4-day weekend

One happy side-effect of this obsession with an old German goddess that people have is a 4-day weekend for me. Yay \o/

So whatever shall I do....? I was thinking of

• playing with Continuity (like Seaside for Perl but not a framework)
• finishing the F.E.A.R. series, 3rd game in the pack I bought at home in the USA
• studying German [1]
• reading:
  • Evolution, a novel spanning 565 million years of human evolution
  • L'Aventure des langues en Occident, on the Indo-European languages
  • From Geometry to Topology, really well written (note: has a chapter on continuity (see above :) )
• working out (end of 4th week, still at it)

[1] Also: perl -e'for$i(1..4){for$j("01".."26"){`wget http://mp3.dw-world.de/dwelle/sprachkurse/english/eng-$i$j.mp3`}}'

German? Bah!

Try Mesopotamian!

The Germans likely borrowed her from the Greeks who borrowed her from the Persians.

Human evolved?

Wow, I missed the proof of that in science class. Let me know what the book says. ;-)
