In Which Ardith is Officially a Geek

Well, I got better. Mostly. Except for the cough that decided it wouldn't go away. Oh, well.

It was a fairly normal weekend: I saw some movies, I hung out with friends, and I slept a lot. Unfortunately, I'm still tired. It seems like I'm always tired now; I think it's about time for break again.

Oh, and I also read a lot of Frank Herbert. He wrote some good sci-fi, and I haven't even gotten to the Dune books yet. The Godmakers was great, as were Whipping Star and Destination: Void. I'm in the middle of The Dosadi Experiment and I still have The Jesus Incident to go. Each book seems fascinated with some philosophical construct. In Whipping Star, it's language, meaning, and communication. In Destination: Void, it's consciousness. Good stuff, definitely. It's also nice to have a little time for free reading again. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm enjoying it.

In other news:

I took the Nerdity Test, got a horrifyingly low score of around 45%, and promptly retook it. Much better. My score is now a semi-respectable 56.8% I think I can now sleep at night, knowing that I am truly a nerd.
