I am "off" today. The only thing on my schedule is therapy. But, I need to write a 4-page outline for my Computers and Humans final paper. FUN! (Not really.)

That does sound like fun. (Hint: entitle the paper "Computers are our Masters". From there it should write itself! Um. Not literally.)

Meanwhile, I have to write a page or so on the proposed privatisation of Japan's Post Office before I go to bed. And get up early. And see the dentist tomorrow. Fun!!

Steph, that is a weird start to the day.

Nora, I TOTALLY know what you mean. It is gonna be a long month. But, on the other hand, I think it's going to go very fast.

on edit: billytea, the paper will be fun. I'm just not looking forward to writing as detailed of an outline as he wants.

I, for one, welcome our computer overloards.

That's no stiff upper lip! It's RoboSmackers!!

So I called the super, and they have to turn off the water in the building to fix this particular issue, and they want to wait until 9 a.m. or so to turn off the water

And maybe they can put in a required shut-off valve or two in the line while they are at it.

There is a bird flying around on our balcony and it is making Bastet go nuts. This is hysterical

I just went out and shoveled snow. We got a couple of inches of the white stuff last night

I've been getting barn swallows turning up outside our apartment. The coolest one was the swallow that got trapped in the stairwell, and I had to shepherd it through the apartment out to the balcony to free it.
