Sooooo this has been an epically unproductive week, science-wise, though I have gotten a number of other things done. I have prepared two exams to be printed, proctored three exams, gotten one set of exams graded, made new Public Night tokens, and given a talk to the Undergraduate Astronomy Society.
And finally I am now, for the first time this week, attempting to do science! Multidrizzle is chugging away (I can't get away from it, seriously). And speaking of "finally", yesterday we watched the last two episodes of this season of True Blood and the first two episodes of the new half-season of Venture Bros. Both were very enjoyable, and between the two, as Nathan was getting his VCR set up (yeah, I know, I taped last week's Venture Bros, I'm so old school), I look up at the channel guide thing as it scrolls by and go, "Hey. History Channel is showing something called 'Sex in World War II'. I think we need to watch that first."
So we did. XD It was... informative? Though we only watched the last 30 minutes, which was apparently about prostitution in Hawaii during the war. Still, crazy stuff. I think I might actually like to watch the rest of the program, in fact, to see what else it talked about? (HEY IT'S FOR RESEARCH. KINDA. OR SOMETHING. Okay not really.) Speaking of World War II, I really need to get some more of Leckie's books. And finish reading Sledge's. And really, I might like a comprehensive history... which might be going back to that first bit, and just get more of Leckie's books. I think he did a complete history in addition to the few volumes just on the Pacific theater. Oh! And Sid's book. I wonder if that's out yet...
Big Bang Theory apparently starts up again tonight - I finished watching season 3 just in time, it seems, though watch, I'll probably forget to watch the new episode tonight. (I do, in fact, need to catch the season finale(?) of Unnatural History, which means hitting up the BitTorrent when I get home this evening.)
Also, I need to get new running shoes. Preferably today, so I can break them in before the half next Saturday. NEXT SATURDAY OMG. Um. I hope I'm ready for this.
Okay, I think that's it for now. We'll see how much longer I last here, but I'd really like to get the galaxy colors done for this last cluster so I can throw it on my giant histogram. /does work!
