Goes My Heart\" ran through my head for about five days, pretty much nonstop (with occasional brief breaks for other catchy tunes, like \"Seasons of Love\" from <cite>Rent<\/cite>). I finally realized Thursday night that it had stopped running through my head, so of course I had to stop and try to remember the name of the song that was no longer running through my head, which of course set it off again. Sigh.<\/li>\n<li>(I heard about mysterious thing I can't talk about yet #1 on Monday.)<\/li>\n<li>Monday evening, watched more Horatio Hornblower with Naomi. This time, Our Boys spent much of the episode languishing prettily in a Spanish prison. If I were into hurt\/comfort slash, I would've been in paroxysms of delight. But even without the interest in H\/C, it was worth seeing.<\/li>\n<li>I totally failed to note the Spring Equinox as it went past.  That was Tuesday, March 20. Had I noticed it, I would have posted my usual spring-felicitations note; but since I didn't, I'll just point you to <a href=\"http:\/\/plantgirl.livejournal.com\/453197.html\">Twig's spring-verses entry<\/a> from last year, which includes the traditional Swinburne bit. \"For winter's rains and ruins are over\"--let's hope so, anyway.<\/li>\n<li>Got a chance to chat with Mary Anne, for the first time in a while.<\/li>\n<li>(Mysterious thing I can't talk about yet #2 occurred on the evening of the 20th.)<\/li>\n<li>Many more submissions arrived.  I think I neglected to mention here that we received 324 subs in February, which made it the fifth-highest-volume month ever; the only months with higher volume were the last four Januaries.  And it hasn't let up in March.  Monday of this week was one of the twenty highest-volume days ever, and it looks like March may end up being our second-highest-volume month ever.<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday morning, we launched the project I've been working on at work recently: the <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/apis\/picasaweb\/overview.html\">Picasa Web Albums data API<\/a>. You can now write client applications that upload photos to <a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/\">Picasa Web Albums<\/a> and\/or that request feeds of various sorts--a list of the user's albums, a list of all the tags associated with a given image, etc. Cool stuff.<\/li>\n<li>I spent a fair bit of time editing an upcoming story, though I still managed to be significantly later getting it done than would've been ideal.<\/li>\n<li>Spent way too much time composing a couple of posts in the SFWA election discussions.<\/li>\n<li>Received my tax-year-2005 refund checks.<\/li>\n<li>Watched the latest <cite>BSG<\/cite> episode with Kam. Heard that <cite>Dr. Who<\/cite> has been renewed for a fourth season, though season 3 hasn't yet started airing even in the UK. Or maybe it's just started? Not sure. Also heard that Sci Fi has ordered a full season 4 for <cite>BSG<\/cite>; they'd previously ordered only a half-season.<\/li>\n<li>Had a run-in with AAA customer service this morning; they'd lost all record of my having paid my renewal fee. Sigh. In the end, they discovered their mistake and agreed to straighten it out. I was already considering quitting AAA; this didn't make me want to stay.<\/li>\n<li>(I learned of mysterious thing I can't talk about yet #3 this afternoon.)<\/li>\n<li>Completely forgot about both the Kim Stanley Robinson reading and the Ray Bradbury satellite transmission in Redwood City. :(<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I imagine two of those mysterious items will be revealed within the next couple weeks.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend: editing; reading subs; possibly a trip to the Cow Palace to see patio furniture at the flower and garden show; a visit to the tall ships in Oakland on Sunday; maybe seeing firespinning in SF on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes, and sleep. I'd really better get started on that part.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The week just zipped past. Some assorted bits of it: &#8220;Pop!
