Wednesday

Happy middle o' the week, folks!

For those interested in the book publishing industry, this was an interesting article via the Freakonomics blog.

"People think of publishing as a business, but it's a casino."

Interesting.

A proponent of Intelligent Design gets passed over for tenure, and he cries discrimination. Since tenure isn't an automatic process, one has to be respected by one's peers to acquire tenure. His peers don't appear to like his output.

Wednesday

When taogrl asked me how my day was, I replied, "I felt like I was a candle in the wind, and I flamed-out about 2pm.

There are a number of reasons why this was so.
-up late on Sunday. Cause: finishing Civ IV game.
-up late on Monday. I was piddling about the domicile
-up late on Tuesday. Game night at Crepeville. Phase 10 was my waterloo.
-mind numbing reports and analysis today. I'll definitely need to rest my eyes soon, and yet I don't want to. Feh.

Tonight taogrl and I dined at Roxy Restaurant in Sacramento. It was quite good. We recommend the Pulled Pork Stroganoff with the Mascarpone and Potato Ravioli. Delish.

Roxy Restaurant has floor-to-ceiling windows that can be slid to the side to give an open-air effect for the restaurant goers. It was a gorgeous evening so pleasant and comfortable. Good conversation, good food, and two lemon drops. I'm ready for sleep.

And still, I am not. Silly Annie.
