I did not go to the library yesterday, but I did shower. I did that while Scott and Cordelia were at the library which was probably not a great idea, but I was feeling nasty and couldn't stand to wait any longer. I almost slipped getting out of the tub, but that wasn't because of my bad foot/ankle.

Scott actually changed the sheets yesterday! I'm thrilled. It had been about seven weeks, and I like to change them every other week. It's just something that pretty much has to be done on the weekend. It doesn't take very long at all, but even ten minutes is more than Scott has in him most weeknights. Hopefully, in two weeks, I'll be able to help with the next change.

I'm wearing the brace instead of the boot this morning. I probably won't wear it for much longer. I want to work my way up to wearing it longer, but I think a couple of hours is about the limit right now before I go back to the boot.

I did a fair amount of link finding yesterday. Hopefully, that will mean I only need to do a couple of hours today and a couple of hours tomorrow. There's one blog I'm linking to a lot now (it covers shows I haven't seen anything for elsewhere-- The Returned, The Messengers, Forever, Olympus, and some others I'm forgetting) tends to do a long, detailed recap of each episode followed by a few paragraphs of meta analysis. I always wonder if people are going to be willing to slog through the recap to get to the meta or if they'll assume there isn't actually any meta to be had.

I'm also wondering about our policy for warning for spoilers. We don't have any clear guidelines as to what merits a warning, so I'm not really consistent about it. I am labeling all Age of Ultron reactions and analysis with 'warning:spoilers' because that's obvious, but what about a two week old episode of something like Supernatural? It's also often not clear to someone who doesn't know canon when meta draws on recent canon versus old canon, and I don't know most of the canons for which I find links. Right now, I'm trying to tag for spoilers if I know the post is talking about the most recent episode of a show, but I don't always know or remember. I'm less clear on what to do with books or games. Those seem to me to have a longer period for spoilers, and not everything is as clearly past its spoiler date as, say, Harry Potter. (Yeah, I'm not warning for spoilers for Harry Potter. That ship has sailed.)

Scott grilled some turkey last night and then forgot to turn off the grill until two or three hours later. He leaves the grill on a while after he takes the meat off in order to get it partly cleaned, so forgetting is easier than it might otherwise be. He also tried to grill some broccoli but concluded that broccoli is not well suited to the grill.

I'm trying to figure out, while listening to some CDs I've recently acquired, whether some songs are actually songs I like a lot or if they're simply songs I know well from my teenage years. It matters because I have a playlist of songs I really like a lot, and I'm trying to decide which of these songs I want to add to that. (The playlist in question is really, really big, something like 36 hours of music.) These songs are fun to sing, and I wouldn't mind hearing them frequently, but do I really like them? How to judge that?

If it was me, I think I would add the songs to my collection as a way of seeing if I like them, on the theory that you can always delete them if you change your mind later on.

I think I'll do that.

Basically, I sing along happily with things like YMCA and The Pina Colada Song, but I'm not sure they're favorites.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Likewise, I really like listening to the song "Jump" by Van Halen, so I have thought a lot about whether to add it to my music collection, but because of its subject matter I just can't.
