I started the Friday Notes series in March of 2021. (I would have mentioned the five-year anniversary in last month’s edition had I noticed it.) Since then (61 posts), I have managed to whittle down long-standing, and in some cases ancient, piles of notes.
The piles aren’t all vanquished; likely they never will be. New notes spring up like mushrooms, so it seems there will always be fodder for future posts.
Or at least endless editions of Friday Notes.
I wrote about Project Hail Mary (the 2021 book by Andy Weir) back in February [see this post]. Last month I wrote a few paragraphs about the movie (written by Drew Goddard and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller).
Project Hail Mary (the 2026 movie) was released to theaters on March 20th. I wanted to be sure to see it on the big screen, so I went to go see it on the 22nd. And loved it.
I need to see it again before I can write about it, but for Sci-Fi Saturday I thought I’d post some links to videos that dig into the actual science behind the book and its adaptation.
All my life I never noticed that, when February has 28 days (non-leap years), the dates in March line up exactly with the dates in February. It took writing this TV Tuesday post for March 24 and realizing last month’s edition was also on the 24th to notice it.
Seventy revolutions around the local star, yet I can still find new things lurking in what is by now a vast pile of ordinary. It’s a double-dip pleasure: firstly, the delight of the new thing; secondly, the delight of still being delighted by delightful things (and wordy whimsy).
More to the point, I’ve been delighted by some things I’ve been watching lately, including actually going to the movies this past Sunday.
