’t seem like something most investors would ever see a return on.

Was able to get my work in to end the quarter on a positive note and won’t have to work this weekend. Will try to spend the next few days trying to get ahead for next quarter. For now, having a celebratory burrito for dinner and find something to stream to zone out for a bit. Good times.
