I think the whole family is sick of this Oregonian flu or whatever it is.  I'm certainly sick of feeling like somebody is shredding my throat with a box grater every time I swallow. 

Alex didn't fall asleep last night until like 2am this morning.  He just rolled around in bed for like 3 hours kicking and singing.  So we're all doggone tired this fine morning.  I'm at work so naiad8 has the sole job of keeping a tired, sick, and sleep-deprived 4-year awake until 8pm so he'd go back to a normal schedule.  Ugh.

AncientScripts-wise I'm working on the Kalmyk-Oirat script.  It's an offshoot of the Mongolian script.  It's actually an alphabetic script but it's written like Chinese in vertical columns.  It's quite interesting. 

Top Chef season 4 has started.  Yay!  Looks like this year they got some really good talent.  And a good geographic spread too: San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and even a New Zealander dispensing marmite in pizza!  Plus the juicy stuff.  A lesbian couple.  Fauxhawks.  And too many egos.  Should be a really cool show.
