An odd night

I can only imagine it's my exotic body chemistry doing a bit of post-viral shakedown, but I had the wierdest night last night/this morning.

Resolution Retrospective

I had a look at what passed for my 2008 resolutions list just now, and was pleasantly surprised to see that I'm on track for quite a few of them. Others, not so much (sorry garden).

Why today? Um, it's 8+8/08/08?

How are you doing with yours?

On comfort reading

I am currently--and without notable success--beating off Lois McMaster Bujold with a stick. I am halfway through have finished The Vor Game having taken a side trip into The Mountains of Mourning to maintain the chronology. I've read them all before but cannot put them down. I am addicted to comfort reading.

Where do you find literary comfort?

Lunar eclipse tonight

Or rather, in the early hours of tomorrow morning (Perthites). Hmmm, do I want to wake myself up at 4am? In theory, sure.

Anyone else have skywatching plans? Moonrise was particularly pretty this evening.

Die Hard 4.0
