alexpgpToday's gig was pretty straightforward. I got "stuck" with the bulk of the work :^), since the weekly crew planning conference took place while I was the "hot" interpreter.
I should be out of here in about 15 minutes or so. Then it's off to home (maybe I'll stop briefly on the way, I haven't decided yet) to do some more translation, and get some kind of leg up on packing. I should probably call Galina and find out if she wants me to bring anything home (there was empty space allocated for this in my check-in bag on the way down here, methinks).
I'm a bleeding idiot for overcommitting on translation work, but my only excuse is the burned feeling I still have from the drought earlier this year (plus, if the Kazakhstan gig hadn't materialized while I was down here, you really couldn't say I've overcommitted). The checks for the good month I had in April are only now starting to come in, and I did manage, despite everything, to have a couple of restaurant meals and watch a first-run movie while I was down here.
(I get the feeling I started the preceding paragraph saying A, and spent the rest of the paragraph justifying not-A.)

bandicoot notes that Henry Waxman, a Congresscritter from the Left Coast, recently made an interesting statement:“That someone is so fearful that they’re going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, makes me very nervous that these people have these weapons at all!”Mon Dieu! What astonishes me is my failure to be astonished. (If the quote makes sense to you—if you agree with Waxman—replace the word "weapon" with the word "vote" and let the result roll around on your tongue for a while.)
Time to split.
