Last Wednesday: Got a request from Mara to run dance practice again. Did so the previous week because she wasn't going to be available (and knew about it in advance). This time, she was just plain under the weather, so wrote to me on Wednesday morning. The result didn't work as well as last week, since I didn't have much time to plan (and the poor weather seems to have resulted in a relatively small and tired dance practice all around), but it went okay.
Re-introduced Burgundian Basse Danse -- recent conversation with

It was interesting when
Afterwards, assorted geek conversation: the initial discussion of the show quickly segued into a computer-game discussion somehow. Found out that Thief III is out. I'll have to get that, and use it as an excuse to finally play through the first two games. (I played a number of assorted levels of the original games while we were writing them, but have actually never played either one clear through. For that matter, I've technically never played System Shock II all the way through, although I'm pretty sure I hit every major part of the game while I was debugging it.)
Monday: Went over to
Afterwards, we went downtown to the Aquarium, which I haven't been to in a number of years. Very cool stuff, especially the new jellyfish exhibit. When they're behind glass, I can appreciate the alien beauty of the jellies without getting as creeped out as I was seeing them washed up on the beach in Florida. They have a number of species in the exhibit, although it is punctuated by Moon Jellies every 20 feet or so.
Tuesday: Nominally Accademia, but that fizzled.
