1. I wear a bow tie now.
No, let me rephrase that: I
am wearing a bow tie now. Which I tied with my own hands, unlike the clip-on in the wardrobe.
It's a skill I had to learn for the play, because there's a scene in which my character takes his tie off and lends it to someone else, and more importantly a subsequent scene in which the tie is returned and he puts it back on in full view of the audience. Consequent of which, having learned to tie a bow tie, I need to practice until I can do it quickly, without a mirror, while carrying on a conversation. Now that I've got the basic skill down, I actually don't think it's going to be the most difficult thing I'll have had to do for this play.

musesfool's
post about Star Trek Into Darkness says a lot of the things that I might have said if I could have been bothered to write at length about it.
3. Just when I decided I was done with
Arkham City, they've started releasing trailers for the prequel,
Arkham Origins. And I'm... not all that interested, actually? I enjoyed
Arkham Asylum, but
City bumped me in sensitive places that
Asylum had managed to avoid, and the trailer makes me suspect
Origins will do the same.
I do like what they've done with Deathstroke's outfit, though.
4. Pretty much everyone on my friendslist with a space in the Archive Of Our Own has done the "randomly pick one of my works and I'll tell you three things about it" meme by now. I don't think I'll bother; I've only got 5 works on AO3, and only one of them is over 200 words long, so I don't think I've got much to talk about.
5. The way we count seasons here, Winter is still a week away, but it's definitely on the doorstep: we've already had the First I-Don't-Want-To-Get-Out-Of-My-Nice-Warm-Bed of Winter (followed by the First I-Don't-Want-To-Get-Out-Of-My-Nice-Warm-Shower of Winter), and I've started making use of the heating capabilities of the air conditioner in the office.
Which led to me having to go back into the office on Friday night to turn the air conditioner off, so it wouldn't be running all weekend. It wasn't that I'd forgotten; it was that the batteries in the remote control died just as I was about to press the Off button, and I needed to go get some new ones...
