Jan. 19th, 2004

This week had good things bookend too much cold and not enough sleep (one night the dog was a pain, another I was feeling rotten). Last Monday, I got very welcome, very unexpected news at work. Yesterday, ( my football team won. )

Today I had off for the holiday, so I said "what the heck" and saw ( Return of the King—yes, again. )

I actually cooked this weekend, too. Saturday I made meat lasagna, which was tasty, but not as thick (height-wise) as I would have liked, so I think I'll look for a different recipe. Today I tried Mormon funeral potatoes (simple)—I didn't really know what it would taste like, but it was good, definite comfort food.

( Brief dog stuff )

Link things:

Cold snap pictures from the Boston Globe:
- "Biscuit, a snow leopard, examines an icicle at the Bronx Zoo"
- Billowing clouds of steam, with a small dragon in silhouette (no, not really)
Bubble wrap!
Best headline of the week (New York Times): Tests Suggest Scientists Have Found Big Bang Goo

I have a booklog post on The Silmarillion mostly done, but I'm stuck on articulating precisely why it pissed me off. Unfortunately, I'm pretty tired from staying up to watch sports highlights last night, so I don't think I'll make any progress on it tonight. Good night, everybody.
