Marking is done. I can't believe I marked 40 assignments in less than a day.
Well apart from entering the marks for it and the first year essays into the spreadsheets and 3 extras to mark.

We had about the first hour-90 minutes of the Venus transit here in Sydney until the sun set. Unfortunately I didn't get to see any of it because I was grading assignments. But my sister, Korinne, was helping run a viewing at the uni, and our brother had one of his telescopes there too. Mum and dad went and watched while I dealt with the assignments in the lecturer's office. Korinne took a video with the ccd camera, so got to watch that tonight. Was interesting watching it move onto the sun and especially the blackdrop effect where even though Venus was fully onto the sun, it still looked like it was part off, but then it was a little like watching paint dry ;)

Am recording Angels in America. When I'll have time to watch it is another matter.

And pissed off with the damn Muse. She wanted to write when I was marking and now when I need her for Wingswing or to finish the multitude of other stories...and CJ and Toby--they were much better when they weren't talking. Going to be another CJ/Toby added to the unfinished pile and start pointing and penalising me now because Wingswing isn't going to happen. Absolutely zilch.

I'm tired.
