The tattoo seems to be healing well. It hardly stings at all anymore, and it's starting to itch. I seem to recall that's a good sign. I was surprised to find that my neck and shoulders were really sore yesterday. I'm thinking that's probably from spending three hours with clenched fists, all tensed up & trying not to move. However, I'm feeling close enough to normal today that if I had to go back tomorrow for another session, I think I could do it. So I guess once a week will be fine.
I read the new Harry Potter book, enjoyed it a lot. It was a page turner, I read it too fast to really absorb the details. I'm going to read it again, probably over the weekend, and maybe post some comments after the second run through.
Been working all day on that intranet I mentioned earlier in the week. I'm happy with how it looks, though it still needs some polishing before the client reviews it at 3 tomorrow. (Actually there are a couple of major gaps in the code, but there's nothing I can do about that except pester the programmer and hope he finishes in time. So to be more accurate, my portion of the project needs just a little polishing.) I'm going to try to get that done tonight so that I don't have to worry about it tomorrow. Also so the programmer is free to work on any file without any danger of us accidently overwriting each others' work.
There's a new barbecue place in Durham, The Q Shack, run by Scott Howell (of Nana's and Pop's). It's remarkably non-snooty and unassuming, considering. I haven't eaten in the restaurant myself, because there is not a single side dish that works with low-carb -- it's all hush puppies, mac and cheese, french fries, etc. And I'm not doing the kind of low-carb where you eat a big plate of meat and call it a meal. I mean, that's just gross. Anyway, the Q Shack does take out, so tonight Georg brought home beef brisket and smoked turkey and we made some vegetables to go with it. The turkey is very good, but the brisket is out of this world. Really amazingly good.
It's Bollywood night again on TCM, the last one in the series. Alas, tonight's offerings look to be a lot less fun than in previous weeks. They're all early films and from the descriptions, all sound really depressing. Like what if Satyajit Ray did musicals. I'm sure they're all excellent, important films, but I don't know if I'm up for a three-hour tragedy, much less three of them. Well I'm going to give the first one a try and if it's too much of a downer, I'll finish watching Junglee or maybe Gumnaan.
