Weekend Update

I didn't have a weekend, other than my one day off on Saturday. That said, Saturday was nice - the day was spent at Miller and Torri's house watching the last half of Season 3 of Lost to prepare for Thursday's premiere. The kids were really well behaved and super fun to play with. Sunday I had to work (boo).

Last night I watched a Jim Jarmusch film I hadn't seen before, Night on Earth and I loved it. The scene in New York is one of the best 20 minutes of a film I've seen in years. I'd recommend the movie if you like Jarmusch and vignettes.

Today I am in the midst of a half-day at work to compensate for all the extra time I've been putting in. I slept in, ran an errand, then ate brunch alone in a diner on Chicago Ave that I like. I read the Sun-Times and eavesdropped on all the tables of cops eating. It was really fun. Work's quiet today too, so thats nice. It almost feels weird to not be swamped.

My Women's Studies blog got linked by an influential librarian, so I'm hoping that helps increase the traffic a bit. It's almost been a month that I've been working on it, and have already finished one book, working on another, and beginning my third on Friday. I'm pretty proud of myself for that.
