On Monday Leith rested. Again. <insert maniacal laughter here> One of those days where I sat and did computer work, watched tv and thought about extra-terrestrial technology and space exploration, wondering at the proverbial stars. Anastasia and I watched some Hercules when she got home and had Chinese for dinner.

Yesterday Leith rested yet again! After Anastasia came home we went out to Sam’s and Publix to get groceries and also briefly to Blockbuster to take back Donnie Darko and see about my application. The lady at the desk said that the manager in charge of that was reviewing applications presently. Back at the house we had Chinese leftovers and watched Stargate SG:1 (they have a marathon every tuesday of older episodes).

Not a lot today, did email and organised a few work things for back home. I watched documentaries about Mars and space and did some research on the internet about Martian exploration and manned trips. President Bush has just allocated NASA more funding for manned Mars missions scheduled for sometime after 2030, and plans for a Lunar base some time in the next decade or two. Not entirely frivolous research in light of my taking an Astronomy paper this year! I did some mass updating of my paper diary. I chilled out and talked with Anastasia in the evening, I’ll update my online version tomorrow and maybe try and go see the Blockbuster management guy about a job and plead my case in person, so to speak, make sure it all went through.
