I've been swamped at work this week. I have to deal with a bunch of lawyers plus it's the week before a software release. So yeah, it's a bit crazy around here. On top of it all, a lot of people are on vacation. Which means less people to work on the release. For some reason I don't feel any panic right now, but come next Monday night I hope we're not in the sh*t (as Gordon Ramsay is so fond of saying).
And, oh yeah, I absolutely adore BBC America. Three of my favorite shows are on it: Top Gear, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, and Last Restaurant Standing.
Absolutely no progress on AncientScripts. The weekend went away like the Road Runner escaping the Wile E Coyote. You blink and you'd miss it.
And finally, here's the picture of the day from Kilauea, Hawaii. The crater at the summit, Halema'uma'u, has been steaming for a week but then last night it started to emit ash and even small amounts of lava. If it goes into full eruption at the summit with a lava lake, I need to get myself a ticket to Kona.

I hiked across Kiluaea when I was 10. I thought we were going to hike over some rickety bridge with lava spewing underneath. Halfway across, I asked when we would get to Kiluaea and my parents told me we were on it. I freaked out because I noticed the steam...but I calmed down a bit. I wish I knew where those pictures were. We were the only ones there too.
I'm afraid of heights myself. So for me peeking over the edge of the crater often gives me a bit of fear mixed with excitement. It's certainly an interesting feeling.
It's Friday!
Thanks to the writers strike, I delved more into the BBC America shows, and now I don't miss what I used to watch.
BBC shows just seem higher quality for some reason. Although I couldn't get into Footballers' Wives. Just too trashy.
