The taiko show tonight was really cool... One of the main guys alternated between looking really serious and grinning maniacally. It's hard to tell which was scarier... But he looked like he was having a good time, and he was making awesome music, so it's all good.

Went over to Mertz afterwards and hung out with Robert, which was nice. Yay for friends.

I'm going to try to go to bed at a decent hour tonight, then try to wake up at a decent time tomorrow (i.e. 10), maybe do some work, and then deal with the BBQ stuff. I'm worried that it may not go off super-smoothly, but I guess we'll see.

I wish my papers would magically disappear. Taking this two days off has reminded me just how much I don't want to do work. *sigh*
