[145/365] Glorious

I do think it's funny that too such similar sets of nerds have a Day oh the same day.

I've seen a few friends declare that they know where their towel is. I like Douglas Adams fine, but I just read [personal profile] innerbrat's Facebook status that's just "All the little angels rise up, rise up, all the little angels rise up high" and I've got goosebumps now. That's what the 25th of May is, for me.

Didn't Terry make it 25th May on purpose? He certainly used to wear a towel on the relevant day. I was once flyering a signing for a Discworld Convention on 25th May, and he was wearing the towel and kindly greeting the half-dozen other nerds who were similarly doing so. Meanwhile I was kicking myself for having forgotten.

Glorious revolutions are a thing to celebrate. Our at least remember.
