update

I'm back (again).

Thanks to lyceum for making the last leg back far more pleasant than usual.

I finished Warped Passages, Lisa Randall's popular physics book, read most of the 2006 Best American Science and Nature writing, which had essays such as "The Coming Death Shortage" and "My Bionic Quest for 'Bolero'" and "How Antibiotics Are Killing Us", plus essays on animals doing business, the insufficient number of autopsies we do, and Francis Crick, and am almost done re-reading Lud-in-the-Mist, and am no longer surprised that anima liked it as much as she did. I watched the first DVD of Princess Tutu, which grew on me. Harper's had an article on the Army's new counter-insurgency manual.

Well, that's one way of looking at the week.
