I finally finished Pratchett’s “The Color of Magic” – I read the second half of the book in one weekend. Overall, I liked it, especially the second half but I’m not really inspired to pick up other Discworld novels. To me this book seemed to be a cross between Douglass Adams and the Princess Bride. On to “Stardust” next. Hopefully, I’ll have more time to read it.

My computer occasionally cooperates, even as I have to hold it steady sometimes, but I did manage to put together mysticism lecture for tomorrow with Powerpoint. But I did get frustrated with it in the evening and went to edit my History Big Bang story on my parent’s computer. I still need to write about 3,000 words but I think I can make it to deadline.

Happy Birthday, Papa!

He worked from home today so I was able to pull his ears (a Russian thing) and hear how he liked his presents. I got him a non-fiction book he wanted, a radio with headphone and the first Discworld book (which I plan to steal...borrow…after Christmas).

I did my last lecture for Global class on European expansion and it was my last lecture of the semester. Yay. Now I just have to do gazillion paper grading.

Some kids can’t present their work at all. My history of law class today was a little weird. Some students did a great Powerpoint about their research and some just stood there and read and weren’t making it exciting.

After I got home, we had a birthday dinner for Papa, just the three of us. Mama made olivier salad – the tastiest thing ever and a regular salad too. And we had a poppy seed cake Papa bought in the Russian store – it was his favorite.
