(no subject)

For the sake of not starting off with a rant about the state of my shoulder, I will start off by saying that last night I bought the last Terry Pratchett book (The Shepherd's Crown) on the way home from work, got home, curled up on the sofa with it and a pint of cherry tomatoes, and proceeded to read it in three hours. Not his best book, but as the afterword said, he never thought he was done tweaking a book and he couldn't get done tweaking this one. Worth reading, though.

I'm debating whether I want to go see Black Mass when it comes out. I wasn't living in Boston when Whitey Bulger was, and I don't usually like that sort of movie, but something about this one interests me and I'm not sure why. Possibly because it's Johnny Depp, who I would really like to see doing something that doesn't depend on him being handsome (Public Enemies), erratic (Pirates) or weird (Sweeney Todd).

Long weekend coming up. Hooray! I probably shouldn't be saying that already, since I did have two consecutive weeks of vacation two weeks ago. But I needed more weekend than I got last weekend. And the project I'm trying to update is driving me mildly insane. Last year I assigned a "content level" between 1 and 5 to every lecture in the curriculum blueprint. But some of the courses have changed a bit this year and I'm now going back and trying to do the content levels over again, and disagreeing with myself, and probably mislabeling new lectures because I disagree with myself about the old ones. The answer is most likely "stop caring so much", but perfectionist that I am, it bothers me.

Oh, I so don't want to argue with anything else any more today, but it's only 1:45, so I guess I'll have to.
