Aside from vaguely wishing all day that today was actually next Friday, when I’m off from work and going to the spine doctor…and vaguely wishing that I didn’t feel the need to go to the spine doctor at all, frankly…today was a pretty ordinary day.
I spent it doing pretty much what I’ve been doing all week: working on this stress management and prevention textbook, by trying to get professors to take a look at chapters, looking at the chapters myself, and wading deep into stock photo websites for the images I still haven’t found samples for. The images run a wide gamut, from yoga and rock climbing, to skin disease and prison camps. At one point this morning, I had two tabs open in my browser, one with photos from Auschwitz, another with a review of Katherine Heigl’s new movie. (Okay, the review was me goofing off.) I’m not trying to make a joke about that; it was just a weird moment, a strange dichotomy of sorts. Even weirder when it was pointed out, via Twitter, that Heigl starred in an episode of The Twilight Zone where her character travels back in time to kill Hitler. (Presumably by acting shrill and disapproving of the whole Third Reich.)
Hey, it was a long day.
