This got delivered to the office today:
Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI, an auto intelligent bounce flash for my Rebel T6i camera. I need to read up on how it works, and watch a few videos on bounce flash photography.
I took a few shots with and without the flash:
Cut chicken into smaller pieces (1 inch?). Place 1/2 in bottom of 2-qt crock pot. Place 1/2 of bag of sweet potatoes in crock pot. Pour sauce over contents. Add rest of sweet potatoes and rest of chicken. Set for high cooking (5 hours). Every 1.5-2 hours or so, stir contents. Serve over steamed rice.
To me, it was epic and it lived up to the hype.
My only complaint was a distinct lack of a helicarrier in this one.
I can’t believe I ate a large popcorn by myself.
Thanos is still my favorite over Darkseid.
I was way off on my ‘death guesses’.
We got a poster and a coin as we were leaving, too.
Peter Dinklage is awesome.
“I am Steve Rogers.”
Today is the 80th anniversary of the release of Action Comics #1, which of course is the first ever appearance of Superman.
There are accolades galore around the web, saying more about him than I could, but I will say this:
Thank you, Superman, and all his creators, artists, writers, actors over the years, who have inspired me to be the best person that I can be, then, now, and always. I have always looked, up in the sky.
20 movies in 10 years.
That’s how many Marvel Studios movies there will be at the end of 2018.
In that same amount of time, Star Wars had 3 films, Superman had 4 films, Star Trek had 5, James Bond had 7, and Harry Potter had 8.
The biggest difference between those franchises and Marvel’s movies? I’ve enjoyed every single Marvel film, though some were better/worse than the others. I can’t say that I had the same enjoyment for the other movies in other series.
Three games played:
Gloomhaven, a dungeon crawl co-op game. This is the 4th time we’ve attempted the first scenario, and this time we succeeded!
Han Solo Card Game, an adaptation of the in-universe game Sabacc; it even comes with a pair of dice similar to the ones hanging in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon
Dice Throne, which came down to the Paladin (Glenn) vs. the Barbarian (Dave). The Pyromancer (Nelson) and Moon Elf (me) were both knocked out of the game earlier.
