And just so you know, it was a very nice weekend. We got to see some friends down near stanford and went on campus to see some art, to wit:
Those were the Goldsworthy installation, which is massive and cool, though it’s sort of out in the middle of a field and poorly integrated into the fabric of the campus, if you ask me. That problem does not plague the Papuaian installations in an oak grove near the bookstore, engineering quads, and school of woodtrollery:
How did Zaq like it? Just fine.
A final note on the weekend before I go and get mr one-nap-per-day-now-regardless-how-zombified-i-may-look-at-
10:30-to-the-untrained-eye (he’s now in his crib repeating “upadow” with heartwrenching good humor):
me: (some self-assured pronouncement of fact)
k: great, now we have to figure out if he’s just making crap up again.
me: ahem! I’m right so often it’s embarassing!
k: well, you’re right about the embarassing part.
me: you see?!!
this promises to be a brutal, preoccupied, heavy, overstuffed week. I’m way over my head. I think I’d better move on to something less overtly unproductive. I’ve procrastinated as much if not more than I’m comfortable with. Thanks for enabling.
