alexpgpI had an indifferent night's sleep last night, waking early into a sort of fog, induced mostly by the subject of the current week's LJ Idol essay, What I “Should” Care About, But Don’t.
I was a little puzzled at first about how to go about the subject, wondering what on earth one should care about and not do so. It occurred to me, then, after two false starts last night, that the quotes around the word "should" were there for a reason. After that, the piece very nearly wrote itself.
Howsomeverwhichway, the two false starts have merit in their own twisted little fashion, which I might one day expand upon, but not now, as time grows short.
I have not gotten as far with my translations as I had hoped, but since Galina has arranged for a conference tomorrow morning with an exterminator, I figure I'll have an opportunity to catch up to where I want to be between now and when we actually leave. Still, the short list of to-do items on my white board are imposing enough, entailing some go-around-and-look-for-stuff activity, which is always a time sink.
Cheers...
