Life update
Jul. 8th, 2009 09:21 amHaven't posted in much too long; my apologies!
Had a lovely super-long holiday weekend - my department decreed that All Regular Employees Shall Take Thursday Off to help us spend down our vacations. So I spent Thursday taking a kitty to the vet (just regular checkup, no emergencies!), having lunch and hanging out with a work buddy from the Genome Center, rummaging at the library, finishing Chapter 2 of Paper Mario 1K-year Door, and generally relaxing. (I was sorry to miss seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nezumiko - hopefully next time she won't have the flu!) Friday we both had off. Um... we went skating, and I think we just hung out. Saturday I did a pretty thorough vacuuming of the bedroom, which badly needed it. Privet trees/bushes, to which I'm horribly allergic, are just starting to come into bloom, so anything I can do to lower the amount of allergens around is a Good Thing. We spent the evening indoors with the kitties with the doors and windows closed, so the noise of the fireworks wouldn't freak them out too much. Sunday I went to church, we skated again, I cleaned the living room/dining room, and finished Phoenix Wright 2. (If you make the last couple of in-court choices wrong, you get a surprisingly detailed 'wrong' ending; much more interesting than the usual simple slamming of the courtroom doors. The 'right' ending is, of course, even better.)
We also finished reading Neal Stephenson's Anathem aloud to each other. It definitely deserves its own post, hopefully I'll get to it soon. For now, suffice it to say that it's a book that demands your close attention on pretty much every page, but is overall worth the effort the reader puts into it.
Finally, a marvelous video ganked from kayray - College Humor's reworking of West Side Story into Web Site Story. It's only about 4 minutes long, and extremely well done. (Worksafe.)
