Better today. I did some copy editing yesterday afternoon, which made a nice change, and took my books back to the library and got some new ones out and then hit the grocery store. I was all set to go home and cook (well, I say "cook"... I bought pasta and Classico sauce because I didn't feel up to real cooking) but as I walked past the Korean restaurant next to the Claremont (Maison de Seoul, I believe it's called) I realized that what I really, really needed was some good spicy food. So I dumped my groceries at my apartment and came back and they fed me 5 separate appetizers (lots o' kimchee) plus tofu in seafood broth and really amazing rice. Home by 9:30 and crawled straight into bed. I'm definitely getting yet another cold, but I think I'll live.

Books read/finished: Foucault's Pendulum (oh so immeasurably better than The Da Vinci Code -- why has the latter been on the bestseller lists for a year? -- although perhaps I am biased because it starts from a position of skepticism whereas TDVC goes for the "unseen forces are at work all around us" approach; I never liked the conspiracy episodes on X-Files either). The Shortest Way to Hades (reminding me yet again that I need to have someone explain to me, in depth, a) cricket and b) the difference between a barrister and a solicitor -- yes, I KNOW one argues in court and the other doesn't, but I would like more detail please). Desolation Island. Several others. (I finally learned just my last trip to the library that Hamish Macbeth started as a series of books! Coolness.)

Work is not bad, but not great either.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

I was staring at the ads on the metro platforms Friday night and it occurred to me that, if I had the time to spare, it could be worth travelling the entire metro system just to see if they have put up a poster for The Passion of the Christ next to one for Jesus Christ Superstar, so that I could take a picture of it.

# 2,774 in a series: the illustration for "hypodontia (in dentinogenesis imperfecta)" in Stedman's Medical Dictionary, 26th edition (Illustrated in Color).

Dear God(s/dess/es).

Once again, the trite expression "At least I have my health" takes on new meaning...
