*facepalm* NOLA.com's Twitter feed had a headline of "Mayor Mitch Landrieu not yet saying much about major fall races," which I managed to misread as "Mayor Mitch Landrieu not yet saying much about major racefail."

(I actually misread signs and headlines fairly often. Sometimes it's amusing.)

In non-robot related news, have finished S1 of Rome! Only slightly flawed by having my dad talk through the last five minutes of THE ENTIRE SEASON. I am a little annoyed by this. Must find S2 now! ...or possibly ruin the entire experience by trying to finish Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Actually, we need to finish watching S6 of Weeds and I am working my way through Prison Break (the prison break scene in Toy Story 3 is actually so much better than in Prison Break S1, I'll have you know) as background noise while working on The Novel with aella_irene, so neither.

In a week of classes, I have noticed that my ability to read new fiction and nonfiction (a.k.a. things I haven't read before) has utterly disintegrated, and I am left with reading cookbooks and sighing over the pretty pictures. (David Lebowitz? GREAT READING COOKBOOKS. No idea how it cooks up, though.) Also, my ability to write has disintegrated: also interesting. Slightly unfortunate, but at least it's only a six-week term and next weekend's a three day weekend. Anyway, I think I may have turned out more Dust in the past month than I did in the past year, so, uh, yay?

(The real question about Dust 21 is, "What happens next besides snark?")
