My eyes!

I read a book all day long and now my eyes are feeling the strain. I don't think that playing with my computer really counts as a rest, but I ought to write some words. I'm watching television too. The Japanese epic drama is on and this episode has a lot in the way of unlikely fight choreography. They cast the most improbable people as badasses. We're supposed to believe that Matsu Ken, as Benkei, can fling the bad guys over the gate with one swipe of his naginata. I have to admit, it was pretty eerie when he was battling his doppelganger.

We've had the bibliophile's ideal weekend: we've mostly been lying around and reading. It's been too hot to go outside. If no translation work comes in (hah!), then I'll weed the yard this week when it's supposed to be cooler. And read more books.
