Wonderful day today.

Temperature started at -9 when I woke up to the +10 it sits at now, but I'm hiding inside to stay warm.

Got so much done yesterday that I decided to get back to some studying. I spent an hour working with my Arduino (redid the first "blink" level; then learned how to make the led fade in an out; last, got to use a photo resistor to determine light level in a room).

After that, I got back  into my Algebra course. It's been a while since starting it so I started from the beginning. Today was signed integers and concepts of a number line.

As I expected, the news today was Scalia's death. Impressive man no matter what your politics.

TV wise

Found two shows I enjoy. One, 30 Rock, ran its whole run and I don't remember it from that time. Came across it on NetFlix and decided to dip in. Binging ever since. Some of their work is brilliant. The show is like a boxing match: two unexpected quick left jabs and then they hit you with a right cross you never see coming. The show is one surprise after another. Surprise guest stars (Steve Buschemi, Betty White, Brian Williams), twists in plot, merging story lines. Just started the fourth season.

Unexpected surprise was finding a PBS British import called Vicious. Old actor queen and his significant other with a couple of eccentric friends and handsome young neighbor. Dialogue is pointed, sarcastic and vicious. It's also kind, warm and loving. Only one season and I watched it all.
