I've been running on empty, lately, so I took it far too easy on Tuesday and Thursday. It's still a bad sign when you're looking forward to going to work, because it's less tiring than all you've got to do in your spare time.

Still, things are chaotic at work, too. I work in a school, and it's September. But my writing's progressing faster than expected.

On Wednesday, I saw The Sound of Music for the first time. It was okay -- they all had great singing voices -- but I suspect it's one of those movies that has to be part of your childhood to be really liked.

Now, though, that goddamn goatherd song is lodged in my head (not worksafe unless your workplace specifically allows yodelling).

It's really bad. While I was reviewing government instructional videos for financial agents in elections, my brain was adding "The Lonely Goatherd" as a soundtrack.

Of course, I listen to the CBC, so hearing financial law recited to the sound of Julie Andrews yodelling is pretty par for the course. I think David Wisdom devoted a three-part series just to just that on his Sunday-night Pearls of Wisdom show.
