Stuff that's not about work.
Which is not a lot, honestly. I've had kind of a one track mind lately.
In any case, I am home from work today. Reason 1: husband was sick yesterday. Head-cold-y thing, mostly. And this morning I woke up with a fever and a huge headache. So. Not chancing anything. Reason 2: I take the morning shift for feeding the cats, which is generally 7am. Mim decided she was going to be more of a busybody that usual and dart under my feet while I was shuffling about the kitchen. I dodged her twice, but the third attempt sent me flying right into the wall to avoid stepping on her, so now I'm pretty sure I have a sprained toe. At the very least it's too tender to stand on all day today, and so I am icing it and will probably need to tape it during rehearsal Thursday.
In any case, the docket for today: snoozing some more, taking a cool bath and catching up on Caprica, and then watching the Bollywood flick
marinatempest lent me but I've been too busy to watch.
Oh! And! I know that I was talking up Spartacus as not good, but compulsively watchable (if you have a high threshold for all things gratuitous). After the last two episodes, I am considerably less pleased with the show, to the point where I pondered stopping watching because two of the things that I really liked about it sadly went the way of predictable TV tropes and lazy writing. In any case, there's a hilarious (and also totally NSFW) primer for the show up athradzka's journal. Also a spoilerific write-up that hits the nail on the head of exactly why I hated eps 6 & 7 so much.
