Sometimes I amaze myself with my capacity to get things done. Yesterday was one of those days. I guess I just need the pressure of feeling as though I have a lot to do in order to buckle down and get to it, but in any case, it worked, and all of the things that absolutely had to be done yesterday were done by about 5pm, when I knocked off for the day.
For dinner, I went up to BW-3 in Har-Mar and had some cheap chicken legs and then played two games of NTN trivia. Won them both. I won the first, the hour-long game, pretty handily (though I almost blew it on the last question), and the second with a come-from-behind win on the last question. Then I called it a night and headed home, with at least one of the other folks playing trivia happy to see me leave. It’s nice to go out on top.
Today, I’ve still got a fair number of things to do, but it feels as though the worst of the pressure is off, so I may end up slacking again. Or perhaps the productive mood will continue. Too early in the day to say for sure yet. The weekend will probably contain much running about and moving of boxes (including a huge pile of mom-crocheted-afghans, just in case I have a cute gal sleeping on the couch looking chilly sometime), so I suspect there’s at least a nap in the plan for today.
- In St. Paul, the Vulcans’ future [is] under fire. It’s still a while before the trial, but everyone seems to have decided that Tom Trudeau is guilty, and the Vulcans have to change their ways. Okay, I can see dropping some of the more risqué traditions, but there has been talk of shutting them down completely, and I think that would be a loss. [press-patch]
- I guess the world does need a blog on Geek Etiquette, if only because so many of us are bad at it, including the author. [accordionguy]
- The former “Governor Moonbeam” himself, Jerry Brown has a blog now. We’ll see how it goes. I suspect the fact that he started the blog is not unrelated to the fact that he’s running for Attorney General in 2006. [instapundit]
- As steveo said, this monkey has some enormous stainless steel balls. Takes a few seconds for the video to get interesting, so be patient. It’s worth it. There’s sound, but it’s not terribly annoying. [steveo]
