Last night was some wonderful rest. I tend to get exhausted by changes in routine and not having any "home time" over the weekend burned me out, even if it was totally fun all weekend. And then yesterday at work was a real "pecked to death by ducks" sort of thing. I kept good spirits, but it was tiring. That is such a change for me. I can remember my past and I could never have had a day like that being as tired as I was and not have turned into a demon.

The bad news was that no home time meant no watching tv or marking things to avoid deletion, so BSG scrolled off the tivo. (Time for a bigger one I think.) I was able to get it on the rerun, but it wasn't around yesterday evening to watch.

So we ground through a bunch of Good Eats and had a nice dinner, which was itself pretty good eats. And I did a lot of playing with my gnome summoner, mostly getting her tradeskills up. I should ding 10 and become a scholar today after work.

Oh and Harry Potter finally arrived from England. So I raced through the first hundred or so pages of Order of the Phoenix. As a bonus, the books are smaller than the US editions and far more comfortable for me to hold. Hopefully I can finish the new book before I untintentionally run into spoilers somewhere.

Really good article in the Boston Globe about how the far right uses fake think tanks and "research" for "counterpoints" designed to keep debate alive about subjects upon which science has an otherwise undisputed view.
