Never again am I eating an entire Pizza Shuttle pizza in one sitting. Was up for most of the night, doing very little constructive. I did some fonts done (more on that later), but my mind was too fried to do any real work on the one project that needs doing ASAP. Gah.
Worse, just when I'm getting to bed at 3 am, I hear the distinctive tinkle of the birds' swing-perch, which is big enough to not ring unless it's being significantly moved, which means the birds were freakin' out and having a night-fright. Just when I think Moosie's done bouncing around the cage, I open it to take him out and comfort him when Moosie decides to freak out! yet again (I'm not very bright, you see) and there's two birds circling the room, one landing in the halogen lamp and another completely missing and silent. Takes me a few seconds to fish Muffin out of the lamp before he gets burnt and find Biscuit who's landed behind the kitchen computer and is baffled and panicked. I was worried most about poor Moosie, who seemed kinda dazed afterward, but checking on him now he's on his perch and moving around, so he's okay. Actually, they're all pretty kinetic this morning. Unlike me.
Got a phone call from one of the faculty this morning who wanted to know what the symptoms were of having a virus and I swear to God it took me thirty entire seconds before I realized that he didn't mean a biological virus. But he's worried that he does have a virus on his home computer. Difficulty: it's a Mac. Hey, it's not impossible.
Watched Much Ado About Nothing for the first time since seeing it in the theater. Yay for Phyllida Law and Imelda Staunton! Is it criminal to have them have so little to do in a movie with so much Keanu Reeves? (I still maintain, all evidence to the contrary, that the poor child can act. I'm sure I saw it somewhere, once. But in this film? He can't even pull off a one-dimensional antagonist.) Also, that is Kate Beckinsale. Huh. And dammit that Denzel Washington doesn't get more Shakespearean roles; he manages the enunciation and the emotion with the absolute best of them. Maybe I liked Michael Keaton as Dogberry the first time around, but not so much anymore, and I don't know why. (God, that first scene of his was awfully dubbed.) And all hail Brian Blessed. (Branaugh/Thompson are as they always are, and as they always should've been. I'm in no hurry to finally sit through Hamlet.)
Tonight: 300, I think. Though the "dining in hell" bit was obviously more apropos last night.

Poor fids. Glad you were able to get them calmed down.

Ah yes, fair Hero. The beautiful Kate before she bolted those cantaloupes on her chest. What a shame now.
I own it and I think I watched it again sometime last year. Thanks to you, I'll have to watch it this week. Currently, I'm catching up on BSG via Netflix. I only started watching the show this last season, so during the last week I've seen the miniseries and season one: disk one. Much Ado will be good filler while waiting on shipping turn around.
