(no subject)

I had a list for today, but I've been so busy tidying that I've put it somewhere safe. Today is an at-home day and I have lots of things to fill it. I've already listened to Smetana and Bizet and those tapes are now out (they weren't hiding anything) and very early this morning I found a cassette that claimed to be Mussorgsky but turned out to be a reading by JRRT. If that reading's still commercially available then my tape will go, but if it isn't then I don't know what to do. Likewise I'm not sure what to do with the Canadian radio comedy from the 80s. Friends sent it to me, for we used to go to recordings together. They recorded it straight from the radio - it's never been available commercially. The classical music is easier: they were copies of records we had at home, made specifically for me to travel. So I can listen to them one last time, then aim to buy new recordings on new media, when my life settles.

I have some edits to do today, then a final of an article to be emailed. Then I have a solid review to finish reading for, one review to write and a BiblioBuffet essay. Plus I have that pile of papers...

The problem with sorting and tidying is that I always get left with *that* pile of papers... It's not a bad one, as things go, it's just that the weather is finally comfortable and my body is declaring sleeptime. Sleeptime tonight, work today. Also much coffee.
