Monday. Morning.

1. The morning began with me being earwormed by the theme song from "Candid Camera". It finally left, pushed out by the old (pre-ad ban) jingle for Kent cigarettes. This is not an improvement.

2. LiveJournal is misbehaving again, albeit mildly. Every time I enter the site, I get an immediate "page reset while loading" message; hitting "Try Again" resolves the problem. Mild, but seriously annoying.

3. It's the last week of classes, and I'm starting to panic. In the next two weeks I have to write up one peer observation, make and write up another, shepherd my Senior Project student through his presentation, finish packing up my office, write and grade two finals, come up with a unifying idea for my other Senior Project student, begin planning for one of my classes next semester (one which I haven't taught in years, and which has a different clientele than most of my classes), get the toilet in the main bathroom fixed, find a dogsitter for the holidays, buy my plane tickets for the holidays, et cetera ad insanitatem.

4. In the midst of all this, the part of my mind which organizes things wants to put together a database for tracking the progress of my Skyrim characters. I have been mostly successful in suppressing it, but I'm letting it design one small and self-contained piece - three tables, one form.

Weather

The forecast high for Wednesday is 63F. The forecast high for Thursday is 32F, with a 30% chance of snow.

Gah.

Pride Goeth Before Destruction...

It's inattention that goeth before a fall.

On the way home from the bus stop this evening, I fell to musing on the Mamas & Papas album that's next up on the review queue. This distracted me just a bit too much; as I was stepping up onto a sidewalk, the tip of my right shoe failed to clear the curb. I was completely off-balance before I had a chance to react, and went down on hands and knees. No faceplant, fortunately, but I skinned the palms of both hands (considerable abrasion, but no bleeding) and bashed my right knee. I think there's a little swelling there. I also may have put some torque on my left biceps; it's giving me twinges, which I suspect will be more than that come morning.

I think I'll take a hot shower before going to bed. Maybe that'll help some.
