I read some of the Sixth Extinction! And I am alllllmost finished with Skunk Works. Didn't get to read Northanger Abbey, but did read an interesting article about the gaps in cannabis research knowledge in Nature and another about the problem of dog poop, which did its very best to use every possible non-profane synonym for "poop", in the Economist.

*giggling* And how many synonyms did they find?

[nanila]

I didn't count them up but I reckon it must've been in the double digits at least! If Economist articles were longer, there would've been more, I'm sure.

Tab count down to under 70 (from a high of 188) so I am calling it a (partial) win. \o/\o/\o/

tremendous amount of work!

[nanila]

That's a massive win! \o/

I read two volumes of Mercedes Lackey's Obsidian Trilogy. I don't even know how that happened.

Sounds like a brilliant, if unexpected, way to spend your reading time!

finished reading Monstrous Regiment to the bagusaii. Did not read anything on my intended list. Except many many pieces of the internet, as Yet Again I appear to have all the tabs open.

Much tab sympathy. My machine had to be rebooted the other day and I was very tempted not to restore my browser session when I started it up again...

I need to cull brutally. I just don't seem to make the right effort.

My Harry Potter convalescence re-read is going well. I've read the first three books and started GoF on Monday. Still a little bit snotty, but otherwise seem to be over my cold.

Huzzah for recovery from illness! Good luck with the continuation of the re-read.
