5 THINGS: Eddie Murphy, Douglas Adams and Meditation

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Wednesday, April 3, 2013:

“I know only two tunes. One of them is ‘Yankee Doodle,’ and the other isn’t.” – Ulysses S. Grant. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The South Kingstown Conservation Commission and Tree Board meets at 7 p.m.
• There are no meetings scheduled for Narragansett.

Not to be confused with Douglas Adams’ Life, The Universe and Everything. will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Kingston Free Library.

Mmm, delicious vegetables and produce! Goose Pond Farm of West Kingston is offering community supported agriculture accounts from this season to Dec. 31. For more info, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s the start of the trial of Oscar Wilde. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

“The two sweetest words in the human language, dee fault!” – Homer Simpson. On this day in 1975, Bobby Fischer refused to play chess against Karpov, handing him the title of World Champion by… default.

His girl likes to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time. Happy 52^nd birthday to Eddie Murphy! And yes, I’m absolutely linking to his hit song, “Party All The Time,” because I can’t link to anything else for vulgarity reasons. (For similar reasons, Amanda Bynes turns 27 today, and I can’t link to anything she’s hypothetically said about the rapper Drake.)
