Saturday: I bought really nice looking salmon today

I plan on eating it for dinner this week.  That's pretty much the most exciting thing that happened today.  There was the little girl at sushi today who ate three plates of tamago.  That's not entirely truthful.  She ate the egg part of the three plates of tamago, and then piled up the rice into a tiny wall.

I also saw this at the store, which seemed crazy:
Knock off Harry Potter "Butterbeer," I think.  I didn't buy it, because butterscotch soda sounds terrible.

  • This sign.
  • That's kind of horrible.  In the standard category, I thought art theft worked like this:  First, find someone rich who wants something unavailable.  Second, steal it.  Third, exchange item for money with pre-identified rich person.  Why would you steal something famous if you didn't have a buyer already lined up?  It's not like gold or diamonds, where it's hard to track back.  There is literally one copy of that painting.  People are going to know it was stolen.
  • I've saved this, and will use it next time there are computer problems that I need to discuss.
  • Tiger meets dolphins.
  • This seems like a bad idea.  My understanding was that most people didn't like the new Superman movie.  Why let them ruin Batman, too?
  • This also seems like a bad idea.  Loki was set up as a villain for Avengers by his appearance in Thor.  Adding Thanos at the end didn't complicate that, since people can understand "bad guy boss controlling visible bad guy."  Using Ultron as the next villain is going to be complicated.  He's a robot guy, who was built by another Avenger (that wasn't in the first movie, so he needs to be introduced, too), who is taking over the world for like the 99th attempt.  That's not so simple to explain.
