Jasmine, Flailing

005The jasmine started blooming today! Sweet plant, tough as nails.

I got a tooltips example to run by minor brute force and finally gave up on bower. What a nuisance, this tutorial notwithstanding. Setting PATH was ridiculous. I ended up having to edit the registry because it exceeded 1024 characters.

Feel like I wasted the day. Haven’t even read the NYTimes biz section yet.

I did take about three hours to listen to and read along with the New Bedford Whaling Museum’s Moby Dick marathon. An excellent use of time, come to think of it. I enjoyed the experience thoroughly, first time venturing into the book. Followed along a bit last night as well, especially Chapter 40. It gave me a small insight into Melville’s genius, both literary and psychological.

We’ve skipped all the live music planned for this weekend: Wepecket, Higher Ground, WHFMS.

Did the transfer station run. Quite a bit of recycling and trash today. The transfer station was quiet, mercifully.

Day 5 and Ron still feels miserable. I’m getting the idea that whatever he caught isn’t the same bug I had. He’s promised to call the doc if he’s not better by Tuesday.

Season 4 of “Downton Abbey” starts tonight!

Watched the fourth quarter of one of the best football games of the season, San Francisco versus Green Bay, played in 3 degree weather.
