Around the House
Click on the thumbnail to the left to see the latest round of pictures of our house, taken on the most muggy, unpleasant day this month.
On Thursday, I had planned to go down to Capitol Hill for a briefing on Genocidal Rape in Sudan. Not a particularly cheery topic, although I have been curious (although that seems like the wrong word) about the issue for a long time--ever since I wrote a paper on women's human rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
But I didn't. Instead, I stayed up late reading the Harry Potter book, which--after being delayed in transit finally showed up in duplicate--and slept in the next day. Does that make me a bad person? Probably. On the other hand, I did make it down to the D.C. Women's Human Rights Action Team (part of Amnesty International) on Wednesday night, and maybe one human rights event a week is enough.
Anyway, I've now finished HP6--whose last 5 pages were incredibly stupid. And unlike the last time a new book came out, I am content to leave it for another couple of years, which I suppose is a good thing considering the writing of #7 has not yet commenced.
Now, I think I'll take a shower (once every few days seemes appropriate) and go pick up dinner for the family. With any luck, I'll also finish up some research for work (I've put aside THPON to work on boring corporate actions) and get a good night's sleep so that I can meet Ms. Elizabeth tomorrow for brunch and shopping with plenty of cheerful goodwill.
