Thursday
Day 1 of the four-day weekend. ::: bliss :::

  • I slept in. It was nice.
  • Slacked around for a few hours.
  • Went to lunch with Jess.
  • She went to work; I went to Adrian’s. Not only are we learning Linux, but he’s coaching me through electronics. It’s been… almost 10 years since I have done any work with this kind of thing. I spent the better part of the evening trying to get a couple of circuits to work. They finally did. I was pleased. Then, having gotten them to work as they were supposed to, I messed around and tried a few variations. “It was… fun.”
  • Came home.

Nooooo one expects the Spanish Inquisition a lack of story links!

However, since I did not listen to the radio today, that’s exactly what’s going here. Nothing. Nothing at all. You weren’t expecting that, were you?! That’s because …our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise….

However, for those of you who confess your heinous sins:

Cardinal Fang! Fetch THE COMFY CHAIR!

Tomorrow is Friday Pre-Saturday. It is also Mallday AND the Rush concert is tomorrow night. If that wasn’t enough, I still have two (that’s right: TWO) more days of unfettered freedom. And Craisins®. I have Craisins®. And tasty popped corn! And iced creams! Ahhh. Dr. Pangloss was correct: This truly is the best of all possible worlds.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms – Oh damn!

Peace.
