This is not an update

This is a link for fans of mashups: If you haven't heard all the tracks already, check out The Best of Bootie 2006, a rather nifty-looking* collection of bootleg/mashup type tracks. Link via someone over in lunatunes.

Update later this weekend if I can manage to get myself to sit still long enough.


* I say "nifty-looking" because, as a dial-up user, I'm not actually trying to download everything there. What I've heard is fun, though.

The week as I remember it

Sunday: For the first time in ages, I managed to get to a morning church service. For the first time in even longer ages, I attended a communion service. It was good to get there for a change, though I was pondering the religious symbolism when I accidentally spilled grape juice on my hand. Less energy than I'd had the previous day, so I only walked about a mile & a half.

Monday: Received a package with goodies! There were a couple different kinds of Hershey's kisses, a couple different jams, a couple scented candles, a small first-aid kit which has already been useful for providing bandages, and some other stuff which escapes my mind at the moment. A few hours later, the rest of the mail came, bringing with it a letter which made me hyperventilate for a while. Spent most of the rest of the day checking and re-checking to make sure it said what I thought it said, had been sent to the correct person, and all that sort of thing. (Still didn't really believe it till my lawyer called to congratulate me.) Walked another 1.5 miles.

Tuesday: All I recall is that I walked 2.5 miles and regretted it.

Wednesday: Still tired. That's all I remember. Walked 1.5 miles at some point.

Thursday: No, seriously, what did I do all week? I really ought to keep a journal so I can remember this stuff, you know? There was virtually no walking of any kind. In the evening, went to Stitch & Bitch, where lyssabard learned that one good way to keep me occupied is to hand me a tin of pretty buttons to play with. Fun times with good company.

Friday: Reading, napping, talking to people. Walked more than the previous days, though I didn't bother to figure out exactly how far. Let's call it two miles.

Saturday: More reading. I hope I have enough energy to go do something. And I seriously hope I have the energy to be more interesting next week.

Books finished this week:
1. Diana Wynne Jones, Hexwood, a nicely brain-twisting novel I need to re-read someday.
2. Tom Wright, John for Everyone, part One, a bit of Bible study from a conservative, non-fundamentalist, Protestant scholar.
3. Heather Pringle, The Mummy Congress, nonfiction book about mummies through history and the people who love them. Interesting, though it could have used a bit better copy-editing (in a book where the word "desiccate" appears multiple times, it should not appear with multiple spellings).
