I woke up this morning feeling awful. Mostly my back and shoulders were hurting, thanks to biking yesterday, but I was also feeling generally blah. As a result, I had a pretty lazy day. A little reading, a little TV, a little music. I did manage to fill out two job applications, which was on my to-do list for the day, so I feel like I accomplished something. (I really hate job applications. They're so tedious. I end up filling out one section, then I have to get up and wander the house for a bit.)

Good news today, though! My aunt went to the oncologist and was officially declared cancer free! We went out and bought a bottle of wine to celebrate. :D

And finally, cause I'm still digging the Olympics: Language Log reports that Christine Ohuruogu won the 400m in Beijing, "hence becoming the first British woman with a linguistics degree to win Olympic gold at this distance." Linguistics and the Olympics. Yesssss.

ETA: I saw the race on TV later, and after hearing the commentators pronounce it, I think Ohuruogu is a really awesome name. It's just got a really great sound.

Thankfully none of mine have asked for previous addresses. I think I'm on number five in just the past year... if I had to take it back five years that'd add three more! I don't even remember all of them. Stupid itinerant student lifestyle!
