Another busy day

June 14, 2011 by Fred

Today was not quite as crazy-making busy as yesterday, though there was still a lot to do, several projects in one state of not-being-finished-yet or another. I’m actually quite looking forward to tomorrow being my week’s Friday, and taking off a long four-day weekend.

My parents are off to a tour of Ireland for a couple of weeks tomorrow, which is in part why I’m taking these days. It’ll be a quiet number of days, just me and the dog.

While there’s a new strain of E.coli in Germany recently, high levels of Prozac are apparently killing off the bacteria in the Great Lakes.
Noel Murray on ‘A My Name Is Alex’, a “very special episode” of Family Ties. It’s an interesting look at a show that hasn’t aged well, nor as badly as one might necessarily think.

If you don’t like something that’s fine. I’m never going to tell you your taste is wrong just because it doesn’t match mine. But if you don’t like something, Jesus fuck, tell me why.
Doctor Who to give it a rest with all the Daleks. I can’t say this is exactly a bad thing.

Busy day

June 13, 2011 by Fred

I’m only working a three-day week this week, but if they’re all as busy as today… woo boy.

Not a bad day, at least in that it seemed to fly past, but…well, the day pretty much just flew past. Lots of work, lots of projects to get squared away, lots of times when I was sure my brain would explode.

But it’s just a three-day week, so there’s that.
