Pleasant evening last night at the Burren with some folks, some of whom have livejournals, most of whom don't, or if they do they haven't let on, the secretive bastards. Overlooked an opportunity to get jackdaw a pre-birthday drink. Oops.

The weekend is intended for productivity. There are three social things I could do tonight, two of which won't work because of transportational difficulties, and the third of which requires my getting off my lazy ass and going into town knowing that I'd probably be stuck there overnight, which, I suppose, can again be summarized as a transportational difficulty, although less difficult since I can in fact get there on my own, but it's unlikely. J. is away visiting family, and so, in theory, I will hang out at home or in nearby cafes and get some serious academic research done.

Perhaps I'll wander down briefly to the waterfront and check out the Salem Maritime Festival today or tomorrow, but it was vaguely lame last year, so perhaps I won't.
