(no subject)

I am still sick and still pissed off about it. On the other hand, I'm about 80% recovered, which is nice, especially since it means that I can say I probably didn't have swine flu. (it's been going around. I think it's only a matter of time, frankly.) (I went sore throat/congestion/runny nose/loss of voice/more congestion/cough, in about that order. One of my friends came up to me and was like, "I have what you have! Headache and achy bones, right?" and I had to break the sad news to him that he did not have a cold like me.)

Today was also the first day of fencing practice, which, &fencing;. I shouldn't have gone, in retrospect - it was a lot of jogging, calisthenics, stretching, and so forth and there was some not-so-okay breathing sounds happening by the end. but, &fencing;

In less sickly news, I went on adventure this weekend! Okay, it was not a very grand adventure, but there was live theater! A friend of mine, and fellow bitter mathematician, had heard about a show called Truth Values, which is an autobiographical show about a woman who left math grad school to go into theater. There was pretty much no reason not to go once we found out that the Arts Office would give us free tickets. (Of course, we had to go to the Arts Office to pick them up, which is staffed by very friendly, very enthusiastic women who wanted to tell us all about all the programs they offer.) I enjoyed it a lot - my favorite part of the show was when she talked about her Fashion Experiments, when she wore more and more outlandish outfits to work to see how badly her male colleagues would react. It runs one more week, and I would probably recommend it, if you're local and into that sort of thing.

Goddammit, I was going to post this entry and I was interrupted by the fire alarm. That would be annoying enough under normal circumstances, but we had a fire drill not two hours ago. >:(
