Friday, glorious Friday! It’s just amazing out there right now – mid-70’s with a good stiff breeze. The front’s supposed to come in later today bringing with it rain and temperatures into the 30’s, more January-like than anything we’ve had for the last few weeks. It’ll be a welcome change, though.
(Completely pointless aside: I have commaphilia. This is, of course, the tendency to put commas all over the damn place whether they’re kneaded or not. I usually try to edit out the extraneous ones, but if you see any extras please pretend they’re hyphens or maybe (just for fun) an interrobang.)
Hmmph. I always knew I was a frustrated English major. Silly me, I wanted a degree I could actually make money with (dodges thrown objects from Liberal Arts majors everywhere 🙂
It’s been a quiet week in Holly Springs…no wait, that opening belongs to someone else. Anyway, we’ve been doing the married-folks-at-home thing a lot this week, so just to be different we’re getting some of the gang together and going to San Remo’s for dinner tonight, followed by either a show at Six String Cafe or chatting at the Paradigm Coffee House. In general, a nice, low-key kind of night that gets us out of the house.
I’m a bit concerned about Takaza. He’s had a headache pretty much nonstop since Sunday, and headaches aren’t supposed to do that. By all the symptoms, I’m strongly suspecting a sinus infection. He’s got an appointment with the doctor this afternoon, which makes me feel better. I love my wolf, but he’s mighty stubborn sometimes 🙂
Plans for this weekend include another nice, lazy day tomorrow; maybe I’ll even get motivated and do my taxes, since I’ve got all the forms in hand now. Sunday should be a nice, though chilly day. Another great day for a hike, I think – I’ll see if anyone is interested at dinner tonight.
Enough of my scattered prattle. I’ve got to head back to work and go make some coatings, yay.
Oh, by the way – The News and Observer had an interesting interview with the president of Lord Corporation (my employer) where he talks about the neat stuff we do. It’s a good interview, and he even mentions some of the products I’m working on. Cool!
Bleah. Hope Taki’s feeling better soon. Headaches are no fun, and the sinus infections I’ve had have turned into time-consuming hobbies before they were over.
By the way, there was an interesting article on msnbc’s site on how TiVo-like devices haven’t been catching on despite the love and devotion they inspire in those who have them. Sounds like some price drops are on the way. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before I can convince myself to get one as a time-saving device to make me more efficient, organized, and an all around better member of society. 🙂
