Forgetting Dilbert

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

One year ago: Crisis Averted

I am just not TV-oriented these days. I took a nap when I got home from work, so nothing reminded me to go watch Dilbert at eight o'clock. Ah, well...

I feel like I'm getting a cold, but I hope it's one of those fast-traveling viruses that will be gone soon. My eyes were itchy today, and now my throat is sore, so if it keeps going at this pace I'll be over it by tomorrow evening. The bad part is the IQ-lowering effect: I feel groggy and stupid when I feel sick.

I finally updated the Seattle Cacophony Society page tonight, and posted the newsletter for February. This isn't the latest I've every done it, but it's close! luckily we didn't have an event scheduled last weekend.

We'll be performing the shadow puppet play, "Lincoln Sees His Shadow and Falls in Love," for the third time. It's one of the funniest things our group has ever created, I think! All February holidays rolled into one. It's listed on Yahoo so it consistently gets a number of hits per day, all year round, but it peaks around now. I hope no one confuses it with real history! Seeing that it's set during the period when the Romans had conquered the American Frontier, and it's narrated by George Washington's wooden teeth, probably that wouldn't happen.
