I've been busy today working on editing a paper. It turned out to be a nice day weather-wise, and I would've liked to have left the house, but besides the paper I was also doing laundry as usual for Sunday. I probably should have put that off for a while just to have had the short walk over to Caffe Ladro. But then, it didn't really get nice until later in the afternoon, at which point I was already halfway through the laundry and started on the paper, and I didn't want to interrupt any of that.
I also haven't been out for a bike ride in over a week; I'm not getting out for rides as much as I wanted. That's partly because during the week I tend to head out for the afternoon to do work, and although it stays light out well into the evening, by the time I'm getting home I'm thinking it's time to make dinner. One thing I need to do is figure out how to use the carrier rack I had installed on my bike; I need bungie cords or something to strap down my backpack with my computer in it. Then I could ride the bike out somewhere to work. I could just wear the backpack but it's kind of heavy with the laptop and whatnot in it, and that would make me even sweatier by the time I got somewhere to work.
And you know, I'm really sick of the way Safari hangs all the time when I'm running Parallels as well. I presume my combination of RAM and graphics card just isn't quite enough to handle things, but really Safari does seem kind of bloated and slower than it ought to be. I persist in using it because I like it otherwise and I like that my bookmarks are synched between my two Macs and my iPhone through my MobileMe account—that feature better not be going away with iCloud—but it does irritate me a lot.
I don't have plans for the holiday tomorrow. I'd really like to be hanging out with friends and having fun, but I never asked anyone ahead of time what their plans were, and no one got in touch with me to see what I was up to, either. On the other hand, I'm probably still going to have work to do, and I certainly have a bunch of other projects to tend to, so maybe it's better that I have some time to do things.
Speaking of doing things, time to get back to editing that paper.
