A small moment of weekend amusement, and a comic

Saturday: mow lawn, whack weeds, trim edges.

Then, for fun, move every single piece of (heavy!) furniture in the bedroom. Grunt a lot - you know, manly like. Survive without so much as a scratch or bruise.

Sunday: do laundry. Break a fingernail.

I'm certain the god(dess) of fingernails is laughing at me just about now.

This amused me because I named both my MS thesis and the PhD. The MS was called "Modred" - as in 'that bastard' - and the PhD was Grendel, the monster that must be slain.

Those were the top-level directory names on my workstations for those projects and at a certain point in the process no one was allowed to say "thesis" or "dissertation" to me. They had to be referred to by their proper names.

Music for today, and Friday

Load up the page and click the "Stream" link (just below the big black "DOWNLOAD" button). There's nothing here that's really blowing me away, but it's all good energy stuff.

On Friday we're going to see VNV Nation. Company would be welcome; I'm pretty sure tickets are still available. They do a hell of a show.
