My day, summarized:

1) trying to get heat block to get to exactly the right temperature is excruciating. As in boring. As in checking it every 30 seconds for half an hour kind of painful when you can't do anything because the metal thing was not yet at 80C.

2) being confused by PI: today's event included a discussion on the definition and types of juggling. According to him people do juggle chainsaws. Out side of cartoon. I don't know whether this was more or less strange than random quotations of Russian literature or even more randoms to teenage card games, but do know that I no longer cared.

3) Street and building (but thankfully not the indoor outlets for unit lighting) lights have all gone out at my end of the block. It makes this end of the street appear even more ghetto than usual. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find the keyhole in the dark. It was unexpectedly difficult.

4) I really, really despise the new e-bill layout from ATT, especially the pop-up windows. I wonder if it looks better for people using browsers other than Firefox.

5) ATLAS SHRUGGED is ...amazing. That courtroom scene made me realize that what a crowning moment of awesome really is, what with the 200+ pages of build up.
