Life and rambling

Moderation is not my middle name. Still really obsessively focused on the work project, but wanted to do at least some linketies before my mailbox explodes.

Random notes: Caleb rocks. He's been working on painting my room. We're all loving having the Smithsonian channel (we dumped Cinemax and picked up Smithsonian, MGM, and a few others). It's pretty much perfect for those of us who get way too little time at the actual Smithsonian museums; they seem to have a bunch of shows that are basically tours of collections. Yay for that! Also, we're completely hooked on How The States Got Their Shapes on the History channel. Fascinating lens for looking at American history. I'd really recommend it to folks with kids who like educational shows -- along with another favorite of mine, How The Earth Was Made -- both are well organized to be kids' educational programming, and I'm surprised they're not marketed more in that direction. And I did see the Torchwood premiere last night, but I'll reserve comment until I've rewatched it without dozing through a chunk (it was 3am by the time we got to it). Grafton's also slowly recovering from the nasty bout of sciatica, which is really good to see. Also, my folks are coming to visit at the end of the month, and we're going to go to the zoo!
( crap, this really ended up needing a cut tag )
