Yet another day off sick. Damned weekend. Started feeling it on Friday afternoon, thankfully after we'd returned from the ROM, but the whole weekend, and now into the week, I've felt craptastic. I suppose it's to be expected, a combination of burnout from this horrible winter, and going swimming in a public pool during the March break. What was I thinking?

And from the minutia you don't care about file: I thought I had broken the remote for the Wii last night, as I bounced it off our cat's head while attempting a backhand in tennis. I wouldn't work all last night after that, but this morning I checked it, and it seems to be okay. I love how modern technology will generally fix itself somehow if you turn it off and leave it for a few hours.

I'm reading Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe right now. It's a kind of primer for the layman on string theory, and it's quite good. I watched the documentary based on it, and it was very flashy, but the book is definitely quite a bit more advanced and deeper than what they went into on the show. Trouble is, I can't quite help but wonder how outdated it is, as it was written 8 years ago. I guess once I've muddled through this one, I'll have to read his sequel.
