Quick weekend recap, though:<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was a jaunt to the University District Street Fair for a few hours. Quite enjoyable, with a couple <em>very<\/em> entertaining shows by street performers, two of which are fairly well documented in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/362665\/\" title=\"2005 University District Street Fair\">this photoset from the day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On the way to the fair I spent some time wandering through Westlake Plaza, tracking down all of the various plaques that make up the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/362513\/\" title=\"Westlake Plaza Kids Walk\">Westlake Kids Walk<\/a> public art project. I&#8217;d been walking over them for a few years, now, and it was kind of fun to actually see if I could find them all. I <em>think<\/em> I did&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was spent at home, cleaning up the apartment a little bit. As I&#8217;d spent much of the past month battling a cold, over-stressed from long days at work, or both, things around here had fallen into a pretty sad state. It&#8217;s by no means spic-and-span now, but at least I won&#8217;t be completely embarrassed should someone show up &#8212; as, if all works out well, my mom will be on Wednesday! She&#8217;s in the midst of a trip to see friends down here in the states and has about a twelve hour layover here in Seattle, so she should be taking advantage of my proximity to downtown and the bus lines to rest for a few hours during the latter half of the work day, and then we&#8217;ll have some time to visit in the evening before she has to return to the airport. Yay!<\/p>\n<p>Rick stopped by for a few hours yesterday also, and ended up leaving with the first two Harry Potter books. He&#8217;s not read them yet, and has finally had enough people tell him that he should that he&#8217;d decided it was time. He mentioned this and that he was planning on buying them &#8220;at some point&#8221; &#8212; I decided that this wasn&#8217;t good enough, and handed him my copies of the first two to borrow to get him started.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, not much to report. I really do intend to write a bit more about Star Wars Episode III (though it&#8217;s rapidly becoming more of a moot point as more and more people see it for themselves), and I&#8217;m sadly behind on sending stuff to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steattlest.com\/\" title=\"Seattlest\">Seattlest<\/a>. My one-to-two posts a week completely disappeared last week, and I need to get back into gear on that &#8212; last week, I was a few days behind on my daily reading, and every time I saw something that I thought would make a good post, someone else more on-the-ball than I had beat me to it. I&#8217;ve got one post that I&#8217;m stalled on, too&#8230;last week just wasn&#8217;t my best for actually prying anything out of my brain.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully that&#8217;s over with, though. At the very least, there&#8217;s some nice bright sunshine outside of my window, it looks to be a good day (I hope work doesn&#8217;t muck that up too much), and I finally managed to catch up with my reading last night. If all goes well, I&#8217;ll be back on the ball this week.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, the day begins&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941.10000170&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iTunes\" border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"15\" src=\"http:\/\/images.apple.com\/itunesaffiliates\/logos\/iTunes_sm_bdg61x15.png\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;bids=78941.10000170&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\" \/> &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FsongTerm=Bitter End%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for 'Bitter End' on the iTMS\">Bitter End<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DSister Machine Gun%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for Sister Machine Gun on the iTMS\">Sister Machine Gun<\/a> from the album <em><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FalbumTerm=Metropolis%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for Metropolis on the iTMS\">Metropolis<\/a><\/em> (1997, 5:20).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still alive, still here, just haven&#8217;t been very talkative.
