Promoting opera on the Colbert Report -- my favorite bit was the part about who wins in a fight, the soprano or the mezzo? (Which is clearly the opportunity to provide my favorite generic opera plot description: "the story of a soprano and the tenor who must overcome the baritone to have her." Generally amusingly accurate.)

Couldn't bring myself to drag my lazy carcass out of bed till I'd gotten a good ten hours of sleep this "morning", which was definitely not the plan, and then accidentally took a four-hour "nap" this afternoon, and now I'm exhausted and ready to sleep again. Given that I've been mostly feeling much more solid and put-together and non-broken emotionally, seems like this whole thing where I feel like I need to spend more than half my time asleep (plus the lingering sickness) is not in fact a depression thing, so Friday I go over to Medical and try to persuade them to test me for mono and maybe strep. I'm not sure what a diagnosis would get me, because any more bed rest than I'm currently getting and they'll have to declare me comatose, and this is not exactly a time of year that lends itself to "please give me an extension on the projects I have due because it turns out I have a legit reason for sleeping all the time instead of doing work" -- but it would be kind of nice to know. Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Okay, a little more work and a little studying and then I sleep again...
