Debating whether to stay off today...
Yeah, worse today. Annoying cough and aches and pains all over. I need a good sleep.
You'd better stay at home then. And get well!
Thanks!

And there's a Sonisphere announcement with day/stage splits to look forward to Brig.
Yes, the moment of truth, ie what I will miss on Friday. I wonder if we get any more bands announced?

Black trousers from now on then.
So as most of you know, I work as a guide and educator at the Museum for Islamic Art. Here's why I love the job: I had a class (second grade) from a Jewish school today, and at one point, I stop to let the kids roam around and discover things for themselves.
Kid #1: Is this Arabic script?
Me: Yes. You read it from right to left.
Kid #1: Like Hebrew!
Me: Exactly like Hebrew.
Kid #1: What does it say?
Kid #2: Something evil.
Teacher: What makes you think that?
Kid #2: It's in Arabic. Arabia is evil.
Teacher (angrily gesticulating towards the marvelous artworks that surround us): Does this look evil to you?!
The teacher then turned around and told me this was exactly why she was bringing the class here. I love education.

At least Jews in Berlin have gotten over the 1930s/40s though.
