A brief summary of my day (for the benefit of 27th century historians)

You know what sucks? When you've just watched the first episode of a really good anime series and the second episode's been pulled from YouTube because it's illegal or some such nonsense.


Not much time or energy tonight (not that I ever have either of those) so I'll make this quick.

I tried proper driving for the first time today, doing some simple lessons at an off-road place. Nothing hugely interesting but it alleviated some fears I have had ever since I tried go-karting and utterly failed. To be fair, my nervousness that time had some justification: the boiler suit I was given had a large, singed hole at the elbow.

I also watched Genesis of the Daleks for the first time today. I've not finished it yet but it seems to be living up to its reputation as one of the finest serials of its era. Unfortunately, I saw most of it with Sam and Erin and the whole thing devolved into a series of fights, sparked by their desire to fiddle with all the stuff on my desk and Dymo label everything and my desire to stop them.

Also, the downward scroll on my Mighty Mouse has gone again. I suspect that whatever dirt is in there is either to tightly wedged to come out with a simple clean or that the mechanism is faulty and prone to easily failing. Either way, I want a new mouse and I'm not stopping until Apple tech support give me one.


That's pretty much everything that's happened to me today. It has, all in all, been rather enjoyable. I will definitely have a woodle up tomorrow since the first week of the holiday is over. I define this as the "goofing off period" and thus, after it, I can no longer justify goofing off.

In theory.
