I got a temporary job at the place I was working at as a temp back in December and January. I started on Thursday, and everyone seemed glad to see me back. I even came in on Saturday to work some hours in the afternoon (mostly because I hadn't worked most of the week and felt I could use the extra pay).....
Yesterday was Free Comic Book Day (the first Saturday in May every year). I went to the closest participating comic book store in the morning. To my surprise, there were two huge lines outside the store a mere ten minutes after the store was supposed to open. I waited outside in line for nearly an hour, watching some interesting people in costumes walking around. There were guys dressed as stormtroopers and clone troopers. There was a guy dressed as Batman (Michael Keaton version), and a gal dressed as Tinker Bell. I also saw a guy with a life-sized remote control red and white R2 unit that looked like it was made of wood and metal. It moved and sounded a lot like R2D2 from the Star Wars movies. There was also a convertible modified to look like K.I.T.T. from "Knight Rider" (the 1980's version) in the parking lot. Sadly, I didn't have my digital camera with me, though I was able to take a few pictures with the camera on my cell phone. I got seven free comic books and bought a pack of protective covers after I got inside. To my amusement, I found myself behind the same people in line at the counter as I had been when I was in line outside the store.....
Today was Norman and Gwen's second anniversary. I posted them on Facebook and talked to Gwen on the phone in the afternoon. I finished some laundry leftover from Saturday and did some napping and reading.
