mortant, feet to chief (1).
Friday, 15 May 2009 08:55 amAt home ill today, on the grounds that this bug is exhausting me sufficiently that I have no impulse control, and there's going to be a nasty Student Biting Incident any moment2. Friday is our nice cleaning lady's day, which is non-ideal for rest purposes. However, our joint presence has allowed me to realise that once she's plumped the sofa cushions she puts the Shadowing Lemma (the giant stuffed rainbow-coloured "leopard" visible here) onto the back of the sofa upside down and with all four feet in the air. I don't know if she's failing to register the animal shape in the admittedly fairly amorphous and impressionistic construction, or if she's actually perpetrating a rather realistic and lifelike imitation of Golux in her classic "cute" pose.
In other news, my Wednesday evening was surprisingly enlightened by a sudden rain of spam. Over a thousand bounce messages to my inbox in the space of about an hour and a half, from a variety of unlikely organisations, all telling me that the address to which I had attempted to send a message (which I did not, in fact, send) did not, in fact, exist. I'm not sure if someone plugged my address into a spam shot, or if someone briefly hacked and zombied the server which sends my mail, or if a random student email or memory stick transfer in fact gave me a virus in defiance of a plethora of anti-virus widgets, but I was Not Happy. Any suggestions? Is there anything particularly virulent and high-profile around at the moment that this could be? can I expect to find myself on anti-spam blacklists the world over?
In other other news, it bucketed with actual, real rain all night and is still somewhat damp in all directions. I'm feeling pretty crappy, but surprisingly happy.

1 Heraldry humour. Sorry.
2 A common academic danger which today's Girl Genius rather niftily dramatises. Memo to self: giant striding robot with death ray.
