Welcome to Monday! Line forms over there for propellor beanies and other visible signs of insanity.

This weekend was better than the last one. On Saturday we had lunch with friends, and Hillary got rid of two of her old computers, which made the recipients happy to have computers at all and made Hillary happy to reclaim the space said computers had been taking up. Other than that, I didn't do a whole lot, except ignore my laundry and buy kitty litter.

Yesterday my parents came up to visit, and brought me a book I had wanted to borrow at Christmas but forgot to mention. It's called "The Thieves' Opera", and it's about the general state of lawlessness in 18th-century London, and about two criminals in particular. Fascinating stuff. More about history in a minute. Anyway, my parents were quite taken with the kittens, and it was a good visit in general. After they left I finally started doing laundry, and got two loads washed and one load mostly dry before we went out to dinner at Liz and Matt's. We hung around there for a while after dinner, and got romped at by both rabbits, and in general had a pretty low-key sort of night, which was good. Came home, put sheets back on the bed (enthusiastic "help" provided by all three kittens), and went to bed.

Musings on history... )</lj-cut
