updates from a vacation

This has been my thrilling week off between jobs — it’s been hard for me to balance the conflicting thoughts that I should be resting up or rocking out. There has been a lot of tumblr? And paperwork. Lots of paperwork.

In other news:

*The practice driving went well today. About two hours all told, but we didn’t go straight there or straight back, so 45 minutes is probably a solid commute estimate. (And we got lost once, sort of, but it was totally not my fault.)

*I have now reached the exalted point of the 1024 tile in 2048. (Once.)

*My FedEx packaged was delivered into the hands of the US postal service on Tuesday, and arrived here on Wednesday, two days ahead of schedule.

*X-Men Days of Future Past — what even is that about? I had sort of written it off after the beach divorce movie (X-Men First Contact? X-Men and the Cuban Missile Crisis? whatever that one was called), but some of the gifs floating around tumblr look pretty funny and non-tragic.

I think they're handling that by using the same actor, but in Ultron he is not allowed to call himself a mutant, and no one is allowed to refer to the source of his powers. Or maybe it's a different actor, but I'm quite sure on the referring thing. Doesn't make much sense to me, but then I am not a Hollywood exec. ::shrugs::

IDK how they decide these things... Have some interesting IMDB tidbits instead! Apparently, X-Men Pietro Maximoff is played by Evan Peters. MCU Pietro Maximoff is played by Aaron Tyler-Johnson. (Elizabeth Olsen plays Wanda Maximoff, and she and Aaron Tyler-Johnson also play siblings in the Godzilla movie coming out this year.)
