Miscellany

Doesn't matter why I'm doing it, or what I do once I get there: pulling my laptop off the desk and bringing it into bed always feels very decedent decadent (duh).

Today, it's because I'm cold (brr fall rainstorms, mmm warm covers) and I want to put my feet up (blah, too much standing at work this time of year). It's the crazy-busy season at work -- new quarter beginning, which is always our busiest time with students coming in for class presentations, and the fall is always the busiest. Friday is supposed to be our quiet day; we had four classes come in to visit. And then I have to cover for J tomorrow, which gives me that favorite thing: the six day work week, followed by only one day off. And I don't even know whether I can take off next Friday to make up for it. I hope so, but I don't know yet, it all depends on what happens with our schedule next week.

We finished the first season of Heroes last night, and watched the first episode of season 2 tonight, and I have every expectation of being caught up in time for Monday night's show. Which I won't be able to see until Tuesday, because of chorus, but at least soon I'll only be a day behind the rest of the world. Yay.

Not much else to report. It's been a long week. Not good or bad; it just is. It'll be nice to get the start-of-quarter rush over with, though.

I realize you are having a busy week and feel very tired, but don't you mean "decadent"?

I hope you have a very lazy and restoring day on Sunday. :)

...don't you mean "decadent"?

Well, yes. ;) This is the problem with depending on spell-check when you are typing in bed and on the verge of falling asleep about an hour before your bedtime.

Thanks for the well-wishes! I'm booked pretty solid on Sunday (all scheduled before I knew I would have to work today) but I do expect it to be a restorative day. Or at the very least fun. :)

The problem with being caught up with the rest of the world is that it means you actually have to wait a whole week to see what happens in the next episode :/

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am aware of this downside. ;) But I would rather that than wait even longer to watch the ones that are sitting on the Tivo *right now*...

So you watch Heroes? I don't think I knew that.

[anzubird.livejournal.com]

no, I don't, but I've had the experience with other tv shows... most notably Veronica mars, which I finally caught up with just as it ended :(

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's sad. Of course, the ending of Veronica Mars is just a sad thing all around.

PS. You should watch Heroes; it's good. And I think there's a good chance you would like it.

Ah! When I read 'decedent', I was afraid you had decided to do away with it all rather than suffer through another Saturday at the work-place. ;)

Working Saturdays may be annoying, but it's not quite *that* annoying. :)

My wife wanted me to say that she introduced me to heroes. Which she did.

I never finished the first season, nonetheless I saw season 2 episode 4 last night. Hmm.

And it occurs to me that the downside of bloglines is that this will show up as anonymous because I can't be bothered to log in.
