I seem to be at risk of communicating by polls again. Dodgy hands don't help; it's better than during the week but not perfect yet.

On Wednesday I pushed my swimming up to 40 lengths, which meets or (I think) exceeds everything I've done since I started. On the one hand I'd like to go more than once a week (or at least, feel it would be a good idea to do so), on the other I'm having trouble figuring out where best to fit it in. Anyway we came 3^rd, IIRC, in the quiz later the same evening. Karate on Thursday contained some new stuff, which was interesting; and some stuff we'd done before, which I repeatedly got wrong despite having got it right during grading; and injuring a reader of this journal, for which I can only apologise, though they seem to be OK now.

More B5 on Saturday afternoon, then off into town to meet up with lethargic_man and livredor, which made for an interesting conversation about interactive television and strange ancient creatures. (Think whales with vestigial legs; unusual nervous systems; etc) Then to sphyg's party, where I had a great deal of gin, talked to many nice and interesting people (which on the evidence available I have to presume is the only kind she invited), played games involving rather precarious constructions, and gathered second-order gossip.

Finished off the week at work with a bunch of comments on some documents I've been reading, and getting some barely welcome bug reports. (They're entirely correct, it's just that I'd been mistakenly under the impression that the things they related to would have been tested before.)

I seem to be at risk of communicating by polls again.

I was trying to find a tactful way of asking if those polls might not be better served by being posted to a custom filter, but couldn't find a good way of saying, "I want to hear about you, not read polls."
