a little light reading

Today is Prickle-Prickle, day 11 in the season of Discord, 3168.

It's unlikely, but does anybody have a copy of the second edition of "The Benchmark Handbook" by Jim Gray and Rick Cattell that they'd like to lend me? They've got PDFs of the chapters online, but I can't read that much material online without going insane.


[And now, thanks to spookycam and bunicula, I am seriously craving a Taco Hell bean burrito. Augh!]

I hope I manage to get some sleep tonight. Last night I was up until 1 watching the Oscars (who let Gwynyth Paltrow out of the house looking like that?) and then I woke up in the middle of an unpleasant dream at 5:30. Thought I was going to be late for work, until I realized that if it was still dark out there was NO WAY I was going to be late. Tried to go back to sleep for another 3 hours, but ended up right back in the same dream and woke myself up again at 6:30. I think sometime around 7 I managed to sleep again and had gotten into yet another dream when the alarm went off. Today was not the most productive of days.

rivka 's post about her user icons was fun, so I think I'll lemming and follow suit. ( cut so as not to swamp friends lists )
