heat drain

capetonian weather - it's all over the place, and smells like rain even when the sun is out. i like it.

my eyes really hurt yesterday, and i had an outrageous headache that was most likely caused by not drinking enough fluids. i remedied that by overeating and drinking a lot, napping, and then working on my seminar.

dreams: in the first i was a soldier, in the second a drug runner, and in the third i somehow met with a trippy worm infestation that primarily hit my arms and chest. i'm not going into details, but it was pretty horrific.

i realized this morning that i haven't actually begun the main point of my seminar yet, so i'm going to work on the outline and then get into it as soon as i get home.

...

i walked out this morning all prepared with an umbrella, only to catch the last raindrop.

i met with one of the student union members and was surprised at how forthcoming he was concerning the creation of a student wiki. then i went to class, but i wasn't really concentrating although i'm pretty sure we learned some interesting stuff. i then returned to the student union to fight about class bookings, and came to work from there.

i've done what needed doing, and been engaged with the new job's basics. i've also managed to convince one of my decidedly intelligent co-workers to try his hand at software development, beginning with a project i've been meaning to get around to and that he believes in as well :)

received in the mail: a response to the methodist boycott on israeli products. it's pretty good, otherwise i wouldn't bother linking to it :P
