Today’s mail included the notification that someone had posted to my blog–the other blog, the Harry Potter blog connected to my MySpace (which is here, if–in fact, whether or not–anyone cares). She read my predictions, and posted to the final entry, Spoiler Scorecard, to congratulate me on my predictions.

I attempted to post a reply comment, but the system wouldn’t take my comment in reply, so I messaged her instead to thank her. Apparently she found me through the Temporal Anomalies site, I presume because of the Prisoner of Azkaban analysis and not as part of the recent inrush of Terminator fans inspired by The Sarah Conner Chronicles.

Did I mention that last night’s Collision rehearsal went really well? We got through the first three songs decently (not fabulously), and then took the fourth from “nobody knows nothing” to playing it beginning to end with minimal problems, in less than an hour. I was pleased.

I’ll be even more pleased if I can get some sleep tonight and make it to church this weekend, so let me stop dawdling here and move ahead.

It does not happen that often–maybe once a year, maybe less–but from time to time someone likes my Temporal Anomalies stuff so well they copy it, and then try to pretend it is his own work. This time it was the Donnie Darko analysis, showing up in a Blogspot blog, so I had to register to post a comment. Here’s hoping that whoever found what he wrote interesting will find me, although really, do people read blogs? I’m usually surprised when someone says he reads mine–or she, as happened yesterday. I expect it would be barely interesting to family and friends, barely interesting to those looking for Multiverser product–it’s just too much a combination of trivia and incidentals to have much interest.

Meanwhile, I was exhausted last night, and apart from rousting myself to launch the boy to school I tried to get as much sleep as possible. At the midpoint–when I rose for the school launching mission–my wife complained that I’d been tossing or something most of the night, disrupting her sleep, and I was still quite tired, but more rested than I’d been. I was not feeling well most of yesterday, but am considerably improved today.

On the other hand, I’ve a lot to do if I’m to finish all of Monday’s and Tuesday’s work in one day.
