HAPPY THINGS:
1. Enjoying Bobby McFerrin's Improvisació 1 which is on the soundtrack for the film, The Square (2017).
2. Participated in an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Women's International Day at the SFMOMA.
Great way to learn about editing Wikipedia pages. I worked on a page for the artist, Patty Chang. I added a sentence and reference link.
FYI: There are edit-a-thon events held year round at different locations and everyone is welcome to attend and learn how to edit and contribute pages to Wikipedia. See if there is a place near you (details).
3. Tournament of Books 2018 (Rooster Award), March 7-30
GOT the latest Field Notes special edition Rooster Memo book. Also got the Field Notes Haxley edition which includes a “Story Book,” featuring ruled pages alongside 31 black-and-white drawings and a “Sketch Book” with blank pages. So cute.

T'Challa, the King of Wakanda, rises to the throne in the isolated, technologically advanced African nation, but his claim is challenged by a vengeful outsider who was a childhood victim of T'Challa's father's mistake.
COOL storyline and origin story of a hero that is new to me. As with most Marvel movies, make sure to stick around for the very end of the end credits for some extras.
